| - I've been to the Double Wide several times - it definitely has it's pluses, but also has minuses (hence, the middle of the road rating).
Pluses:
The cornbread: It's good. It has a sugary crust on it that is a delightful surprise. I love corn bread and the Double Wide has gooood cornbread!
The drinks: Fantastic, in general. The beer selection is great and they will bring you a sample of anything they have on tap to make sure you like it before you order a full draft. The mixed drinks are generally pretty good too. They have a great mixed drink/cocktail menu that has a lot of fun stuff on it. That said, I've been there for brunch and what they serve as their bellini is NOT a bellini, which is really disappointing.
The seating: It's big. You likely won't have to wait for a table. The outdoor seating is awesome when the weather is nice. It's a good place to watch sports (hockey!) because they have two huge TVs in the dining room and several other smaller ones.
Minuses:
The service: I've never had great service there. It's always slow and spotty. So frustrating.
The food: It's hit or miss, really. It's a shame because the menu is super varied and has a ton of options for everyone - carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free, etc. It's just NOT consistent. I've had really good food there, but I've also had really bad food there. I've had great pulled pork and horrible ribs. Great fries one time, crappy, cold fries the next. But the cornbread! The cornbread is always good!
Sooo. Bottom line: I never go out of my way to go to the Double Wide, but it's a good place to go to if I want to watch a hockey game w/ a group of people or every place else is packed.
