I was headed to the Caribbean restaurant in the plaza but it wasn't opened . Perhaps they decided to close after thanksgiving . This led to me looking to eat something different in the plaza . I didn't want to go any further, because it was already after 3 pm and I hadn't eaten lunch .
I've already eaten at Firehouse sub many times and I definitely didn't want Dunkin. Therefore , I opted to try something new to me . This is when I discovered J Baffalo House. Yelp actually had the restaurant name backwards according to the signage on the building . This caused a bug of confusion when I began to write my review, but I digress.
The spot looked like a typical fast food Chinese chain restaurant, but the promotional photos on the front window were pictures of gyros, chicken wings and catfish. I wasn't sure what I wanted but at this point my mind was on a gyro or catfish .
As you can see from my picture of the front counter they were practicing social distancing with the plastic wrapped around the front and some type of glass enclosure. It didn't look aesthetically pleasing. However, I understand the reasoning behind the hideousness and looked past it. I went with a catfish dinner , by which came with cole slaw , fries and two slices of white bread . The bread was your basic sandwich bread . It wasn't toasted , grilled , buttered or anything of the such. I was given about two table spoons of cole slaw and I could have opted out . It was flavorless and nearly dry. The fish was ok . I had two decent sizes of catfish . It was shamefully fried . It wasn't over seasoned and it was piping hot when I got it . It was literally made to order .
J Baffalo's House came in with the deal breaker as I had to use the bathroom. I walked through the door and the stench from the urine smell was awful ! I had to potty so badly I couldn't hold it any longer . This upset me because normally I wouldn't use the bathroom after seeing such a thing . I mean to see it and smell it, is to know how I felt . Lord Jesus !! You may not be able to see the urine on the floor puddling around the toilet in the photos , but I had to splash splash over there to pee. I never sit on public toilets , if that's what you're thinking . Child please , "no hebee gee bees's " for me . Thank goodness my purse was a backpack bag , because I wasn't going to lay it down anywhere. It was so gross in there I didn't wash my hands . You heard me ! Why ? My hands were cleaner than the faucet and everything else . I got out of there as fast as possible. I was so turned off by that I wanted a refund .
As I proceeded to my car , the only thing I found thing of was my antibacterial wipes . Yes, I carry them everywhere. You bet your bottom dollar I used two of them . I looked at my food and it didn't look like the bathroom, but you know what ? It was a deal breaker for me . Let me tell you why . With Covid there aren't many patrons typically hanging out in restaurants. Therefore , who in the world left the bathroom in the condition? The floor was filthy , the sink and mirror looked nasty . The toilet hadn't been cleaned since 1999. Oh no ! if the bathroom looks like that , my curiosity went wild behind the counter and in the kitchen.
