You repeating yourself isn’t too good either. Know that they are more relaxed and the chef’s won’t be perfect. I’m going tomorrow and understand where I’m going. Either way, this video ain’t perfect. Nor organized either. When people point fingers.

The 11th commandment should be, " THOU SHALT NOT WATCH KZbin FOOD REVIEWS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT"! This made me so hungry. That chicken pie portion was huge and glad the fried chicken was good and available that day.
@NCMemoryMakers3 сағат бұрын
Yes, I couldn't believe how big of a portion they gave her. And the fried chicken was worth waiting for them to bring it out. I didn't mind having to wait, because it gave me time to eat my other stuff, and that meant I was getting it fresh.

In a way, though, we like that old time retro motel feel. We don't get to experience that much anymore. The room was clean, and that's really what's important to us. And we've never been on the grounds of the casino, and never plan to.

We just now watched this video. What a huge place. It would take days to see everything. By the way there is a stadium seat hanging somewhere inside on a wall marking where Harmon Killebrew hit a 520 foot homerun. A plaque marking home plate is at the Nicklelodeon Universe section. We enjoyed watching yall explore the mall.
@NCMemoryMakers14 сағат бұрын
I wish I had seen those things while we were there. I would certainly have included that in the video. Yes, it is a huge mall. We were dead tired that night. We had driven all night to even get to Minnesota, and had just checked into our room and then went to the mall. We wanted to do a video there, and we knew we were leaving early the next morning to go to her family's place. That was really our only chance, but I wish we had been able to sleep first.

Like everything a good cafeteria is great but a poor one can be really bad, similar to a buffet. Their potatoes and Mac and cheese looked great. Not a fan of pot pie. Good review as always don’t blame the kid I won’t not share my cheesecake either.

Yeah, but it was way too big of a piece for a 3 or 4 year old boy. He would have just as soon his brother have done without. J&S is really good as far as cafeterias go. The one we ate at the other week, was okay, but nowhere near on this level.

I think that's pretty much a toss-up, as their chicken is very similar. I love K&W, and I love J&S. The breading on the chicken at J&S might be just a little bit more crispy, which I do like.
