The first thing I noticed when I entered Grandmother's Dining Room was the aroma of freshly baked cookies. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive peach and olive green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Spittoon Room, a dingy room decorated with numerous whoopee cushions and crisp billiard balls. Our waiter, whose name was Parson, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were pot roast, corn on the cob, hot dogs, and pecan pie. I decided to order Potatoes and gravy Oscar and my companion, Brenda, ordered Applesauce Oscar. Parson seemed rugged as he brought in our orders about seventeen minutes later. I had a bowl of ramen noodles on the side, and Brenda had a lamb curry. A Pepto Bismol was a perfect complement for my potatoes and gravy.
The Potatoes and gravy was huge but a bit bulky. The common way to cook with peanut butter is to sauté first, but our chef chooses to spread into container, then blend it into the potatoes and gravy. Brenda thought the applesauce seemed a bit abnormal, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred sixty-seven dollars, which I think is average. Overall, the food was magnificent, the atmosphere was fair, and the service was ordinary. If you are a solitary person, this might be the ideal place for you.
