So while no Bobby Flay, I think they met their goal, hence the five stars. I had some excellent flank steak. Chips and salsa were really fresh and good, although it was more of a pico de gallo and so a little messy. We had the charbroiled jalapeños to start in. Those are pretty good. My daughter had the grilled chicken, Caesar, and enjoyed it. Overall, the atmosphere was a little fine dining, but still pretty chill. There was enough interesting Options on the menu that I would go back in the area.

We asked up front if they split the bill individually, they do not, but we were prepared with our own plan, so I encourage you to do the same. The Bullhouse was nice inside, a casual eatery with a Mexican leaning flare. Everything was enjoyable and everyone was happy with their drinks, appetizers and meals. They have a small vegan menu, which could be better, but our one friend was very happy to see that they had one at all. Service was smooth and the place had a nice energy. We were thankful for them taking good care of us and hosting our group. If you're in Chestertown it's an easy recommendation to make. Enjoy!

Due to my previous experience here, when my friend asked me to come to a book club supper here I…read morewas extremely reluctant, but it was a group event and I didn't want to create a fuss. On an extremely frigid Saturday evening we arrived for our 5:30 reservation at 5:28. One person was 10 minutes late and though tables were empty, we could not be seated until our party was complete. We ordered and our drinks arrived quickly. I had ordered peach tea and was surprised mine arrived in a bottle. Soon, our food arrived. I was glad because I was beside the window an it was quite drafty. The dining area isn't particularly large and I assume this is why the service is so highly focused on turning over tables as quickly as possible. It bears mentioning here that due to the weather half the tables were empty this night. My tuna steak was cool, and the sear was a little light for my taste. I ordered the house made blue cheese dressing which was bland. Think sour cream with blue cheese crumbles in it. The salad had plentiful greens and veggies which was lovely. The Chloe fries which I was told was their best dish was home fries with some creamy type of perhaps ricotta or cottage cheese and some bacon crumbles. I would've given the food a 3 star review if not for the service... we were presented with the bill shortly after we finished our entrees and while we all still had other food to finish. Once the bill was paid we were continuing our conversation and sipping our drinks when the hostess came to ask if we needed anything else and also let us know they needed our table for a large party they were expecting. I wished I could've changed the tip I had left and after this experience I absolutely will not be back.

Cloudy, rainy, foggy, not the best day to be traveling to the Adirondacks when the Fall colors are…read moreat their peak. Surprisingly enough, there was a spot along the Northway just outside of Warrensburg that still managed to show off its rainbow sherbet of colors. Our objective, however, was to meet my sister in Chestertown for dinner at O. P. Fredricks. Arriving at 4 PM when they opened there were already a few people in the bar and in the dining room. They don't take reservations, so it was wise to arrive early. By 4:30 there were people waiting for a table. The atmosphere inside is truly Adirondack with hewn wood beams and paneling. Before I forget, the chairs are really comfortable. The menu was surprisingly, large. In addition to the evening's specials, which included three entrées, there were a dozen shareable appetizers (emphasis on "shareable"), four salads, 19 regular entrées (all accompanied by a fresh salad and bread [we never received any bread, but I didn't see it served to other tables either]), four steaks, at least a dozen different handheld sandwiches, quesadillas, and a kids' menu. There is a full bar including a half dozen drafts. Our beverages to start were a Wolf Hollow draft Camp Out Stout ($8), a Saranac Ginger Beer ($4), and a glass of Mondavi Chardonnay ($7). The portion size of the Baked Brie ($11) was truly shareable. The brie was warmed without being runny, served on top of a tasty garlic bread made from pressed hamburger bun slices, and topped with a melba sauce. It was so delicious! Just like the appetizers, entrée portions are large. We each took half of ours home. My sister was very pleased with her Seafood Stuffed Portobello ($26) - the stuffed portobello was broiled and topped with shrimp scampi and, as all of our entrées, served over the house rice pilaf. My wife's Scallops Rockefeller ($31.95) included sautéed scallops (oddly on one side only), mushrooms, chopped bacon, and baby spinach, finished with an anisette flambé, and served over the previously mentioned rice pilaf. Another tasty dish. My choice was their Jambalaya ($28). It was a delicious combination of sautéed chicken, shrimp, andouille sausage, mixed peppers, onions, and diced tomatoes mixed with the ubiquitous rice pilaf. It had just the right amount of spiciness for my taste to make it a thoroughly enjoyable meal. To wrap things up, we shared the Maple Bread Pudding ($7) with cups of coffee ($3 each). The bread pudding was moist with just enough maple flavor to satisfy a sweet craving. Service throughout was very attentive and friendly. Did I mention how comfortable the chairs are? And yes, their rice pilaf does go very well with everything. We're looking forward to a future visit. UPDATE: The Jambalaya is soooo good the 2nd day, I suggest you order it as takeout to eat the following day. And they are even nice enough to have removed the tails from the shrimp before the dish is served.

It's not good to compare if it's probably not going to be the same, and you really want the other one. But I took the risk and was very pleased. The cheesecake was light and the lemon topping was tart. Not the same, but different and still delicious. I'll definitely have it again.

No gas either, so gas up when you can. Went into the bar area (separate doors for bar and restaurant) and they had no taps but three different IPA's in cans. They had the usual Bud/Bud light as well. We were told the turkey is cooked and sliced here, so we got the turkey club. Also ordered the Papa Bear burger (mama is 4 oz and $1 less). Lemme tell ya, that was one of the best burgers I've had. Just naturally delicious, nothing special on it, just a really good burger. We got the twice over when we walked in, but it's a local bar so maybe we were a friend. The bar maid was very friendly and speaking of that, I walked out without my food and a patron ran out with my takeout box. The bathrooms were clean and smelled good.

I say this merely because if you think food from a gas station is beneath you, subpar or otherwise "above it" you're missing out my friend. The interior of the store is dated and have very little in the way of seating to eat your food, when I first entered there was one table for 4 and one side had boxes stacked on top of it. So there really isn't much to look at I suppose. The service was great, the young woman behind the counter took our order and immediately set to task all while entertaining questions about their establishment and its roots. Overall I would give her a 5 star rating. On to the better part. My wife enjoyed a pulled pork meal which she was satisfied with, the only thing to note was there wasn't a huge Smokey flavor with the meat. It wasn't unnoticeable but it wasn't there enough to say it was smoked enough. The Mac and cheese that came with it was creamy and delicious as you would expect from a Mac and cheese but lacked any spice. The coleslaw again was less than remarkable but still well put together and tasted fresh, just very mayo heavy. My meal consisted of the Jeremiah Johnson. The brisket was cooked to absolute perfection, the fat cap appeared to be trimmed to perfection and had a beautiful deep bark with a light smoke ring. The mashed potatoes were made fresh as was the gravy (albeit a bit greasy for me) it was still phenomenal. The Mushrooms and onions were a great addition and well caramelized. The only real thing to note is when you think of this dish as BBQ, You would expect sauce rather than gravy, albeit it was greasy, it was still good and tied the dish together well. I would suggest getting BBQ sauce and asking to have the gravy kept from the dish if possible or placed on the side to have a feel for what I am talking about and make your own decision! Overall I would definitely say for a NE establishment this was still a solid BBQ choice!
