R-place Eatery - Morris

This restaurant has been serving delicious food since 1989, and I absolutely love it! There's plenty of seating, and the place is very clean. You can either dine in or grab pre-made items to go, including pastries, lasagna, chicken pot pie, and much more.

However, when we walked in this time, we immediately noticed something was off—it was almost empty. The playful decor was gone, which was off-putting, but we were willing to see what the new menu had to offer. What we found was shocking: a tiny menu with shocking prices. I get that costs are rising, but $17 for a burger and fries? And an $18 entrée of chicken and broccoli with no sides? Seriously, starches don’t cost that much! Despite our reservations, we placed our orders. My wife chose pork chops while I opted for the Southern BBQ burger. The pork chops were what I’d call a mystery cut. They looked like the ones you’d find at Jewel where the good pieces are hidden under less desirable cuts. As for the green beans, they didn’t taste fresh at all. She said they were okay, but clearly they had been cooked on a flattop; I thought they looked boiled. On the upside, my burger was actually tasty, though it didn’t look very appealing when it arrived. I’d rate it a solid 7 out of 10. Unfortunately, the fries were clearly crinkle-cut from frozen, which is not only lazy but also a poor way to serve food. Our waitress was polite but seemed rushed, even with only two other tables to attend to. I found it frustrating when she dropped off items like tea and napkins without engaging with us. In the end, I’ll give the place one star solely for the burger. Unfortunately, I doubt we’ll return. I’ve heard it’s now owned by BP, which doesn’t really matter, but it used to be locally owned, and local owners often care more about their customers.

The breakfast here is truly excellent; everything tastes fresh and is served hot. However, lunch and dinner don't quite match that quality. Many dishes I've tried seem like they may have been made from frozen ingredients or leftovers from the previous day. For instance, I ordered a Reuben sandwich, and the meat was tough, while the bread was quite dry. On the bright side, the breakfast options are definitely worth it.

Boy has this place changed. The online menu was all wrong. Chicken Tenders consisted of 6 tiny pieces of chicken and French fries for $12.99. Nothing else with it no garnishes at all. They tasted fine but definitely not worth the price. We ordered kids penne pasta $6.99 with a very small bowl of pasta no bread nothing else. The buttermilk chicken sandwich was $13.99 again with fries but no garnishes. A small Diet Pepsi was an additional $2.69 no refill. For the total of $36.66 we took no food home and had barely enough that we ate. The dinner's had the salad bar available. Not any more. The service was very slow but courteous. The senior citizen menu was not available like it always was. They didn't offer it. This place was always packed especially with seniors and truck drivers. With the ridiculously high prices and small amount of food given I would bet that's why they were so empty. This is the last time I will be eating there. It's not worth the price at all.

Absolutely horrible!!!! My sister and her husband joined us for dinner and they ordered the pot pie they were burned and inedible. I ordered the cream of potato soup it also was terrible nothing but water and potatoes. We will NEVER dine here again.
