Gator Dan's Restaurant Review

When eating a meal in any of the Ouachita parish restaurants, check out who is sitting near you. If you see a gator,, don’t worry. That gator is probably just a man, it’s probably Gator Dan.

I am Gator Dan and I review Ouachita Parish eating establishments.

I creep out of the bayou , crawling into restaurants of all shapes and sizes. From restaurants that are cheep and fast to expensive restaurants with chef prepared meals, I give each of them a bite rating (between 0 and 5) in the following areas:

· cleanliness
· decor
· service
· accuracy of order
· food quantity
· food quality
· presentation
· price
· Taste.

0 bites means the rated area is as bad as it gets, while 5 indicates the rated area is top notch.
I then give an over all “restaurant” rating of between 0 and 5 gulps. 0 gulps: your patronage is not recommended. Eat at your own risk. 5 gulps: Highly recommended. Eat here every chance you get

This week I visited the Subway sandwich shop located at --- Hwy 34 across from the paper mill in West Monroe. I guess no one had ever witnessed a gator on a bike before because children and parents alike were pointing at me (on mine) with their mouths hanging open in disbelief. When I entered the restaurant, I was trying to be incognito and approached the counter just like any human would, and I was greeted by a fellow who didn’t seem to like his job very much.


I ordered a tuna sub
He seemed a little curt with me asking me several times what kind of bread I wanted, even after I answered him the first time.

Gator Dan’s HWY 34 Subway ratings:

· Cleanliness: 3 bites
· decor: 3 bites
· service: 2 bites
· accuracy of order: doesn’t apply because I stood there spelling it out
· food quantity: 4 bites
· food quality: 3 bites
· presentation: 2 bites
· price: 3 bites
· taste: 3 bites

As you can see, this Subway ranks about average in each of the areas accept, because of the young man’s attitude, service. Presentation I also gave 2 bites because although the sub is simply rolled in paper and stuffed in a bag, a napkin wasn’t inserted with it, and since there were none to be found in the seating area, I was forced to get back in line to get one.

I could probably be talked into eating here again provided I’m low on gas and want something quick and inexpensive to ease my tummy rumble.

Overall Restaurant Rating: 2.5 gulps.
