A bad experience at Pastime yesterday

Wife and I stopped by Pastime yesterday on the way back to Houston for lunch. We each got the roast beef poboy. Asked for a little extra gravy/juice and were told no by the counter girl. Well to bad because the meat was awful and dry. Worst poboy I have had in a while. I always finish my poboys no matter what but just threw mine away after half was eaten. Wifes only had 3 bites before it hit the can. I always had good food there in the past but this visit will be my last.

I never understood the love for their roast beef poboy. Burgers are decent, but my go-to dish there is the boudin pizza pie.

Seriously? Think I would have walked out after that.

There's rarely any good experiences that come out of that place.

Went once and can honestly say I'll probably never go again. Went on a Friday I think a little after the lunch crowd rush. Go in the little ordering area and we look at a menu and go up to the counter and start telling the lady what we want. She looks at us in disgust and says umm youre supposed to write down what you want on these pads. Oh im sorry, youre the only restaurant in the world where the customer writes their order down on the scratchpad and hands it to you so you can squint at it and try to read it back to me to see if the order is right.
What a terrible way to place orders. So I write down what we want and the lady reads it back yada yada yada. Dont pay and just go sit down. They call us to get food and I go in there to get the pizza and I told the guy I need to pay. He looks at me and goes 'huh?'. Yea I need to pay for my food.
Pizza was average at best. Reminded me of showbiz pizza from the 80s.
Side not. Ill probably be a creepy old man when im older but damn that place had some creepy old men. GF had a shirt that showed some cleavage and I thought some of the old men were either going to have a heart attack from staring at her boobs or start touching their old man parts in the place.

Is the manager from Pastime downvoting all of these posts?

As a kid, I always had a great experience at Pastime. Not so much bc of the food, but bc it meant I was going to watch the Tigers play.
That's why I think that place gets some love.

Wtf does any of that first shite have to do with anything?
Looking is normal, slobbering and gawking is another thing.
Ct, I don't go there

Pastime is what it is. Pizzas and Canadian bacon cheeseburger poboy are tasty. The Advocate food section once did a write up on their famous roast beef. I would think a normal bizness week lunch hour is great for cleavage watching at Pastime. Do the Wesley's still own it?

Last time I went there, had a deliciously greasy pizza, would rcmnd, this was circa 2008

Not sure what the first shite was and I'm not a creepy old man but if cleavage is showing, I'm looking as any other man would and any woman I know showing cleavage is showing it to be looked at.
For the thread, I'm indifferent. I liked getting a cold beer there. Food was always just secondary for me so I never put much stock in it and my expectations are never high. No extra gravy would have led me to a discussion with the girl about me being the customer.

I always enjoyed their pizzas... Was the closest pizza place to where I lived in BR. Haven't been there since 2008 though
