Tilted Kilt, Lake Mary - Closed

I had lunch at this chain restaurant that used to be a Uno's last Wednesday. I had A Big Arse Bacon Burger for $8.49. It was good. It was cooked liked I asked for. It came topped with thin, fried onion rings and bacon. The barbecue sauce had been flavored with something like nutmeg or cinnamon (something evocative of Middle Eastern cooking). The bun was fresh. The burger was big. The french fries were crisp, but, they came with that ass batter that some people think is helpful. I had been told that the food was average and the waitresses were hot. I think they hd it backwards. The food was way better than the looks of the staff. I felt like I was at a bad strip club. Nothing mixes more naturally than Catholic School uniforms and tats, piercings and penciled in eye brows. However, the service was quick. They were as polite as you can expect from women who have to listen to losers engage them all day. They switched off on tables. There were about ten of them. The place seats about 200. It has a bar area and a table top area and a dining area. It has high ceilings. The floor plan is open. It has all manner of cheesy faux Celtic and sports decoration. They have a lot of flat screens showing sports. However, it's not as dark and depressing as most fake Irish pubs. It's a Chili's with the bare minimum of Irish fare (are Nachos really Irish?) and decor to differentiate it as something else. It's was packed. I don't really go in for this thing. Too generic and in this case sad. It's aimed at married men looking over the wall at what now qualifies as freedom and their single friends who haven't mastered the art of asking a girl out on a date. If you one of the aforementioned groups, and you don't mind or realize that these trailer trash girls are just there to help fleece you, line up for an adequate meal. At least you get that out of the exchange. And if you are lucky - Herpes and a step child!
