"I ordered a large glass of orange juice along with the chicken fried steak smothered in country gravy, which set me back $31 for one meal, the juice, tax, and tip.
The chicken fried steak was outstanding; it had a perfectly crispy texture and the meat was so tender that it could be cut with a fork.
However, the country gravy was an absolute disaster in terms of flavor. Its texture resembled wheat paste and it lacked any hint of seasoning. Honestly, a pre-packaged spice mix from the grocery store would have been an improvement. It was such a struggle to get through it that I ended up scraping it off to avoid finishing the rest.
How does a restaurant with such high praise end up serving such dreadful country gravy? Are they trying to avoid offending anyone with spices? Country gravy is supposed to be seasoned!
I've never encountered a restaurant that managed to ruin the flavor profile of country gravy to the point where it's inedible. Shaking my head at this experience."
