| - Wow. This place is indeed eccentric! What a fun conglomerate of umm..collectibles..are on the walls here!
The restaurant consists of several themed areas, which is very fun and original.
The menu is written like Moby Dick; extremely lengthy, dull, and slightly anti climatic. However, the humor woven throughout the gazillions of menu items was a pleasant surprise.
Typically I stay away from restaurants that have more than 20-25 items on their menu. Over my lengthy and frequent curriculum of eating out, I found I prefer places that do one thing really well, over restaurants that do 90 things mediocre. I digress.
We ordered a reuben sandwich, which was mostly enjoyed by my husband. The coleslaw has a spice or herb in its list of ingredients we could not quite place. It wasnt bad, it was just very unusual-so beware if you are expecting a creamy, sweet slaw.
I ordered the homemade corned beef chaos hash. It was well seasoned, perhaps slightly heavy on the garlic. The only slight qualm I had was the consistency, which was on the mushy side.
On several places throughout the restaurant, the waitresses are refered to as wenches by the owner.. And truthfully, when we visited they were definately not the bubbly, friendly kind. Pretty ironic.
All in all a good place to eat, it did not blow me away, but for the price (most items under $10.00), and its large portions you cannot really go wrong.
I will be back to town in a few weeks, i'll probably try out something entirely different. They have a section on their menu devoted to Italian fare. I read that the recipes come from a restaurant in NY, which is pretty cool.
