Iggy's Internet Cafe
May 8, 2008So the wife and I intended to go to Pizza Hut for lunch Thursday. I didn't really want to go, but I gave it to the OK.
Not much of a pizza fan, but a buffet is a buffet. As we were driving there Iggy's Internet Cafe, right outside the base, caught our eye.
We walked inside and I was a little taken back.
The restaurant, formerly Subs N' Suds, formerly Deli Planet, was redone inside. Goodbye old tattered red booths, hello sleek look.
The walls were freshly painted and the vibe inside the place was different. The idea behind the cafe is to offer internet service to all takers. I didn't have my computer with me so I can't judge their capability in that department.
They also allow their customers to play XBOX, Playstation 2 and Nintendo Wii. They have computers that can be used for $5 an hour as well. There wasn't a sign posted stating the price, if any, to play the video games, and boy, did they have a lot of signs posted.
I really didn't know what to think after the overload of computer equipment inside the building.
You may not know that I used to work at Deli Planet. I was my first actual job. For four years I slaved over the hot stoves and worked as a waiter to some of the best customers the military could provide.
It sucked at times and other times, well I'll just say it helped make me who I am now.
I know the building. I've cleaned, scrubbed, mopped every corner of what is now Iggy's. So forcing myself to get used to the change will be a difficult obstacle.
Anyways, the food was good. You can really judge a place by the taste of their burger. They did a good job. It's hard to mess up a burger but it can also be easy to do.
The onion rings made the meal. They weren't homemade, but I'm not really a fan of homemade onion rings either.
The sweet tea wasn't really that sweet, but it had a good mixture of flavor.
The one thing about Iggy's that struck me as odd was their foot lockers. One of their back walls looked like a mid-stop at the railroad station.
Who needs a locker at a place like that. Maybe the up and coming airmen might need a locker for their bags when they cross the street from the base, but why would they want to stow it there for longer than an hour or two?
Overall, I liked Iggy's. The food selection is a little all over the place. They can do cheap breakfast, but they also have things like 80 cents candy bars and homemade, or what appeared to be, brownies.
