First of all, be warned that the menu you find in the restaurant is not the menu you'll find online. If you're like me and you plan out exactly what you'll order ahead of time by consulting the menu online, this is very frustrating and disappointing. Restaurants, please keep your online menu updated. It's false advertising, yo!
Secondly if you're like me and don't eat seafood but got dragged here by seafood eating buddies, be warned that your options are very limited. Very limited. You can order steak or your can order chicken. That is it. Two dishes. I suppose you could make a meal of a couple of the appetizers that don't have seafood (chicken wings or pulled pork nachos). I was planning on ordering the burger, but the burger was removed from the menu. And it's still listed online! Damn, burger frustrations! The chicken dish, also, is different than the one listed online.
Beyond the menu change issue, this dining experience was just not stellar. The restaurant has an overall patina of unkempt. Slightly dirty, slightly disheveled. This is not this restaurant's heyday, I can tell you that. It needs a massive renovation to look fresh and appealing. I had to sweep crumbs of food off the booth seat where we were seated. And the paper menus were all creased and grimy.
The cornbread that they brought to our table was just dry and perhaps stale. It was unpleasant. I will say that my steak was a nicely cooked (for the most part) medium rare, but the chef is quite heavy-handed with the salt shaker. Everything on my plate was overly salted.
The fries were those really thin shoestring fries. Argh! Some people must like those fries or the restaurants wouldn't keep serving them, but I've never met any of those freaks of nature. Shoestring fries are not good. They are not good! Sorry to rant, but I hate having those poor excuses for fries foisted on me when any other cut of fry would be better. Medium-thick, steakhouse, heck even waffle-cut would be better than shoestring. Shoestring fries get cold and overly crispy until they resemble those potato stix chip products. I know I sound like a really petulant five year old, but I do not like them!
