Ruff. As in I took a couple bites of my "cheesesteak" sandwich and decided I would not even give it to my dog. Stale untoasted bread, the vegetables were slimy and tasted off, and I could see the cook as he cooked it - he had to check how to make the sandwich numerous times. After 20 minutes, when the rest of the pub was empty (3pm) he finally got it under the heat lamp but forgot the frys - no big deal, they plan on forgotten frys by keeping a working stock of pre-fryed frys that can just be dunked in the oil for a few seconds so you get this nice unseasoned, oily mess.
I have been many McMenamins and I don't expect much - they are the definition of mediocre, but I have had better food at Cass Co. jail in North Dakota. I seriously had two bites and then waited ten minutes before someone showed up so I could ask for my check.
Oh yeah - while the cook was borking this simple sandwich, I got to watch him stack the peppers and meat on top of the basting cover when he realized that he screwed something else up. The kitchen manager at this place should be fired for even hiring that guy. Because of this experience, I will never set foot inside of another McMenamins again
