On our latest adventure, we stopped at Penny’s Diner in Low Moor, Virginia. It had great ratings and we were looking forward to lunch there. Our experience, however, was less than stellar.
Our visit started off well enough. The diner was an old school silver diner building. When we walked in an employee greeted us and told us to sit anywhere. We picked a booth and our server approached us in a reasonable time. After reviewing the menu we were ready to order. Chris ordered the Frisco burger. Our server informed us that they were out of sourdough but they could make the sandwich with Texas Toast. We were fine with that. He added chili and cheese to his fries as well. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger with fried apples.
After a few minutes, our server let us know that they were out of mushrooms so I opted for the Cowboy Chili Cheeseburger instead. When our food arrived I received a burger that looked like a combination of two burgers, the one I had ordered and the Western Burger. There was no chili, but instead, it had bacon. I considered letting our server know that I had the wrong burger but after seeing the chili on the fries I decided not to. The chili was very watery with beans, some meat, and tomatoes. It was as if someone had mixed the ingredients, but then forgotten to cook them down properly. The water from the chili swirled around the plate soaking the bread on the burger.
While the overall experience was disappointing, the burgers themselves were very good.
Cost for two burgers and a cup of coffee $22.05.
