| - One of the most bland and mediocre meals I have ever had. Had dinner here last Thursday. Wanting to check out the new spot in Lakewood.
I had the Pork Chops w/ Brussel Sprouts (they have some clever name on the actual menu but I cannot remember it) and I don't think they even used salt for cooking with as neither the pork chops, nor the brussel sprouts has any kind of seasoning I could tell. Very bland tasting. The pork chops themselves were cooked well (meaning they weren't under cooked or burnt), but I've cooked better at home, which is not what you want to think when paying the prices they ask for. They just did not have much flavor. And what I found insulting was that the apple sauce side it was served with, seemed to just be Mott's apple sauce scooped onto the plate with some cinnamon sprinkled on it.
The brussel sprouts themselves, again, seemed to be cooked pretty good, just steamed and put on the plate, but again I don't think even salt was at all used in the cooking or afterwards. Just steamed brussel sprouts. Not at all cooked with the bacon they were served with, which I am almost certain were just bacon bits for salads, sprinkled on it, though to their credit at least they used Real Bacon Bits instead of the imitation stuff.
The fries were good and the meatball appetizer I had was pretty good and probably best part of the meal.
While the prices were not high, they were for the quality of the meal I ate. Judging from the other reviews it looks like I should stick to their burgers and not their entrees.
The service was good, no complaints there. But there is a lot of much better experiences to find in this great city of Lakewood and if they continue with quality of a meal I had, they will meet the same fate World of Beer did.
