| - If adjusted for a cheap eats home cooking type place, then 5 stars; but if you want fine dining, this is not the place. We are not local (Detroit) and were just looking for a quick meal. This place surpassed our expectations.
Service: we had limited time and told our server. Boy, did she hustle. We never felt rushed, but never once had to wait for anything. Food came in order and quickly, timed better than a fine dining establishment. Kitchen accommodated her timing.
Price/Portions: this place is beyond reasonable; its flat out cheap. Very cheap. Portions are very big. Big portions, plus cheap prices, often concerns me re: quality. They do cut corners, but not on the important stuff.
Food: Good. Very good for cheap eats. Chili just great. Soup home-made; bit bland, but tasty. Dinner salads - pre-portioned lettuce on plate with thick dressing in a pre-portioned cup. Skip that.
Pasta - daughter liked huge portion of spaghetti. Runny thin sauce, but has 3 home made big meatballs. Lots of breading, but tasty. Despite appearances, it was good. Clearly home made sauce - they need lessons on making a thick marinara.
Wiener schnitzel - breading way too thick, but this is pretty close, for this type of place. Good mashed, but green beans clearly canned and gross.
Prime rib - cooked to order, so I've never had it this way. Obviously roasted earlier, then brought up to temperature. My medium rare, was in fact, and shockingly for an end piece, just a bit above medium rare. I got the bone, and it was a bit fatty, but the burnt outer skin was simply delicious. 15 oz portion was more like 25+ oz.
Loaded baked potato - pre-cooked and dried out. Corn was canned, but I like canned cord, so guilty pleasure here.
Son ordered chili cheddar fries. Menu says it's a huge plate, but this is a massively huge plate. Plus cheap. Chili is good (supra), cheese is always good, and the fries are obviously hand cut on site, so taste like that. I happen not to like fresh hand cut fries, but if you do, they have them. Processed brine soaked fries always taste better and get crispier. But unhealthy.
Coconut cream pie: before you ask, only my 9 year old daughter finished her huge pasta plate. We put at least 50% of everything else into cooler in car to take home. Then 4 of us split just 1 piece. Clearly homemade. Crust is perfect for a cream pie. Filling - cut corner here; too much whipped cream mixed in. It's more like a dense coconut flavored whipped cream pie.
I will be in Middlefield from Detroit next year. I will go there again. Anxiously.
