Lee's Steakhouse - Carrizo Springs, Texas

Today wasn't the first time I ate here but I will say it's the LAST. Being on the road is always an adventure that you would hope would be a good one. Unfortunately, an adventure in mediocrity is one that I'd rather not be involved in. Lee's Steakhouse used to be Mi Casa and I don't know if it changed owners or what, but things have definitely gone downhill. It was a couple of minutes before the workers who were sitting around wrapping silverware and watching TV came to the front to acknowledge us. We really seemed like an interruption to their day instead of valued customers. We finally got seated and our frowning waitress asked what we would like to drink. She came back later and took our order. We ordered an appetizer of fried mushrooms to be brought before the meal. While we waited for that I was able to go to the salad bar that had 10 different dressings (that's a plus)and 3 or 4 flies swarming around and landing on different areas of the salad bar that had no sneeze guard. This was one time I could actually say I would have liked to have Barak Obama around. I'm sure he could have caught those flies quickly like he did on TV. Now that's CHANGE this restaurant can believe in. Salad was room temp which was not very appetizing except for the house ranch dressing. Bell peppers had seeds left all over them at the salad bar. Seems like a lack of pride in your work when you don't complete the job of proper salad bar prep. I ordered a 10 oz. Ribeye - Medium Rare. To my dismay my steak was cooked almost well done. It was so lacking in flavor I had to drench each bite in A-1 and Heinz 57 which I absolutely hate to do. I had to ask for butter and sour cream for my baked potato again from a waitress that made it seem like we were such an interruption to her day. My wife ordered enchiladas that were tasty but the sides were sub par. Rice was dried out. Beans had no flavor. Oh and the mushrooms we ordered got there right after our entrees arrived. I noticed them sitting up at the kitchen window while the waitresses were snacking, talking, and watching TV. We asked for the mushrooms too. One waitress came by when my tea was practically empty and my wife was never asked if she wanted a refill on her drink. Right when the food was delivered they left the check and our waitress NEVER came back after that. Needless to say I have not recently had such a desire to excrete a meal from my body as I have for this one. Lack of service, cleanliness, flavor, friendliness, and a downright disdain for customers exhibited by waitstaff at Lee's has pretty much closed their doors to me and my family for good. Don't waste your money, time, or space in your lower intestine eating at Lee's. Cleo's, Sonic, Subway, McDonald's, DQ, Rosita's, Balia Inn, or Stars is a much better use of your hard earned money.
