Mediocrity done well. It could be that I had an excellent dinner the night before that affects…read morethis, but I was prepared to not be amazed. The place gives the average tavern vibe, but the menu suggests otherwise. The service is very friendly and attentive. The rolls and butter provided are nothing special. You get the same average rolls at any chain or similar establishment. The glass holding my water did not work with my straw. After the first drink, the straw sunk down and you really could not use it without using your fingers to pull the straw out. House salad with blue cheese dressing. I found no blue cheese, and it was the strangest tasting blue cheese dressing I have ever had. I believe this dressing isn't made inhouse. Honey Glazed Salmon over crab and asparagus risotto. The salmon could have had more flavor to it, and the risotto's sweetness got old the more you ate. Finally, I was sick of it and struggled to eat the risotto. As I talked with the others in my party, no one was overwhelmed with their food. You do not have to be overwhelmed but at least be worth paying for. For average dishes, they can be overpriced. Comparing to other places I've recently visited, I do not believe I would visit here again if I have a choice.

Still has that beer taste but pretty light 5.5/10 Smokehouse chili - actually one of the best chili! It's on the sweeter side but has a kick and is very yummy! 8/10 Pulled pork - very good, very juicy and tender! No significant flavor stands out but also not bland at all 8/10 Brisket - unfortunately this one was pretty dry. Maybe other times they're better since our friend mentioned it was drier than normal when they go and it was missing the fat on top too so we got very lean pieces 4/10 Ribs rack - pretty tender and good flavor overall! Not incredibly juicy but not dry too 6/10 Macaroni and cheese - eh 3/10 Garlic Parmesan French fries - nothing special here either 4/10 French fries - also eh I guess the flavoring in the garlic parm did make it better and thus more boring 3/10 Corn bread - prob best corn bread! Sweet and moist 7/10

We had lunch here today…read more My wife ordered a Ruben, I ordered a Bollinger burger topped with pulled pork and onion rings. We also ordered one Diet Coke and one unsweetened iced tea. My wife graded the Reuben five stars. She said it was very tasty and she enjoyed the crispy toasted bread. I can only give my burger with toppings three Stars. The pulled pork was OK, not as smoky or flavorful as I like. The burger was well done... Although I might've been able to ask for it with a different level of doneness? The coleslaw was OK, but I prefer it not so watery. The potato chips were excellent. The service was excellent, prompt and thorough. The meals were served on metal cooking sheets with parchment paper liners. Interesting plating method but the cold metal cooking sheets soon made the hot sandwiches cold too. Would have been better if the metal cooking sheets were pre-warmed up. Cost of meal was $42 + gratuity

My only complaint is the cut of chicken isn't super conducive to a "cheesesteak" type of sandwich; I'd take a bite and it wouldn't break off, thus pulling a larger piece of hot chicken out & burning my chin. Hubs had the shrimp tacos and he couldn't stop raving about them.

Good kids cup with fun straws for the little kids. Ask the right questions. They have a wide and delicious menu with omelettes and breakfasts that is delicious. The prices are excellent. Very, very worth the price. This is a fun family atmosphere, it's like a giant country kitchen sort of dining room room. They have small booths. They have big tables. They got a nice fireplace. I have to imagine that place is like Cracker Barrel expired to be like this. Not so much but it's meaningful stuff. I loved the brisket omelette. My little split a cookies and cream on it. They loved it. They cleared their plates quick quickly. She got apple crisp waffles, a.k.a. pancakes with abs, according to my little brother, my 14-year-old says five out of five stars I would go here again. My youngest says 10 out of five stars. My sister-in-law says that her omelette was fantastic. Epic breakfast in the middle of a trip.

Our wait staff checked up on us routinely to make sure we had enough to eat and drink. I looked at the rest of the menu and a number of items caught my eye. The prices were also very reasonable. Will definitely be back. I was told that they also cater. I am guessing food and pricing would be top notch.

For appetizers we got the loaded nachos, which are really good and made with a lighter, flakier tortilla chip than most are used to. The menu is a lot slimmer than many restaurants, but there is something there for most everyone. I had a Salmon Strawberry salad, which I highly recommend and which all who tried it recommend. It's big, so be ready for it. As a side I got risotto, which didn't taste bad, but was more like cheesy rice, not risotto. If you've had good risotto you know what I mean. The burgers were very popular, and the mango bourbon pork chop was very tasty. Crab cake sandwich was okay, but like all too many crab cakes I've had in the past, heavy on bread and light on good size crab chunks. They serve their drinks in plastic disposable cups, which is one thing I hate in any restaurant that is above Chipotle or similar level. The cups spill more easily, and frankly it's just not as pleasant a drinking experience. Probably doesn't bother others as much as it does me, but so be it. The server was very friendlym patient and knowledgable.

The Hillside Inn is a roadhouse that looks more like a salvage yard than restaurant, but if you're…read morein the mood for pan-fried chicken and beer, this is the place to go. Locals have been patronizing this place for decades, which is good, because they don't advertise at all. Heck, they don't even trim the vines off their weather-beaten sign. In fact, you'll only discover this place if someone takes you there, forces you out of the car, and at gunpoint, makes you go inside. Otherwise, you'd never find it, let alone try it. They have beer in bottles and cans, no drafts, thank you. And if you're impatient, don't order the chicken. Nothing's cooked ahead, so it takes a little time to prepare, about 2 or 3 beers worth, I'd say. Back in the kitchen, they cook up 8 servings of chicken at a time in a big cast iron skillet. And when your meal arrives, you get a platter full of hot, crispy, oh-so-bad-for-you fried chicken - half a chicken - with two sides for just $9.95. This is the kind of place that Anthony Bourdain might like, but Guy Fieri would love.

Visited Shula's for the first time. It is a very nice restaurant specializing in fresh seafood…read more It's a nice place for a date night, birthday or anniversary. Service was excellent. Food came out at just the right pace between courses. Ambience was only "ok"... I did notice that things looked a bit worn. And one thing that bothered me was that there were ceiling tiles that were badly water stained and sagging... nothing active, but it was very unsightly. Given that they are very easy to replace, leaving them there just made the place feel less "special evening" ambience to more like "a diner" which is a shame for a place i expected to be more classy. As for the food we had lots of positives to say. We tried the crab bisque appetizer which was thick and creamy with just the right amount of seasoning and crab meat. The portion for a first course was generous. We also got the steamed mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were cooked perfectly. They were plump, tender and flavorful the sauce was delicious. Be sure to ask for extra bread to soak up some of the broth and juices. The side salads were likewise generous portions, fresh and crisp. Very happy! The main courses come with just one side. I got the fried seafood platter with hushpuppies and my wife got the stuffed flounder with onion rings. The fried platter came with flounder, shrimp and oysters, with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. All were coated in a lightly seasoned breading that was crisp. Not overly thick. The hushpuppies, which other reviewers said were outstanding, I found to be on the sweet side. Crisp, yes, but overall just ok...I prefer mine more savory than sweet. The stuffed flounder was also very well done. Delicious. The flounder was cooked just right. Flaky and moist. The onion rings were thick cut, beer batter dipped. They were hot and crisp and the portion like everything else here was generous. In the end we did need a box to bring some of our entrees home. We left very satisfied. So I was pretty satisfied with the food and the service. Now if they could just do something to get the dining room as upscale as the food and service this would be an outstanding dining experience... thus only four stars instead of five.
