| - Me and the wife grabbed lunch there on Sunday on the way to a movie - my wife's chicken sandwich was the worst excuse for food we've ever seen/tasted in an eating establishment. The chicken patty was, at best, 1/4" thick including the breading! It was 60% breading, and twice as big as the bun, so it was sticking out everywhere. So, what I'm saying is, the actual meat part of the patty, might have been 1/8" thick. It gives the appearance of a lot of food, sticking out of the bun like that, until you realize how thin it is, and that it is mostly breading. Of course, it is not deep-fried from fresh, it is just the typical crappy frozen, heated up garbage. But somehow, I guess due to the lack of meat inside, it is completely tasteless. The cheese was not melted. I guarantee you, if you were blindfoled and tasted this, you could not tell what type of "meat" it was.
Her sandwich came with a side salad, which at this place means, dump a bunch of lettuce on the same plate as the sandwich, throw in a couple of tomato wedges and some carrot shavings, with a little cup of dressing on the side, and we're done.
I had a club sandwich - it was not as objectionable - I mean, how do you screw up deli meats, bacon, mayonnaise and sourdough bread? However, it was the 2nd blandest club sandwich I've ever had (worst in my life was Cheesecake Factory - no place will ever "top" that one). My side of cole slaw was cabbage and mayonnaise with no seasoning. Completely tasteless.
When I tell you that you would get more flavor and enjoyment from a $1.00 Mcdonalds McChicken than this $8 chicken sandwich abomination, I am not joking. My club sandwich had a bout half as much taste as a $4 footlong cold cut combo at Subway. Our bill was $25 for those two items, a glass of house wine and an iced tea. I felt as robbed as I would if I was mugged for the $25 outside the restaurant.
As for the rest of the place, typical sports bar/dive bar look, with the TV's, the dark wood, long bar, bla bla bla. That part is fine. It was clean and well-kept. But with food that bad, who cares.
I understand we were there on a Sunday in the Summer, totally off-season. But if you don't even care enough to serve mildly pleasing food because your revenue is so bad this time of year, just shut your doors for the summer and wait for on-season, buy the higher-grade products from your food supplier once your revenue picks up again in October, and TRY a little.
It's a shame - we've always loved going there in the spring and the fall, when old-town is buzzing, but I won't give anyone my on-season business if they don't care part of the year. I was never ga-ga over the food, but then mostly we'd go there for drinks in the sunshine out on the patio. But ya gotta give me at least edible fare.
Bye Bye, Blue Moose. I thought we knew ye.
