I understand your point, but this is as it relates to a discussion about twin peaks.
We can be a tad pretentious can't we?

Just some decent food and good service. That is not too much to ask.

This. If I want to see young, trashy girls in skimpy outfits I need only attend an Ursulines Academy volleyball game.












































That was a joke. I would never go to such a game to watch young girls because I am not a pervert.

Exactly. The food was decent, service/atmosphere not so much.. which is kindof a big deal since it's a place that is a successful based solely on their atmosphere and girls.

That taco looks terrible.

The ground beef with the taco seasoning kits and shells that people make at home look a lot better.

Honestly, no offense Rjone, but the description was seriously spot on. Ground beef, cheese, lettuce, pico, sour cream. If i'm getting mini tacos as an app, I want them to be something different like fish tacos with an interesting sauce or korean beef tacos.. etc.

Of all the apps listed, I thought the tacos seemed least interesting and almost like something they just put on there to fill space. You can kinda tell when an item is "signature" to a place or if it's just there to please certain people. That being said, I hate when restaurants put something on their menu that they're not good at and half arse it.

Usually the restaurants who just have a 1 page menu can specialize better/make better dishes than the restaurants who have a 5 page menu.

So, OP went to twin peaks.. didn't get good service/food

Is there supposed to be a plot twist in this story?

I ate at purple goose tonight on a last second decision by gf, it was okay.. had pulled pork nachos (ok) for app and fish tacos (ok) and gf had crab cake sandwich (pretty good)

but back to rjones thread.. are you really surprised? What did you expect with all those Harleys out front? And bad taco is bad

I love how y'all are are giving a serious critique to Twin Peaks, then pretentiously talk about how your beers are too cold. If you're willing to eat at TP, you don't get to rip on people for liking to drink cold beer.

Critique away. I just thought it was funny that anyone who is willing to eat at TP was going to bust on someone for what temperature they like to drink their beer.

I said one little thing about the temperature of the beer in my critique.

Willing to eat at TP? Take away the slutty outfits and its still just a regular ole restaurant. Its not like I was going to taco bell and expecting some great mexican and bitching when i got shitty food

I have not, and will not eat there. Those types of places annoy the shite out of me. They sit at the table because they think it makes you feel special.

"Shut up whore and bring me my damn BEER!"

We ordered beers. She forgot them for awhile. They were just sitting on the bar warming up. Well this wasnt that bad because they serve their beers ridiculously cold. 32 degrees wtf? Do they realize they are taking pride in doing something wrong?


Whoa now. The taps are a ridiculously cold 29 degrees.

What a colossal waste of time and money.

Ouch. Twin Peaks' wings must be tossed in dog shite, because Hooters has some of the worst wings I've ever had the displeasure of tasting.
