While driving in the middle of nowhere, we were lured to the Davis Mountain
Market & Restaurant by a big sign more than 6
miles earlier, announcing what looks like an old-school snackbar. In fact, it
is a gas station that has a small grill and about three tables inside. The few
people that we see in the roughly thirty minutes that we are there, more on
that below, seem mostly local, hunters, who all know each other. Interestingly,
few eat here…. We should have picked up on that sign!
I order a Double Big Mountain Hamburger ($4.69) and
a cup of chili ($3.69). Sounds like a fairly easy procedure, right? Not here.
Not with this woman behind the counter. Almost every word I say I have to
repeat before it registers…. and causes great confusion. With the help of a
former employee, who is just there to pick up here own food, my order finally
get through. Unfortunately, it will take another 20-25 minutes before the food
arrives (in the meantime, they take care of exactly one other order). The “Double
Big Mountain Hamburger” includes two small but quite
thick patties, which do not taste like 100% beef, lettuce, tomato, onion,
mustard, ketchup, on a basic bun. Type of burger you’ll pick up at a basic family barbeque… when you are 2 hours late to the party. The chili comes, I assume, from a can, and tastes quite gross and
watery.
VERDICT: 31/100
Ok, what
can you expect from food at a gas station in the middle of nowhere? Well, at
least a bit better quality and much less expensive food. This is GROSS!
