My wife and I went to lunch at a casual dining place that would like to be a fine dining place, but doesn’t have the food or prices to support it. The name is Romano’s Macaroni Grill (http://www.macaronigrill.com). This a chain restaurant that has 3 locations is St. Louis. At the location that we went to they have a new lunch menu, which is nice because before this they only had dinner entree’s for lunch. I ordered a combo Dou and selected a half chicken and cheese sandwich with a Caesar salad and the wife ordered a pizza called the Sicilian. Which is funny given that northern Italians should never be cooking anything Sicilian.

Details

The restaurant was busy at 12:30pm on a Saturday. As usual we started our restaurant experience by going to the bathroom, we snacked on two tiny bags of baked Cheeto’s (Orange Hand Syndrome). The mens bathroom was very tiny and really not very clean. Paper towels all of the place. The sink was handicap accessible, but the stall was not. Very odd.

My wife ordered the food and I sat with the boys at the only table that was left open. We hand a coupon for a new sandwich. It was a standard roast beef or ham melt, but instead of a bun it had a sourdough slice of bread. We ordered that as a combo which came with curly fries and a drink. We finished of the order with a 5 for 5.95 three regular roast beefs and two apple turnovers. We add two regular drinks and that brought the total to 12.97

The Opinion

All and all the new sandwich was good. It was a pleasant twitch to the regular sandwich, which is extremely boring even with Arby’s sauce on it. I overall think that for under 13 dollars there is almost no a better sandwich lunch. I was unhappy about the bathroom cleanliness, but the rest of the restaurant was very clean. If we find ourselves once again in Kirkwood and hungry for lunch, I do believe I would eat there again
