Smile Wolfgang Puck’s Brownwood Restaurant

My wife and I had dinner here just last night (2 July). We happened into their early bird special, which includes a beverage, salad, and an entree for $29/person. The pork schnitzel was larger than the plate on which it was served. The onion rings that accompanied my wife’s meatloaf could have easily been mistaken for doughnuts.

I think that this “special” runs through the end of August. It seems like very good value to me. You mileage might vary.

What time did you go? Did you have to wait for a table? Sounds good.

They make the best salad that we've had in TV.

We made a reservation for 4:30. There were dozens of open tables at that time. The hostess seated us immediately.

No. It's $29 to sit in a nicely appointed, air conditioned room at a comfortable table while someone else caters to your every reasonable dining and drinking need in a relaxed, effortless environment for you. During this time someone else completely prepares, cooks, and serves your meatloaf and the accompanying side dishes. All of this was made in a commercial kitchen while someone else did the shopping for the ingredients you are going to consume. All of these people are employed and raising their own families, and paying their own rents, mortgages, car loans, gas, taxes, etc. Dining here also helps to keep the establishment profitable and open so that it is available should you or anyone else wish to visit it or entertain / celebrate their family in the future. Your $29 is going a very long way.

It is not just $29 for meatloaf.

Skip, try The Old Time Diner in Leesburg. BOGO house-made meatloaf every day. Great food and 50's atmosphere.

It’s been about two years or so since we dined at Wolfgang Puck’s. The fact we were not impressed the two times we dined there is an understatement . Not a “hater” just expect good food and reasonable service at a reasonable price. There have been other Threads on TOTV regarding this restaurant. Search or go and decide for yourself. There is much more than just a name to a restaurant IMHO.

$29.00? What is it if it’s not special?

Sounds like one of those if you have to ask the price you cannot afford it.

To me meat loaf is normally one of the cheapest items on the menu.

$29 for meatloaf sounds right, especially if you’re in California

What is hateful about querying the price of meatloaf?
