| - A good view of the river and good food as well.
Time for our traditional Saturday lunch and this time I chose J Peters over in Mount Holly. J Peters is a regional chain mainly in upstate South Carolina but with an outpost in North Carolina as well.
Picked up my wife at Northlake Mall and from there, it's about a 15 minute drive down I-485, I-85 and Exit 27. Easy to get too.
Right on the banks of the Catawba with the river on one side and a small channel inlet on the other. Building looks relatively new and inside is very neat with clean architectural lines pleasant blend of golds with blacks and grays. Plenty of glass providing great view of the water.
Walked in and were seated immediately at a high top with a view of the river on one side and down channel on the other.
Our server was excellent and made for a great visit.
We both order tea, In my wife's case, it was unsweetened but with artificial sweetener on the side. Mine was a half and half blend that came out perfect.
We both started with a soup course. I ordered a Sea Crab Soup that was nice and hot and perfect. On the other hand, my wife ordered the Potato Soup and it came out luke warm at best. Our server offered to take it back and heat it up but when it came out, not much better if at all.
For her entree, my wife decided on the Black and Bleu Salad which she deemed as perfect. Portion size was immense , and looking at it, looks like they made it Pittsburgh style with Fries on Top. Look carefully and you'll see in the photos, she decked out in here Steeler gear.
I went with the Flounder Sandwich with a side of Fries. The Flounder was perfect. Nice and flaky. Tartar Sauce was mild which was good and they also gave you a slice of lemon which made it perfect. Great texture and taste all around.
Problem was with the Fries. Crispy on the outside and under cooked in the middle. Need to drop the temperature back a couple of degrees and extend cooking time yielding a more uniform product.
Great atmosphere and with the large screen TV's, would be a great place to watch and upcoming game.
Even better, it's going to be a great place to come back too when the weather warms up although that did not seem to deter the Great Blue Heron who was right off the deck as you walked out.
