Penny's Diner


After hours and hours of driving, we all decided in the middle of Wyoming that we needed some ice cream.  We originally planned on grabbing something quick at McDonald's, but we walked in and it was slow and disgusting.  A local recommended we try Penny's Diner instead.  We should've just kept driving.
The idea for Penny's Diner is cute - it's supposed to be an old-fashioned diner with vintage decor and such.  But the dirt on the floors of this particular Penny's Diner took away from the cute decorations.  We ordered 3 chocolate shakes and 2 malts and it took FOREVER.  There were two waitresses helping us and both were extremely rude about taking our order and making the shakes.  After two of the chocolate shakes were finished, we had to ask for spoons or straws and then she handed us a handful of 7 or 8 straws.  We only ordered 5 shakes.  They obviously weren't happy to be working that day.

 

We finally got our whole order and left.  Hoping the shakes would make up for the poor service and the fact that everything was overpriced, we all guzzled down on our treats.  To our dismay, they weren't even good shakes!!  How can you ruin a classic milkshake??  The grumpy waitresses were feeling lazy and barely mixed it up, so it was chunky and had clumps of frozen milk from letting it sit too long before mixing.  I ate my entire shake anyway, but regretted it soon after.  It didn't sit well at all - so much that I wasn't even in the mood for dinner.  If you know me, that's pretty rare that I don't want dinner!

I think I've made it pretty clear...don't go to Penny's Diner, especially the one in Rawlins, Wyoming.


The Last Word:  Poor service, overpriced and nasty food
