| - Holstein Kitchen is pretty great. My first visit was on a weekday for lunch, with my husband.
If this place served sweet tea and Dr. Pepper, I'd swear I was in Texas.
We started with fried green tomatoes; they were garnished with pickled vidalia onions, pimentos, and (what I think was) a remoulade, and served on a bed of mixed greens; they were just as good as any fried green tomatoes we've had in TX. Then we shared the macaroni and cheese and fried chicken sandwich w/ fries, both of which were great. I can't say it's THE BEST mac & cheese I've ever had, but I've definitely had worse. The chicken sandwich was outstanding; I don't think I've ever had such juicy, white-meat chicken. And then there's dessert -- they only had two to choose from, and they were half-price (not certain why; maybe just because it was lunch?), so we tried both. The key lime pie was lighter and fluffier than most, with a graham cracker crust. Loved it. The peach cobbler was served warm, but without ice cream; it was still quite good.
Can't wait to go back to try fish fry on a Friday and breakfast on a weekend.
