Rubattino's in Renton

Well this morning the Famished Four were back on track, hungry and ready to strap on the ol feedbag. Governed by the entertainment coupon this am, we picked Rubattinos ( "best b fast in town") as quoted on the coupon. We had our great niece Mackenzie in tow this morning, while her older brother Keegan went to his ski lesson, along with Ol Hot T and Smoj, in we walked, bout 945 ish, special reader board out front beckoned us with such bfast delights as steak and eggs 7.95 , biscuits and gravy, 5.95 chicken fried steak Yada yada, you know the drill. yep once inside the quaint little cafe / Bar/ meeting place it was obviously seat yourself, so we did. I know this wasn't the case , but the cooks looked out at us like are you sure you want to eat here?, there was three tables out of 20 or so that were occupied, and the waitress kept telling the cooks I only have two arms! she wasnt that busy, but in her mind ... she was swamped! Ken ordered Hot T of course, lucky for him he didnt ask for something special like english b fast... Lipton it was! Val had her usual oj they did have that , MSue had Ice T... right? Nope, no Ice T for breakfast, they brought her hot T and two glasses of ice, didnt dare ask for lemon! I had what was probably the worst coffee I've ever had , but it came often. Ken ordered the sausage patty breakfast, 3 eggsters over medium,browns de mushy and of course the sausage. Val had the whatever scramble, deja vu... good thing it was on the menu like that,cuz I dont think Goin all Smoj on em and requesting an omlette like a scramble would have flown, .... but she said it was good, although cleverly disguised as whole wheat her toast arrived as rye...Yuck... Val dont do Rye. MSue, along with her homemade ice tea, had the Biscuits and gravy, she asked if it was good? the waitress replied, its our biggest seller, right after the Chicken Fried Steak,what a salesperson! Msue also asked if it came with Hashbrowns.. it did not! and after talking the Waitress into it, also got a side of HB's actually the skits and gravy were pretty good. Hmmmm! Steak and eggs for 7.95 what a bargain, thats for me I stated! You'll be sorry! Msue exclaimed, we ate at the Metropolitan Grill the previous weekend, your gonna be dissappointed! I ordered it anyway, Steak(medium rare) eggs over medium, browns over mushy, good thing I didnt order well done meat, it arrived that way. So funny thing our food arrived at the table in turn, Ol Hot T's came first, one minute later Smoj's arrived, two minutes here came MSues, then Mackenzie 's Pancake (well done) ahh at last my meal bringin up the rear, so the rest of the table got to watch me eat, as they were almost finished with theirs. We had to ask for the bill, she was so busy... I did tip her well, she was working herself into such a tizzy, So out we walked, a couple hours later, and as we did a happy couple was coming in, I almost advised them to keep walkin! but I did not. let them figure it out, All in all I guess the food wasn't too bad ( or too good) but Frankly, I dont see a return trip in the future
