I like when the waitstaff wears the GSL stickers.. even though they were forbidden at Innsbrook to do so.
They wear the metal GSL pins - their daily jewelry.
I'd really like to hear more of the conversations that other customers have with them.
The staff, particularly these ladies, are superb ambassadors.
Yata hey
Last February, was the first time we went there.
I wrote this in OVN and the next time I went in, it was framed and on the wall. It's still there.
Lunch at River City Diner I’ve heard fellow VCDL members talk about the River City Diner for a long time now, but since I am usually at the farm on Weekends or rushing around, had never been there.
I’m Diabetic and control it with diet alone. It ain’t easy and I have to be picky about what I eat. My wife and I eat 4 or 5 times a week at Cracker Barrel but yesterday, the Manager at the Mechanicsville location, refused to leave the damn potatoes out of the Ham and Cheese Skillet. It kicked my level up 50 points. That made me mad so today while the better half and I were at Blue Ridge Sports, we decided to have lunch at River City.
I was sure they served alcohol but was wearing my Taser, so I left it concealed and went in.
It was clean and well decorated and was playing 50’s and 60’s music and HAD A SMOKING SECTION. (Just a quick reminder that Kaine’ anti Virginia smoking bill got him the double OX BUTT award here).
The Waitress or more correct title, SERVER, was Courtney and she fit the theme of the place perfectly. She was a lot of fun to be around and the service was great.
I checked out the menu and they serve breakfast all day. So far, they had hit 100%. The prices were good too.
I ordered Near Coffee (Decaf. I can’t drink REAL coffee anymore). It tasted good even if it didn’t have any guts.
Then I ordered Steak and eggs without any potatoes or bread. My wife, who hates most everything she eats, ordered a Cheeseburger. My eggs were done the way I ordered and Courtney had given me an extra egg because I didn’t get anything else….Hear that Cracker Barrel!
The big shock came when Jane finished and Said “That’s the best Cheeseburger I’ve ever had”. Good lord! No complaints.
The rest was paying and going home.
Gotta give them a AAA rating. They don’t panic at the sight of a gun, good food, good service, fair prices and interesting employees. Give it a try. I’ll be going back.
