| - I have to disagree with what the previous reviews said, although it hasn't been reviewed in almost a year and a half.
Don's Pomeroy House was a stop between Chicago and Philadelphia for us. We were looking for a good non-chain restaurant, and saw this on Yelp. It is a large place, with a pub in the downstairs, and a more upscale restaurant upstairs. Being that we wanted to be in and out relatively quickly, and were wearing jeans and sneakers, we went to the pub.
The service was okay, but the food was absolutely horrible. I had the 'best' of the bunch, with three sliders. They weren't bad, but one reason was they came out medium to medium-rare, just how I like them, although I never specified, so they should have come out medium-well. The toppings did not look appetizing, including the iceberg lettuce that really should have been romaine, and the tomatoes that were some of the palest I have ever seen
My mother got a calamari dish that not only had no flavor whatsoever, but the calamari were overcooked and the dish was topped with a plethora of Kraft Parmesan cheese, which not only looked cheap, it ruined the dish.
My sister had bacon-wrapped shrimp in a curry sauce, which seemed interesting when she ordered it. It was even more interesting when she received it, and not in a good way. The shrimp were deep-fried rather than grilled, and the curry sauce had a very subtle curry flavor that could barely be distinguished by the overpowering oil and sugar taste in the rest of it. I love curry, I love bacon, and I love shrimp, and I couldn't have more than a bite of the dish.
All in all, I would not go back. I would rather go to Olive Garden before going here, and I hate Olive Garden.
