It’s Thursday night and you know what that means. Thirsty Thursday Luigi’s is open. In case you are not familiar, Luigi’s Supper Club is a local restaurant in Kemmerer, WY, and comes highly recommended by the locals.
We checked out of course, and much to my surprise it was nice… but also a bit strange.
For one thing, the place is only open once a week, which is very weird for a restaurant. Second the place is ONLY open 5:30-8 and EVERYONE arrives promptly at 5:30, which I guess you kind of have to in order to get a table. The place is pretty big, but they cram all the tiny tiny tables into one tiny little corner. They really keep this place pretty small. You are practically on top of the people next to you.
The service, is pretty much the worst service that ever existed! If you could even call it that. The waitresses (there are only two) will get to you when one of them is damn well ready. After we were seated for about 15 minutes a waitress brought menus, and shortly afterward remembered to ask what we wanted to drink… She then prompty forgot to bring us the drinks. Another 10 minutes later I reminded her.. but felt like I broke some kind of a sacred code not to ask the waitress for ANYTHING.
The menu only had four menu options, changing weekly. This week it was Prime Rib, Pig Tails, Chicken Pot Pie, or Halibut. We both got the Prime Rib.
Dinner came with Salad and dessert.
The food was good. The prime rib, far too fatty for my liking, but that was just me. It wasn’t so bad… but it also took a long time to get our dinners. They NEVER came and refilled our little glasses of water.
The verdict is still out if this place is good (considering the other options around town) or just the strangest restaurant EVER. I’m leaning toward the latter.
Oh, and I desperately wanted to take photos of my food and of the place, but it was so odd, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, and risk being ostracized by all the locals. Maybe next time. If there is one of course.
