Choosing where to eat these days is usually dictated by the coupons in the Clipper Magazine.  I was in the mood for a nice greasy hamburger tonight so the stack of hamburgers in the Roosevelt's ad immediately drew my eye.  First thing I usually look for is the specials menu because I'm frugal/poor like that.  They have all their specials cycling through on one of the many flat screens hanging on the wall.  Monday's special is $5 half pound burgers and $2 beer bottles, exactly what the doctor ordered.

We started off with some boneless hot wings.  The waitress warned us that their wings are on the spicier side, so we decided to err on the side of caution and went with medium.  She wasn't lying.  The sauce was pretty hot for medium.  We also each ordered a half pound burger which comes with fries.  Lots of fries.  I ordered my burger medium.  When our burgers came out it wasn't our waitress that brought them out, but rather a man who I assumed to be a manager.  Before I even got to see the burger he apologized for the burger being overcooked and asked if I wanted him to redo to the order. I'm really not that picky with my food so I told him that it was okay, and I would just take the burger as is.  Upon inspection it was overcooked but barely.

I also ordered another beer which he brought out himself and said that it was on the house since they overcooked my burger.  That was a really nice gesture which goes a long way in my book.  I finished my burger but couldn't get through all the fries.  It was just too much.  Normally we wouldn't have ordered an appetizer, but since the coupon we had was for $3 off a $20 check we had to order a little extra to reach the minimum.  However, since one of my beers was on the house our check was a few cents under $20.  I was worried that we wouldn't be able to use the coupon because we hadn't reached the minimum, but they never said a word.  To be honest, my burger and fries were a little bland, but the great service more than made up for it.  I'll definitely be going back with or without a coupon.

Wednesdays are trivia night and all you can eat wings.  Who's in?
