Just like in every other restaurant, but most of them do not charge almost $30 for meatloaf.

They key is if the enjoyment received is worth the price. It is reasonable to be shocked at the prices. One has to remember much of the higher cost is for the famous name, which may oray not increase the enjoyment level.

I tried their shrimp cocktail once, but it smelled terrible, like dirty socks. I refused to eat it and never went back. It's good to hear that they have improved.

I thought it was obvious he was exclaiming that it was almost $30 for something you can get for around half that price at another restaurant. And in case it is not known, that other restaurant also includes everything in your post as well

I ate there, had their burger. It was a good burger but not as good as one you will get at your average pub for quite a bit less money. They did have a Belgian quad that was very good, something not found in most places.
Which is why there are competitors. Some understand the value, others only understand the price......and there are now plenty of both restauraunts to satisfy both.

Here's just one place you can buy reviews for your business.
BuyReviewz - Buy Reviews Online, 5-Star Positive Ratings
Buy twenty 5-Star Reviews for just $179.99 . Satisfaction guaranteed!

Ever see a new restaurant or other business open for just 2 weeks and the ten 5-Star Reviews come from people that don't even live near the business? They are all fake.
Plus some review systems let you delete real reviews you don't like (the 1-Star ones).

I agree. But how can someone be so gullible to believe that any company can have 1,000 5-star Google reviews with no negative comments by any customers?

Very true.

Can we get back to the more important issue of why $ 29 meatloaf is a reasonable or unreasonable price?

That's not all they have on that early bird menu. One of us is going to have the schnitzel, one of us meatloaf, a beer for DH and a wine for me, and salads.

Oh, and the meatloaf is wrapped in bacon, has potato puree and onion rings, normally $24. So, adding a drink and a salad...not a bad deal. Off topic, but they take reservations. TV has become so crowded I refuse to eat anywhere that doesn't take reservations.

What kind of beverage? Alcohol or soda? That makes a big difference.

One beer or one wine per person.
