So about three months ago, they expanded their menu. They now have a selection of burgers, they added more sandwiches and appetizers, and they have more entrees as well.

I had an Armadillo burger, which is made from fresh ground sirloin and topped off with Goode’s BBQ sauce, sauteed mushrooms and onions, Swiss cheese, and bacon. Delicious.

Other recent additions: wings, an assortment of salads, a club sandwich, a chicken salad sandwich, fried chicken, and a venison chili Frito pie.

But they’ve gotten rid of the queso flameado – tragedy! – and I realized today that of the four times I’ve been to the Palace, I’ve had bad service three times.

Despite being the only table today, we had to wait twenty minutes for sweetener once we got our iced tea, another fifteen minutes to get our order in, our tea glasses went empty twice, and when the food came it wasn’t what we ordered.

The service here is consistently poor. I think there’s a deeper management issue at this place and it’s a damn shame because the food is amazing.
