5. mashed potatoes and brown gravy

7. iced water
8. and a great choclate cake!

Pre-Bed Snack:gin and tonic

First of all, we had a great waiter at the Boot Hill Restuarant! He was a young fellow who did a fine job and earned his tip!

We ordered the 14oz Ribeye steak with baked potatoes and water. It took a long time for the meal to come. In fact, our waiter dropped by the table, appologized for the wait and went back to the kitchen to check on our meal.

A couple of minutes later, a runner brought the food out, our waiter gave us the plates and we were ready to go.

Kathie took a small bite out of her potatoe and said "this potatoe is cold".

I touched my potatoe and sure enough, it felt as cold as if it had just came out of the refrigerator. I was pissed off!

We called the waiter over, told him both potatoes were cold (I repeated what I'd said about it feeling like it just came from the refrigerator) and he took the plates back to the kitchen.

Our waiter came back and said "it will take 20 minutes to cook more potatoes.

I said "put them in the microwave oven".

He said they could not and asked if we wanted mashed potatoes and brown gravy. We agreed to this.

No manager came around to appologize for the cold baked potatoes and in fact, we didn't see a manager at all!

I suppose the focus at Boot Hill Casino has been on the gambling and not the food. Well, I'm not much on gambling but do like a nice meal.

Last night was the third time we've eatten at the Boot Hill Casino and the first two time were excellent! We have heard people bitching about bad food at the BH Casino and we thought they had to be wrong.

It now appears the quality has moved downhill since the BHC restaurant opened and that has only been 11 days!

The last time we went to the Dodge City Applebys, we had very poor service and haven't gone back since (this visit was around 10 December 2009).
