| - The ginormous carrot cake. That's what comes to mind when I think of Mitchell's. It's huge. Split it between 4 people. If you like normal carrot cake though, this may not be for you, since it's particularly sweet and moist and tastes like actual cake, instead of y'know.. healthy. Instead of like carrots. 90% of my trips here have been just to split this slice of cake among several people. You MUST end your dinner with this, especially if you don't normally consider yourself a fan of carrot cake.
I have eaten here a couple of times outside of that, as well as other Mitchell's locations over the years. I will say that the restaurants are pretty consistent across that board as far as I've seen in terms of execution and friendly service (with the exception of one server here who I believe I saw still working here last week somehow - but it's good enough chances to be worth taking). It's nice to have a decently good chain to rely on if there's nothing else that strikes your fancy in a new city or middle of nowhere somewhere.
The seafood here is pretty good - always cooked well, fresh, and seasoned properly, but some entree portions I've seen are on the small side, and it's not very consistent across the menu. But again, there's good service from waiters who can probably make a good recommendation in terms of size.
If the seafood craving strikes on a tight budget, happy hour is a great deal. I believe it's weekdays 5-7pm here. Can stuff self for as low as $6 (ie 2 decently sized tacos + plate of fries) with pretty delicious food in the lounge/bar area, which is quite spacious and has comfortable booths along the wall.
