We've been going to Reinos since high school, some forty-five years. We remember the original owner Frankie. On any given Friday or Saturday night we would go to Reinos and get their meatball or Italian sub. The subs were large, affordable and very good back then. Frankie would be out mingling and joking. It was a good time. We still have fond memories. Boy how things changed!
We ordered subs for delivery, current price $7.25. We ordered two with double cheese. Our bill was $18! Reinos bakes their subs open faced. The top and bottom faces of the buns were completely black. They were burnt stiff. We now regret not having taken pictures for you. We were troubled. What kind of restaurant would actually send these subs out for delivery? We decided we could no longer trust Reinos to deliver a good sub or other any other items. Since we have known the owner for years, we decided to still go to their buffet. Our decision changed the next day when we found out our loyalty to Reinos was not appreciated.
The next day, Saturday, we were up early and accomplished a lot of tasks by 10:45. We still had a few truckloads of wood to cut and wanted to get that done. We were hungry and decided Reinos buffet wouldn't slow us down. We could eat and get on our way quickly. We arrived at 11:05 and saw the side walk sign they put out daily (buffet at 11:00 for $7.50). We were surprised there was nothing out for the buffet. After we arrived a waitress came in. We asked her if the buffet started at 11:00. She didn't answer, but informed us the food would be out in a few seconds. The food was just put in the oven. It took another 15 minutes. Most items weren't put out until 11:20. During our wait the owner walked in. We asked him what time the buffet started. He too wouldn't answer us other than to state they had to call and get the waitresses out of bed. Then he disappeared into the kitchen. We didn't get a chance to ask him why two subs that weren't edible were allowed to leave his restaurant and be delivered. And we were still confused why the buffet wasn't ready. How tuff can it be to get 4 or 5 pans in the oven on time. A task they perform daily.
The owner and staff knew we were upset. A simple apology, acknowledgement that they were having difficulty and were sorry for any inconvenience, would have been more than enough for us. We received no apology. I guess they wanted us to just sit there, remain quiet, wait and be thankful they got the buffet on by 11:20.
A word about the buffet, there aren't that many items on it. They start with a meat/cheese pizza and a foldover. The Fettuccine Alfredo is always lacking enough sauce. The rest of the buffet is so so. They put out bread sticks, but cut them up into small bite size pieces. Chintzy? Day in and day out the buffet is pretty much the same. On Saturday evenings and Sundays they raise their price to $10. They add or change a few items, but those buffets are pretty much the same. We stop going to those buffets because they didn't warrant 10! Their buffet starts at 11:00, but there are very few days when it is ready on time. As stated, we were expected to wait until 11:20. There are buffets in town much better than Reinos, most cost at least a dollar less and start at the time advertised!
That Saturday our city held a Pumpkin Stroll. Reinos participated and advertised they were having a buffet for the strollers in their party room located in the building across the street from their restaurant. You could purchase tickets in advance for the great price of only $17! They advertised you should get your tickets early because they we're going fast! We're not sure why Reinos thought they could ask an outrages price, but on Saturday the day of the stroll, they quickly lowered their buffet price to $10, after very few strollers would pay their price. We were sitting in Reinos when strollers wondered in. They were pr
