Country bowl
Trisha D.

Its always a hit or miss here. I got a italian beef . The bun was hard like stale. Not enough beef on it. When i say that its bad because i usually take some off. Im sorry should never have a stale bun for any sandwiches why serve that. Even dipping it in extra au just didn't help. The fries were different then last time too. Didn't care for them. I really want to like them

inside was clean
Sue P.

Interesting concept. I had loaded baked potato - son had one of their bowls. Potato was undercooked and a bit hard - cheese sauce was flavorless. Bowl came with fries and instead of a bowl felt more like loaded fries. Beef patty tasted odd. Would most likely would give it another go,

Skirt Steak Sandwich

I got the skirt steak sandwich and a side of mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were a little disappointing. Tasted like a box mix and could have used some salt, BUT THE SKIRT STEAK omg it was so good i highly recommend it. I wish I lived closer cause I would if I would get it often.

A Salad, balsamic vinegar, with side of chicken kabab
Julian B.

Excellent quality real food here. Highly recommend the A Salad with balsamic vinegar and a chicken kabab side, you can't go wrong! Will be back!!

The Country Bowl, but I swapped out the fries for mashed potatoes.  YUM!
Fred M.

Well, I shot my diet to hell. I guess it should not come as a surprise to me - eating at a place called Meat and Potato. But I am a meat and potato kinda guy, so I had to try it. And I'm so glad I did! I had the country bowl, which was pot roast, gravy, crispy onions, and shredded parmesan. On the menu, it is served over a bed of fries, but I tweaked it, and had them serve it over mashed potatoes. I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend swapping out the fries for mashed potatoes. This is a fast-food restaurant, but it is high-quality food. The restaurant was clean, and service was fast and friendly. I will definitely be back (I'll just have to make sure I hit the gym afterwards).

Worst gyros I have ever had in my life. Meat is thick chunks of cubes. Then the sauce was just heavily scooped on top. This gyros was completely inedible and met the trash can. Called the shop to voice my displeasure and I was offered a replacement, I told them I will pass as I don't trust food after a complaint. Highly recommend not eating here if a basic gyros cannot be made.

Gyro tasty with lots of meat
Amanda G.

Staff was fabulous, friendly and just good. Food was tasty and good portions. The fries were fresh. Friends first time. He enjoyed it and said he will go back. We had a gyro , and a beef sandwich chili cheese fries and reg fries.

I had the hotdog

Food was good. Value was not good. Ordered $7.99 meat loaf special and it was 80% mashed potatoes and 20% meat. Not worth it

Honestly nothing bad to say about the food and most of the experience. It is price well and has a…read morevery tasty menu. The reason for this is our last two visits, Judging my mother for what she ordered and gossiping with drunks at the bar loudly enough that we can hear is absurdly rude. Sorry its a slow night but maybe don't judge a vegetarian for not loving bacon and mocking them to other customers. Its just a bad showing. We come here often, so to be treated like that is heartbreaking. Now, my mom can't be certain they haven't been gossiping about her pretty simple order, a wrap with no meat, the entire time. Also just turn off the depressing news on the tv's its obnoxious when we are sitting down and just trying to have a good time. Put on a fun tv show, the game, something else.

The spaghetti dinner I chose came with a side salad and 1000 Island dressing was the thickest I've ever seen in a long time! The portion was so large I went home with half of it. Should I be concerned that we keep getting bothered by a fly on our table? My wife ordered the taco salad and accidentally ordered extra lettuce and boy did they add lettuce! Lol. The one thing I noticed was it was missing music in the background, a jukebox or something playing would've been better! We realized we were running late for an appointment and had to run out of there otherwise we would've enjoyed the restaurant more! To no fault of their own. I look forward to seeing us there again! Trying a burger or something else!

Well I've been to Little Chef for breakfast and never been too disappointed or amazed just a decent…read morebreakfast at a decent price and kinda love the charm of this locally owned spot that's been around forever. So I decided to try it for lunch and am torn between 3-4 stars. I got the breaded veal diner/dinner type special, posted on the board behind the counter seating. $14. And it came with bean or cream of potato soup. The veal was not a whole piece of veal but a ground concoction that seemed like something from the grocery frozen food section. Not awful but not awesome. Then again this is a little diner so should I expect chef food? It is called Little Chef. Undecided. It was served hot and crisp which was good because the gravy and mashed taters were definitely overwhelming the texture and flavor of the meal. The gravy was ok but a little different taste than any gravy I've ever had. Definitely not homemade and was very strong flavored. I think if it had some beans or a small salad included with this would have been happier. I got hot tea which was a challenge as the water spilled all over from the tea pot and I was told to put my hand on the top to avoid that, but then your finger got a little bit of burn from the hot metal. The soup was good and I took it home. The service was fine, absolutely no issues there and since it wasn't too busy, as expected. I know everyone's prices everywhere have gone up, but I just can't justify what I paid for what I got. Again not sure what expectations should be in this economy or where to put the extra minus star for the state of restaurants and value, but this was just a bit under expectations.

The food is solid and plentiful. Has a very homey feel and the staff is friendly as can be! The…read moreprices are reasonable as well! I will visit again for sure!
