The obnoxious part of the Dinosaur is that they are constantly giving patrons the bum’s rush in order to turn the table. You can’t go there and have a nice meal, desert and a cup of coffee and some conversation. And it’s attitude on the PA system announcing to the entire restaurant that you are taking too much (in their opinion) time. They expect you to woof down the food, chug your drink and skeedatle ASAP and leave them 20% for being obnoxious.
I enjoyed the Dinosaur when it first opened in Syracuse in early 1990’s, when it went commercial, is when I stopped going.
By the way, all their recipes are in a cookbook that is readily available.
I have a Stewart’s nearby that has the least comfortable seats imaginable (similar to diamond plating); most people eat in their cars anyway (with the trays attached to the windows), but the few tables they have wouldn’t encourage you to linger.
