I've always wanted to try fried Oreos and Twinkies and finally had the chance to try them here recently. I'm more of a Twinkie person and thought I would just absolutely love the fried Twinkies but they were just too mushy in texture and lacking in flavor for my taste buds. I definitely like the fried Oreos better which were crunchy and more flavorful. Overall though they were just A-OK.
I wish they could re-do the food area for a more comfortable food experience as there are tall tables for standing at only and if they are taken the only other place to eat inside the casino would be at the slot machines. So not comfortable. Plus you need a table to catch all the powder that falls off as you take bites from your fried treats - my new dress I had just gotten dry cleaned was stained because of that. (We came here after eating dinner at Oscar's Steakhouse nearby.) Btw the chairs are worn-out and filthy! It is definitely an experience eating at Mermaid's that's for sure :p
