| - I decided to go in here last night while I was waiting for the pizza I ordered for my husband from Augies. Its been a long time since I've been in this area since moving to Streetsboro. I was surprised by the changes and all the new restaurants to the area.
I hadn't read any of the previous reviews prior to going. I had no idea that it was Suds and Sliders. I like to judge places for myself. Everyone has different taste. You say tomato and I say tomatoe.
My plan was to 1) see if they had something for me to order. Since I'm on a low carb diet, pizza doesn't seem logical and throwing out good delicious pizza crust is just plain ludicrous. 2)Check the place out and see if it would be a Burger/Mex spot to bring my husband (he isnt a fan of Red Robins or The Melt across the street). The decor and atmosphere is cool, plenty of space. However, I was shocked it wasn't packed for a Friday night, just a handful of patrons (literally) including myself. Guess everyone was at Red Robin or The Melt, LOL! I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly. The waitress handed me a menu for take out. After careful review I chose to get a quesadilla with chicken for the hubby. A safe choice for me to get him at this point. A chicken quesadilla is one of his go to at any restaurant. Even though they had chimichungas (the Mex side) on the menu, another favorite of his, I have good sense to know he likes them cooked and deep fried a certain way. If they were to screw that up I would never hear the end of it and never get him to go and sit down to order a burger. So better safe than sorry for now. For myself (low carber), the cubano sandwich. This is BBQ pulled pork (another hubby fav) ham, cheese, their version of cole slaw (a fancy spicy mayo dressing), aioli, pickles with your choice of bun(whole wheat, white, or pretzel). Mine of course, no bun. All sandwiches and burgers come with fries. I declinex on the fries (darn low carb diet) an was forced to order the only veggie they had on the menu, olive oil pan seared brussel sprouts with bacon and a whole lot of garlic. Let me just say this, I hated brussel sprouts as a child, I hate them as an adult and if I ever have kids they would never have to worry about me cooking that God awful vegetable. Now, if I return I'll order the sprouts (only if I'm still low carb) they were good but I would prefer grease ladened fries any day of the week. My sandwich minus the bun was bursting with flavor. Before, I said my husband is the pull pork expert but for me this was darn good and I would order it again. They give you a generous amount of pork and the coleslaw to me added an extra flair. I wish it had some pickled jalapenos. The jury is still out on the old man's opinion. I say go with friends after work for happy hour and enjoy drinks, funky burgers, sandwiches or some Mexican food.
One valuable piece of advice. Have gum, Binaca spray, Colgate wisp or those neat Listerine strips handy if you decide to order the garlic ladened sprouts as not to offend those your with. Or ask the chef to lighten up on the garlic. You'll thank me later for it. I'll probably never get this garlicky taste out my mouth!!!
Update 3/8/2014; The hubby liked the quesadilla and is willing to try their chimichungas.
