Tony Roma's

Congratz to both my roomies...one got his DL, and the other got her PR! For celebration, we decided to go to Tony Roma's. My family used to visit the place quite often, especially on Tuesdays with their AYCE ribs, but I never got the chance, so this is actually my 1st time.

To begin the feast, we ordered the Onion Ring Tower...

I'd heard of this before, but to actually see it and eat it is a whole new experience! With the cheese dipping sauce, it sure is good. However, my roomy complained it being to soggy, and is usually crispier. I would think it would taste that much better crispier.



3.5/5

For main dish, my roomies decided to share a whole rib


I tried bit of the ribs, and they tasted ok to me, just tons of bbq sauce on it. The good thing is this place offers 4 kinds - regular, spicy, sweet, and smoked. Based on what I was told of TR's ribs, I've alwasys imagined that there was something special, nonparallel taste and texture to it, but I was disappointed with this one.

3/5

Finally, I myself had the pulled chicken sandwich...(had dinner at home already, so didn't go for the monster meal tonight)

This was really disappointing...it's basically a pulled-pork wannabe, but failed miserably. All I can taste was bbq sauce all over.

2.5/5

Well, there goes my 1st time at TR, leaving with a full stomach but unsatisfied palate. Is this the same kinda TR my family have been raving about? Boooooo..(I still love my Memphis Blues!)

Service: 3/5
Ambience: 3.5/5
