Landmark Restaurant Diner

Featured on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives"                      Charlotte, NC

The place was busy, we thought that was a good indication...

The service was slow, our server was not that familiar with the menu, and she did not know what Guy ordered on Triple D.

From what we had heard, the restaurant is operated by Greeks, so I thought the Greek platter would be a safe bet.  It was rather mediocre and the gyro was not fresh -- it was pre-packaged, heated, and put on the plate.  The portion size was rather generous, but again, the food was not great.  The tzatziki saved the day, it was was quite nom!

The place was busy and featured on Triple D, so they must be doing something right, we did not see it.  Overall, I'll have to give Landmark a Goat.
