Delicious food!
I had lunch here with my 2 boys ages 8 and 11 when we needed a break from the noise and crowds at the Collect-a-con at the convention center just a couple blocks away.
It was 1;00 in the afternoon on a Saturday and when we first walked in and asked for a table for 3 they immediately asked if we had a reservation which made me worried that this was a more upscale and expensive restaurant than we were expecting, I don't think ive ever made a reservation for lunch🤷 but we were quickly seated and our server immediately offered to bring us water while we looked over the menu. They have a large alcoholic drink menu, but the lunch menu didn't list any drinks at all, so with 2 young boys who are soda connoisseurs, we had to ask if they had Coke or Pepsi products. The server told us they had Pepsi products and also offered juices or a Shirley Temple which my boys immediately scrunched their faces at.😂
I ordered a club sandwich and my boys got the hamburger and chicken tender kids meals ($10 each) which weren't listed on the menu. They also have a mac and cheese kids meal option. We waited over 25 minutes for our food to arrive. It wasn't overly crowded, but they only had 4 staff working and it seemed to be the lunch hour rush.
The club sandwich was amazing and had what might be the best toast ive ever had! Perfectly buttered and just the right amount of crisp! There was a generous amount of meat and delicious fresh tomatoes that really tasted like they came straight from someone's garden! Im not joking when i say i had a hard time taking bites of this sandwich because i literally could not open my mouth wide enough to take a bite!
My boys loved their kids meals. My older son inhaled his hamburger and wished he would have ordered an adult sized burger because it was smaller than his appetite and the guy sitting next to us who ordered a burger got a huge one. My son considered ordering another burger and said "these burgers are better than Freddy's!" Which is really saying something coming from him!
The chicken tenders were probably the best I've ever tasted. They seemed like they were homemade, from fresh chicken and hand battered in a very light breading, NOT the typical mass-produced and cooked from frozen with more breading than chicken that is so common these days. The BBQ sauce served with the chicken was incredible! The perfect blend of smoky-sweet-heat!
Each of our meals were served with more fries than we could eat, but i wished i would have asked for a different side to try, the collard greens and pimento mac and cheese sounded intriguing. My boys were really tempted to order the peach cobbler bread pudding, but we were too full.
Overall, the food was amazing, the service was attentive but a little slow. We will definitely return if we're in the area!
