Never judge how good a restaurant is by the number of empty chairs you see
I had always thought the opposite, i.e. restaurants that can readily seat you during peak hours were probably pretty shady. Bluephies absolutely proved me wrong.
We had set out going to a different restaurant about a quarter of a mile down the road. The wait at that place was an hour and a half and we were tired and starving. My friend then suggested Bluephies since they always have immediate seating. Given that I was tired and hungry, I shrugged my shoulders and followed her to Bluephies. I was expecting a less than stellar experience but boy was I wrong.
We were indeed seated immediately and I noticed at least four open booths as we walked to our booth. Our waitress was great and immediately brought out their vast menu. She suggested the zucchini fries for appetizers. Get the zucchini fries. The onion dip provided a sweet contrast to the perfectly breaded fries. She then brought three rolls for the table. The other two did not want to indulge in bread so I ate them all. They were delicious.
Bluephies is also a vegetarian haven. Plenty of non-meat items and their meat items can be made vegetarian. I got the sundried tomato pasta and it completely hit the spot. My friends had the fish tacos and the bang bang shrimp. Both really liked their meals. The bang bang shrimp is apparently a must try. Too bad we were too full to indulge in dessert. They have a dessert showcase as soon as you walk in and it most certainly makes you want to order dessert before the meal.
I ended up eating a third of the zucchini fries, three good sized rolls and my entire dinner. AND I wished I had room for more. The food was just really good. I would visit Bluephies again. Great food with lots of great options, great drinks and great service. What is NOT to love!
