Went To greedy! ... Well has always been greedy! But whoever runs the show there just can't pull their head out of their ASS!! They keep getting rid of the people that make the Deli work! Use to go once er more a week for a Dbl cheese burger, Pizza, Salads! -- they were VERY good! Also, They were making FAT Egg, Tuna, and other sandwich's -- and the only place I'd pay over $6 (nearly 7 bucks for! )-- Now they want the same amount for them the size of a PB&j san!
They just aren't worth the price or convenience for me anymore! -- been giving them business for years! -- Rant over!

With the increased expenses business are having to pay, prices are going up.
My wife and I have started to follow the quality. Stopped going to the places that had hit and miss food, would rather pay more for better quality food,

 

[PlumLoco]

I paid almost $10 at Del Taco just now for a combination burrito and a quesadilla.
I almost gave it back to her.

 

[WhatExit?]

I’m ok when places charge more for the same quantity and quality but all too often prices have gone up while quantity and/or quality has gone down. That’s when they lose me as a customer

 

[DRYHEAT]

I certainly hope you’re all upset with the real reason for all this nonsense.

That has Nothing to do with this place!

And that is better said than I did! Glad you get it! ... And they lost me!

Anyone that can survive with any legit business now is a miracle worker

 

[RiverDave]

They always had the best cheeseburgers and food in general.. I don’t care if it’s 12 bucks if it’s good!

 

[River Runnin]

I agree! Been going for years! The last change were Grease burgers until they learned! I won't even take a chance now! --- It's canned chili Dog specials now!

They had the best Egg or Tuna sandwich's also! and the only reason I paid near $7 bucks for!

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Is this the place with the chicken on the roof that used to sell broasted chickens but now they don’t and just left the chicken on the roof to confuse the shit out of everybody?

 

[Happy Smitty]

This place fed me for 4 years when I was at Castle Rock Shores. Biggest pizza ever. I think it was 24". Met a lot of good folks in that area over the years.

Yup! their pizzas were great (and close lol) Not sure I'd even try those now! ... It's a whole new deli crew, even the pizza guys!

I hope the breakfast burritos are holding strong! I aways grab a few to enjoy down on the water with a coffee… the simple things

 

[RadMan]

Just like bags of ice, small around me in Dallas have gone from 10# to 8# now 7# bags for $3.00 just yesterday at my local 7/11. A gallon of water is about 8.35#, so I’m paying $3.58/gallon for frozen water which is more than I am paying here for gas.

I learned my freezers ice bucket holds 7#’s of ice so every time it fills up its worth 3$ When compared to 7/11 ice.

They are closed Tuesday and Wednesday and don’t open till noon! And it was 3 for quite awhile!

 

[DLC]

It’s not only mom and pop shops ! Big name brand restaurants also !

its everywhere!

talking to my neighbor the other day he just turned 88, his adult kids run the business, and they can’t get people to work! Going to buy MORE robots as they don’t need raises, time off or call in sick! Machine shop that produces a few products

this is going to hurt the work force in 10-15, 20 years down the road! Automation is great but at what cost - Time will tell

That’s a bummer.

 

[NicPaus]

Preaching to the choir. He keeps raising the prices and letting everything go to shit. The thing that bothers me is the $2 beers for snowbirds and $4 beers for the ones that pay rent year round but can only stay 5 months.

 

[scheppie]

Still eat there all the time. I don’t feel the burgers or 14” pizza have changed. The problem is the cooks are seasonal, some went back to college

 

[welldigger00]

I like their wings too. When I’m hammered, I don’t care if I spend three dollars more.

 

[Rondog4405]

Love that place! Never had a shitty meal!.. i always get what i expect to get out of a gas station joint and more! Good stuff every time!

 

[Backlash]

We've spent a lot of money there over the years!! It was good on our last visit, so hopefully it doesn't change too much over the winter.

 

[Beautiful Noise]

It’s always our go to place when we don’t feel like cooking …..I’m hooked on thier CheeseBurgers

Their wagon wheel pizza you had to bring home in a truck or a hatch back... not sure if it’s still that way but you couldn’t get it through a car door.

Yes and they always had good fuel prices. Amazing they can get any employees at all. Especially that stretch of the river.

 

[PRIMO]

Does Big John still own the Place ?

 

[coz]

I loved it when they had Broasters Chicken there. Been gone for a while now but that was good stuff.

 

[NicPaus]

Does Big John still own the Place ?

He ran it along with the Buckskin location. He was at Big Bend after they did not renew lease at Buckskin (Big ordeal). Have not seen him in a few years. Big MO running Big Bend now. Not sure if John is at the market. He was manager but not the owner.

 

[SKIDMARC]

Wait your complaining about gas station food!!! Lol.

 

[2Driver]

A staple on the way to the house. They used to have a 5.99 pepperoni too. We fed 25 kids in the cabana one evening with those.

 

[RiverDave]

If you haven’t tried it, it really is pretty good

 

[pkrrvr619]

Wait til you try their brownies and cookies they sell at the front register.... crazy good.

The amount of money i have spent at that place over the years having a spot across the street, i don't even want to fathom that.....

 

[Dirtbag]

this is what happens when you have to pay people $17 an hour for an $8 job. Its not just the people who work at the end user but everywhere up and down the supply chain.

 

[River Runnin]

Been going there for over 15 Winters and 4 full time years

Use to go once er more a week for a Dbl cheese burger, Pizza, Salads! -- they were VERY good! Also, They were making FAT Egg, Tuna, and other sandwich's -- and the only place I'd pay over $6 (nearly 7 bucks for! )-- Now they want the same amount for them the size of a PB&j san!
They just aren't worth the price or convenience for me anymore! -- been giving them business for years! -- Rant over!

I'm assuming you haven't been in a grocery store in the last year? I know my wife's Preschool which provides Kids Breakfast & Lunches her food bill has increased approx 45% since the Plandemic. Eating out anywhere these days is a bitter pill to swallow!

Maybe once er twice a week I went for to go orders, (salads, burgers, pizza, chicken strips, taquitos, egg and Tuna Sandwich's) to support the place and workers! Over tipping!! And you would Assume wrong! (which makes you the ??? ) -- And by the way, They have Always been 45% before and after the Flu! -- It's the convenience charge --- Which I never minded! Good food and pretty fair in the Deli, and the Daily $6.00 Pizza (all Pizza's for that matter) keeps ya coming back! ;-)

 

[Yldboyz]

The kids and I would always walk over and grab ice cream in the evening. Their pizza was great!

Thats how we used to bribe our kids when they were little! Hahaha! Glad to hear we weren't the only ones!

Its so convenient being that we stayed at Castle Rock.

 

[River Runnin]

To be fair! I felt I should try again. So it being a rainy day, I got the Pizza, Dbl cheese Burger, chicken strips, and taquitos.

The Daily special & 6 buck Pizza don't get any better!

The Dbl Cheese Burger was as good as before the last grease burger I had!

Perfectly cooked Strips!

As these were also

Now if they can only get them Egg & Tuna Sandwich's back up to par! The Deli be back!
