| - I have very mixed feelings about the Midway. On the one hand, the idea of a place serving all of the terribly unhealthy delights you can only usually find at a carnival or fair is a great idea. On the other hand, it could very well be frightening in it's execution.
The reality is, the Midway is neither of those extremes. The menu is pretty varied, but generally the sorts of things you would expect. Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Fries, funnel cakes, fried cheese, etc. There are also gyros, cheesesteaks, gyros, ruebens (also available in potato pancakes instead of bread), and on Fridays, fried fish.
I ordered a Midway burger, which was delicious. It looks like every picture you've ever seen of a Big Mac (which is good), as opposed to looking like any Big Mac you've ever actually eaten (which is bad). The fresh cut fries were good and plentiful, but nothing set them apart from those I've had elsewhere. Fried Cheese on a stick was just like you'd get at the fair, which is to say delicious and very bad for you at the same time. The real show stopper was the Haley O's, which are deep fried oreos with peanut butter on them. These were simply amazing.
On this particular visit, the staff seemed completely overwhelmed by the lunch rush, and a lot of the customers were pretty unhappy. This was my first visit so I can't say if this is the norm, and because of that I am not weighing that too heavily for this review.
If you are wanting to abuse yourself in one of the most delicious ways possible, I think you may want to pay the Midway a visit.
