Cool Hand Dukes - New Milford, CT

Cool Hand Dukes is situated on the lovely street next to the old train station in New Milford.  I think it used to be a German Restaurant.  As you walk in the front door there are 2 or 3 steps to walk down.  It looks nice enough inside.  There are some booths and a few tables in a fairly open space. 

We were seated quickly and given the menus.  Okay, this is where I get a little funky.  I really don't like when restaurants try to make up cute and utterly ridiculous names for their food.  No one wants to say your stupid names for food.  The items were also numbered, which made it a little better, but still very stupid.  Lee ordered a #2 Odd or Even? ODD!  Yes, that is the name! It's a beef burger, cheddar, bacon, sauteed onion with dukes sauce.  Dukes sauce is very spicy, but the waitress failed to tell Lee this fact.
I ordered... #14 Very Dangerous...You Go First.  Just dumb!!  It's a beef burger, swiss, sauteed mushrooms, spinach, horseradish remoulade.  I asked for no spinach (not allowed to eat) and sauce on the side.  Lee had a tough time getting through his burger, because he isn't a fan of anything spicy.  I wasn't thrilled, because the bun was very greasy. Not a yummy buttery greasy, a yucky greasy. It almost tasted like the grill wasn't very clean.  The tater tots couldn't even make up for the icky bun.

There were at least four waitresses working and it took forever to get our check, because not one of them were around.  It was very strange.  Occasionally, we would see the bartender come in and out from the back and then a waitress in and out from the back, but mostly not on the floor.  Not a very good first impression.
