Great 50's style feelHere we are again at Shari's Diner on N Buffalo in Summerlin. This 50's style diner has been one of out most visited reviews. We were featured twice on Shari's new website and I just got in some really cool mini business cards from Food Buzz show my blog & me as a featured publisher of Food Buzz, so I thought we had better revisit this place and see what's changed.
We decided to go for a late lunch about 1 pm on Sunday afternoon, we had just finished what we hope to be the last of the Christmas shopping. Well we seated ourselves because there was nobody and I mean nobody around. The place was DEAD!!. There was an older man who could have passed for homeless sitting off in the corner by the restrooms. After a few minutes we were given menus and ordered drinks. Last time here they had just opened and had paper menus so now to see a real menu was nice. We wanted to order an appetizer since the kid usually fills up on it and doesn't want a whole meal. Again they had NO Green Fried Tomatoes-If you are gonna offer them on the menu you should probably have a source of green tomatoes, like maybe home grown hydroponic or a vendor. So things started somewhat poorly.
I then asked if they had the Sweet potato fries w/ powdered sugar and she said yes-Isaw her write something down and then I ordered myself a Lola Special-Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich, a Happy Face Pancake for the boy, and a Sandi Melt for the wife.
While we waited for the food we took advantaged of the 2 for $0.25 jukebox filled with 50's classic rock music.
The food came out with NO appetizer-she must have forgot and I never got a chance to ask before she went away. Well the wife was extremely disturbed that the side of sweet potato fries she ordered came dusted in powdered sugar because that's NOT what she ordered nor was she informed they were served that way. The patty melt was good but the cheese wasn't quite melted. The pancake had whipped cream on it where the eyes & nose go, so the kid cried about that but was fine once it was covered in syrup. The bacon was good & crispy but small like 1 piece broken in 2.
The chicken teriyaki sandwich was great-grilled perfectly-tender & juicy but cooked. The teriyaki sauce was tangy & spicy and the onion rings/pineapple tings with the Hawaiian sweet roll bun was the perfect mix. A very filling sandwich. The fries were hot & crispy too.
Overall the food was pretty good minus the powdered sugar , but this time around the service was a little lackluster. Halfway through our meal another couple with some kids arrived -they were the only ones there besides us. They were seated near us in a table that had syrup on it and had not been wiped down. I did notice the seats are a little grungy and some have been torn and duct taped up. The place was like a ghost town. Lunch hour on Sunday Afternoon and nobody there.
