| - I'm leaving this place 5 stars not only because I can't leave 4.5, but also because I want so bad for this place to succeed and become even better. The place definitely has a great concept and great food. My complaints are small.
My wife and I decided to try the place despite mixed reviews. I've come to understand that sometimes reviews are just very wrong. We've visited "wonderful, awesome" places that turned out to be horrible. We've visited "not worth your time" places just to discover how wonderful those places actually are. I feel this place is closer to the later.
I ordered the pecan fried chicken and my wife had the meatloaf. I'm still thinking about the bone-out, crispy, sweet, maple-pecan topped chicken, and the mac and cheese is some of the best I've had (I stole a bite from my wife). I would visit the place just for a bowl of the creamy gooey cheesey awesomeness! For an appetizer we had fried green tomatoes, which were awesome and served on a bed and salad and cheese curds. I had peach cobbler for dessert, which was also very good, but I love peach cobbler so maybe I'm biased.
My only complaint is by ordering the tomatoes which were on a huge pile of greens while also ordering dinners that came with more salad, we had ridiculous piles of greens. I would have preferred to pick a side other than salad, even if it were just a good soup.
Overall, I would recommend the Holstein Kitchen. I love fish fries, so I will be sure to stop in some Friday night.
