Definitely a chill place! Had a little bday celebration here. I recommend the brownie icecream fudge dessert! Its to die for! Loved the service! I got the clam chowder, it was good! Great parking in front and back. I recommend the popular pear alcoholic drink ! I forgot the exact name lol .. but we stayed here talking for hrs and nobody made us feel rushed at all.

The service was kind of slow. We were there at lunch time and it was pretty busy. Food was fabulous. One of the best clam clowder we have tried! Lobster mac and cheese was perfectly cooked.

It is a nice restaurant to go for lunch, the atmosphere was great , the service was excellent and food was good and fresh. My criticisms are the portion is kind of small for what they charge for and probably adding more greens or something else to the dishes to make them look better. For the pasta, less butter would be good.

Food was tasty, but very rich. Even though we didn't eat that much...we felt pretty bad afterwards. The restaurant was lively, but it made it very difficult to have a conversation.

Nikki was out of This world, extremely fast, accurate, great food, extremely fresh. If you’re in the area, give this place a try. Nikki was always smiling, very very pleasant. Her proposal was bang on, I can’t emphasize enough how fresh everything was. A1

I came out to the L.A. area to celebrate my 60th birthday with my lifelong friend whose 60th birthday is four days before mine. Whenever I'm near the ocean, all I want to eat is seafood 🦞😋. My buddy took me to this place on my birthday! I had a dozen Bluepoint oysters, a jumbo shrimp cocktail and the wild Pacific swordfish. The food was amazing! We ate in the bar area that has a nice, relaxing atmosphere. The service was a completely different story. Our server was, most of the time, unfriendly and curt, and down right rude when she tossed my credit card receipt onto the table, turned her back and said (with her back to us) "bye guys". I've never been treated so poorly by a server in my life! My friend and his wife are regular customers and he spoke to the manager and got the standard, "Oh, wow! We never get complaints about her", response. It's really unfortunate that this server made such a poor impression on my first, and, most likely, my last visit.

Everything was good but on the pricy side. Some were small in portion. Oyster was not my favorite. Wasn't hot and the oyster so small.

Id have to say I was very impressed by this place. Its an upscale place and I figured the food portion would be small with little taste and bland. But once the food came and I saw the portions and tasted the food, I was in aw. The seasoning was perfect and I tasted every flavor. The steak was soft as cutter and had a natural taste. The veggies had a seasoning and sauce that will have you wanting more. We left full and satisfied. The calamari was probably the best ive ever tasted. The fish was cooked to perfection.

My wife and I went to the Original Fish Company to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Arriving, we were met with smiles and a feeling of welcomeness . We were seated immediately, and our waiter, Greg... He brought us our drinks and our delicious sourdough bread, he took our orders as we knew what we wanted, and then shortly thereafter he brought us our delicious order of two each Salmon Blackened Pasta... Before leaving us to eat this delicious meal, he made sure we had everything in order to this amazing meal... He returned several times, and chit chatted with us, making this phenomenal eating experience unbelievably GREAT... Greg demonstrated great customer service plus speaking with us making us feel completely welcomed, not as patrons but as family, this added to the wonderful eating experience. The retaurant is beautifully maintained, the staff is just incredible the the prices are reasonable... My wife and I were very happy, and had a wonderful time, we strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone wishing to experience a wonderful time eating incredibly prepared seafood. If you are management and are reading this, please extend to Greg on our behalf our heart felt happiness. Hey Greg thanks and hope to see you soon.

Great location and ambience. Super busy, be prepared to wait for a table. Very popular in the community for their fresh seafood. Food (main entree) was just alright. Maybe I didn't order the right items. Clam chowder is great. Would recommend. Drinks: delicious! Pricing: $$$

My dad turned 70 and the Fish Co was his request for lunch. I have very mixed feelings! The service provided by Frank was a 10! Juan was also awesome and made sure our drinks were never empty and we had everything we needed! My captains fried platter was awful! The seafood had all life fried out of it and it was not seasoned at all which was very surprising! The best things on my plate were the sides, the spinach artichoke casserole and the garlic mash were delicious! My dad had a lobster dinner and he loved it, my mother had Bouillabase and it was also delicious! The bread was so good but the butter was ice cold, good iced tea and strawberry lemonade! They gave my father a rich chocolate mouse for his special day and sang happy birthday to him. I ordered the banana pudding pie and the bananas inside were old and black!! (I saved the worst for last) It was a very mixed experience of deliciousness and disappointment!! My father was so happy with his experience so that's what was important. Our meal came out to about $200 before tip which I felt was great pricing for this type of meal. I'd come back but I'd never get fried food again.

Dinner with 3 business associates on a Monday night. It started off a bit rough as the buzzer the hostess gave me when we arrived apparently wasn't working. So as we waited about a half hour for a table, I noticed some people who arrived after us were getting seated. To their credit, the manager noticed us standing there, and once she found out that the buzzer had malfunctioned got us a table right away. We had very competent and capable servers. I ordered the clam chowder as an appetizer, and it was probably one of the better clam chowders I've ever had! We also shared crabcakes around the table, and they were very tender, and were almost all crap meat and very little filler. Everyone at the table agreed that they were fabulous. I had the cioppino for my entrée and enjoyed it very much. I would definitely return.

To be honest, I went to The Original Fish Company last year and did not have a positive experience. Fast forward to last night:: -- we had party of 7 ladies and received excellent attention from the TOFC team -- the cocktails were dynamite Espresso martini Filthy vodka martini with blue cheese olives Pomegranate-tini -- we shared everything ordered and every dish was presented beautifully and the perfect temperature Clam chowder Poke bowl (salmon & tuna) Albacore nachos Wild shrimp pasta Great for groups Great bar that caters to date night or solo Robust happy hour menu --

Original Fish Company in Los Alamitos is a local, hidden gem for top quality seafood. It has an old-school upscale feel to it as you can sit in a plushy booth with your date and/or family. If you stick to their best items, you should be able to have a five-star experience. Here's what I recommend: 1) New England Clam Chowder. It's fresh, it's full of clams, and it's delicious. On a cold day, there's not much that can be better. I always pay the supplemental fee to have it added to my entree. 2) Shrimp and Scallop Salad. Yes - this salad is worth it. The reason it's an amazing hidden gem is because you get a generous portion of their mesquite grilled shrimp and scallops over their hearts of palm and avocado with a white truffle oil vinaigrette. The mesquite flavor permeates the meat and it's amazing. 2b) If you skip the salad, then get any of the mesquite broiled skewers. The smoky mesquite flavor on the seafood is worth every penny. 3) Crab Cakes. You get perfectly made crab cakes that consist of very meaty lump crab meat. If you want to enjoy crab without having to work for it, then their crab cakes with their delicious beurre blanc is a cheat code. The reason I have this rated as four stars rather than five are for two reasons: 1) I usually get oysters and the quality of the oysters are great; however, I have experienced inconsistency with shucking. Because their food is priced at a premium, you can't be happy if the oysters have some sediment. I'll probably upgrade my review to five stars if I have good experiences with oysters in my next few visits here. 2) I personally wouldn't choose their seafood pastas, fish sandwiches, and the fried seafood. My wife and wife's family do enjoy these items; however, I don't know if they're the best value on the menu. Overall, I would highly recommend Original Fish Company or their sister restaurant "Off the Hook". Though the prices are at a higher price point, I do think the prices are fair and you can't really find better seafood in the area!

I love love love this restaurant. I always come back every Christmas. Ambiance is excellent. Everything I ordered never disappoints. Fresh sea food at the counter.. white clam chowder is a must. We had King crab legs and wild salmon both excellent, cooked to perfection. Sour dough bread free yummy. Be back for New Year's Eve.

My partner has been wanting to take me here for a *long* time and I'm glad I finally got to go! I was expecting like a little fish and chips shack but this was a nice proper restaurant! It's much larger than it lets on to be and the offerings are so plentiful!! If you're looking for a fresh fish spot in a space that's good for seemingly every person for every occasion and every time of day- this is it!

One of my favorite places as a go-to annually with my peers. I had the Crab Trio which was excellent! You can't go wrong with any of the plates. Customer service by Eric was spot on. The ambiance was as usual satisfactory for us all. Definitely a place to pick when you've never been to it. Bookmark this one for sure!

This place is really charming. It has a nice ambiance. Every time I go, I feel like I'm on vacation in another city. The service here is always top notch- friendly and attentive. The food is really fresh and tasty. I ordered halibut with veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. My husband ordered a grilled seafood platter and my kids both had clam chowder. All were delicious! The reason I gave 4/5 starts is that it really is extremely expensive. My daughter's clam chowder bread bowl was $18. Our two meals and two clam chowders (my son got only a cup) were around $150. It's definitely a once a year or every two year type of place at this cost.

Well we haven't been here in years and we came in tonight. Well it's not what I hoped for. My food was bland no flavor.... Very disappointing. I had the shrimp pasta or not sure of the name the good part was the shrimp. Service here was okay we checked in... we were seated with in 5min.... Mind you it was busy inside.... But wow our server Litsa was sooooooo damn slow. Took forever to order food and received it. I was ok waiting but the food was not tasty. Not sure why it's so slammed probably the drinks??? I am not a huge drinker sooooo I can't comment on that lol.... Even our dessert sucked.... Yes we paid and didn't complain in case you were thinking that haaaa. No interest in coming back unless my hubby drags me back jk.... The ambiance here is cool just not tasty enough for me. (My hubby and son had the same problem with their food very bland)

We've loved the fish company and have gone there for decades. Unfortunately we no longer live in California to enjoy it regularly. Luckily we were in town and super excited to go for dinner. One of our favorites is the calamari steak. If you haven't tried it you really should! There is literally no other place that makes it like this and the sauce is out of this world! The service was very friendly and efficient! It has really cool light fixtures and the ambiance is very modern and nice! Definitely check it out!

This is a really big Los Alamitos restaurant with a huge outdoor seating patio, a large dining room, and a separate bar / dining area. The patio is so pretty with lots of string lights and a small stage for live music. The musician was really good. The bar area has white subway tile, striped booths, and an underlit bar. There are a few TVs in the bar, and football is playing, so there was a lot of yelling. I walked over to the dining area on the other side of the building, which looked much more quiet and subdued. It was lovely. Our server was fine. Not particularly friendly, but he got the job done. I will say that I had the best margarita I've ever had. It says on their menu that they make their own sweet and sour, and clearly it's different from the stuff other bars use. It was a pineapple jalapeno margarita and I could have had several more. I tasted hubby's espresso martini, which was also one of the best I've had. I declined to taste my son's honey lavender cocktail, because I don't like honey or lavender. We skipped appetizers and went straight to dinner. I ordered a wedge salad ( I love a good wedge salad ) with a salmon add-on. Hubby ordered a "garbage salad" with a salmon add-on. The salmon was very large, especially for an add-on. And it was absolutely perfectly cooked and so delicious. I loved my salad and my salmon. My son had a white cod sandwich with fries, and it was a huge piece of battered fish. He liked it, but I didn't taste it because it had tartar sauce - - another thing I don't like lol. I give this place props for fantastic cocktails and fantastic food. We will definitely be back!

Went to visit family and they brought me here for dinner. The place was packed and I thought man were going to have to wait forever. We got seated within 20 minutes. As we waited they had a deli like counter where you can look at the fish and buy and take home. Service was excellent and so was the food. I love lobster but since I wasn't paying I got the poor man's lobster (Monk Fish). It was so good. Everyone got something different and there wasn't one complaint. As we ate all I could hear was everyone smacking their lips and saying man this is sooooo delicious. One more thing I really like it didn't smell fishy in the restaurant. You can't go wrong here.

We absolutely love seafood, especially when cooked to perfection! We had to pay one of our favorite restaurants a visit for their famous Clam Chowder on this chilly day. After warming up with the Clam Chowder, we ordered one Lobster Taco each, so good! I also had four of their half shell oysters, soooo good! So fresh & tasty! For my entree I had their Swordfish with a side of garlic spinach & grilled asparagus. My hubby had the Rock Fish with garlic mashed potatoes and cole slaw. Of course I had four have one of their martinis and being in a sweet tooth mood I had their Pomagrate-tini and it was delicious. The service we got from Desiree was great, she was super friendly and always checked in with us. Of course we ended the night with dessert and we split the Blueberry and Apple Cobbler with a scoop of Vanilla Bean ice cream. The ambiance was fun as we sat in the bar area for Happy Hour and everyone was in a great mood. We just love coming here, looking forward to our next visit already!

Great vibes and great food. Restaurant is very busy on the weekends, but definitely worth visiting. And the clam chowder is to die for. So freaking creamy and delicious. You can also purchase cold clam chowder to go in case you didn't get enough at the restaurant :-D

I recently went to this place for a my birthday celebration, we arrived around 7pm on a Tuesday. Not very crowded. We ordered cocktails, soup and our entrees. That all came up almost three hundred dollars. The service was subpar and so was the food. My birthday was acknowledged by them giving me a free slice of key lime pie. I heard the wait staff singing happy birthday when I came in at another table, but I did not receive the same service. I've never had rice pilaf with raisins and noodles in it. The broccoli was steamed and not seasoned. I would not recommend this place to eat. Perhaps only to have a soup and a cocktail at the bar.

Stopped in here for NYE, no reservations, nor do they take them as of yet. I came in here for a great meal and to try to save my night, due to my poor planning for NYE. Arrived at 5PM, waited exactly 1 hour for a table but was completely worth it. I sat near the bar area, high top tables, where I was really comfortable. Service: Remains professional, trained and there when you need it. From the gentleman that brings the bread, to the server. Bar: Still rocking it, only pro's making them. Martini was just right. Dinner: Chilean Seabass, Green Beans and Garlic Mash- Perfection! Texture is buttery, just melts in my mouth. Thanks for not sticking us with a pre fix menu like other restaurants and keeping it like your name, original. It was a lovely night, great food, and ambiance.

I have been eating at this restaurant for many years. It has great seafood and the service is good. The place is cool with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has a variety of items to choose from and weekly specials. Decent prices for lunch and dinner. Nice large bar with televisions to watch the games and drink/eat. Family and friends-oriented restaurant. Note: they have a beautiful salad bar with several various salads to purchase to take home.

My wife and I met friends here recently for lunch and have a great time. We ordered a couple of appetizers to start, including a half dozen oysters that were delicious. For my entrée I had the Ahi tuna that was perfect. It came with some julienne vegetables, and the sides I chose were garlic mashed potatoes and a spinach & artichoke casserole. Both had great flavors and went great with my dish. I really need to try and get back here since the food is always so good. Besides me, everyone in our group loved their selections and thought everything was delicious. Our server, as well as the rest of the staff, were all very nice and helpful whenever we needed something. Both the inside and outdoor patio dining areas are kept very clean, and there is plenty of parking in the back lot.

Yes I will drive 30 minutes to have clam chowder here and buy the tub and sourdough rolls to go. Got here around 11:30 and it was starting to fill up. It was a cold and rainy day so that made it better to come out here for clam chowder. Of course we started with the clam chowder, so good!! It's a must when visiting this place. California rolls we can pass next time, its good but nothing stood out. Fried cod sandwich was really good and the cod had a flakiness that fell off when bit into it. The steak fries and tartar sauce that they gave on the side paired really well together. Kobe cheeseburger cooked medium. Flavorful and juicy. Staff was great and helpful. Plenty of parking.

Everyone I know has said great things about this place even the pickiest eaters. It was 2 of us for dinner Fri night. The parking lot was packed but inside we didn't have to wait. We chose a seat outdoors. The heat lamps made it nice and warm. Our waiter was very attentive. Theres was a side missing from our order and the waiter went straight into the kitchen to bring it out in less than 5mins. The basket of bread was nice and warm. Portions were generous we brought food home. I ordered the cioppinio that came with linguine. It was delightful with the large seafood portions and flavor. We also hhad clam chowder. I do like the ambience and the tvs around. I would come back and try more fresh fish.

I loved this huge and obviously very successful operation. Had the crab Louie salad which was perfect. A blackened Chilean sea bass was one of the best fish dishes I've ever tasted! Grilled vegetable and baked potato sides a "10"! 100% coming back!

A cool chilly Saturday evening.. for 3 people, we waited for only 20 mins. I've been wanting to try this place out because of how fresh the fish looked! This place didn't disappoint but be prepared for the prices. Their plates are roughly $30-50 per dish, it includes 2 sides in addition to the entree. The seabass was so SOOOO damn fresh like hello?? Not fishy, so soft & tender, very "melt in your mouth" feels. I can say the exact same to the featured salmon we got. Honestly to all of the seafood we had that night. Everything was cooked to perfection. Very cute date night. The restaurant is HUGE. Plenty of space. 10/10! Treat yourself.

We've been wanting to come here since we moved to the area... so we came for my 45th birthday dinner! Katie was our server, and she was GREAT!!! There are lots of great options on the menu, so it wasn't easy to decide, but we decided to start with a special of the night. Fresh peach margaritas 5 So good! For our order, we had the captains platter, which is Halibut, shrimp, and scallops, all mesquite broiled. I ordered a bake potato for the side and got the clam chowder (Definitely recommend) His order was the Blackened Halibut with Melissa's potatoes and grilled veg. Everything was great, from the drinks to the food and service. Katie brought me chocolate mousse for my birthday with a candle. Top Notch. Definitely recommend this place. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

We came with family for a lunch event. We got the room that seats 5 tables. The staff were really nice and helpful. I think in the beginning they are a bit short staffed, as we came a bit early. I wished that I can try out more of their appetizers. The entree and dessert was yummy.

Have been coming here for years and it's never a miss. Their happy hour is fantastic. I recommend the clam chowder, the king crab legs or mesquite salmon is always great, and the rolls!! *drools". Staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations. It's charming and inviting with low lighting so it's romantic enough for a date night but bright enough to see your food. Lols and the free taffy at the end!! The best!

You've got to get their Clam Chowder! It is noteworthy! On a rainy Saturday, the place was bustling! We were seated within about 5 minutes, long enough for me to peruse their Market Bar (seafood case)! There's lots of fish, lobster tails, oysters, King Crab Legs, clams, & shrimp to buy to prepare at home! You can also buy their Famous Chowder, bread & other items here! On a side note, this building houses two restaurants: The Original Fish Company AND Off The Hook. They have different menus and seating areas. You can walk clear through from one restaurant entry point to the other. We have dined at both. On this last visit, we came here for our Anniversary. We started off with Crab Cakes & Clam Chowder. There was a flavor in the Crab Cakes that didn't appeal to him. I thought they were alright, but not nearly the best I've ever had. I had the Canadian Scallops (RockefellerStyle). The Scallops themselves were delicately cooked and tasted very nice but the toppings (Creamed Spinach & Cheese) seemed to overwhelm them for me. With that said, they were topped with bacon bits and I was perfectly fine having them on there! We opted for the Sea Bass and chose our two sides of Baked Yam & Grilled Veggies. I know, a Baked Yam with fish? Why not give it a try? The baked yam come with a Honey Buttter which paired well with it! We really enjoyed the Entrée. Our server brought out a complimentary Chocolate Mousse with a Chocolate Fish on top for our Anniversary. I think they bring these out for birthdays as well. Nice little touch! Other foods we've had are the oysters, Crab Trio, Ecuadorian Mahi Mahi, Lavender Mule, Fresh Peach Puff Pastry, & Key Lime Tart. We have been here before & we will return again!

The Original Fish Company is one of our favorite restaurants. Hubby and I used to live nearby and it became a mainstay because the fish is so fresh and the recipes are classic. We have moved to south Orange County but still find our way to OFC every month or so when we are in the area. In 30 years of eating there, I have never had a bad meal. It used to be hard to get a table there because it is so popular, but the restaurant has expanded to fill most of the building so they have plenty of space inside and out. The patio is surrounded by beautiful flowers. And there are heaters when it is chilly. The service is consistently friendly and prompt. We highly recommend it.

As always, the food was amazing. I tried the tilapia special Mexican style tortilla crusted.Wow! Fish and chips and fried shrimp were wonderful. Of course everything begins with the warm sourdough rolls and a cup of clam chowder. Ryan and the staff were excellent. Family friendly atmosphere.

This is an awesome place to eat. I've been coming here for over 35 years and it's better than ever. Wonderful dining room great service. I'm so looking forward to going back and getting the seafood tower. You will not be disappointed. The management wants you to have an excellent experience and it shows.

BEWARE OF GIFTCARDS!! Bought GCs before Christmas specifically to use at Fish Company and/or Off the Hook - even confirmed with the seller that GCs could be used at BOTH restaurants. But, when I presented the GC at Off the Hook, was told it was NOT accepted there! That surprise completely ruined a previously enjoyable meal and has left a bad taste overall! Now I still have a GC left but will NOT be using it for dining anytime soon! Hopefully it can be used in the fish market, unless I'm met with another unfortunate surprise!

This place has been my family go to for many years. Many birthdays, get togethers, celebrations, anniversaries & surprises have happened here. The food is always top notch as well as the quality of service. The waiters are always quick and attentive, the food is nothing short of fantastic, and the restaurant is always well kept. I frequently come here for a quick lunch as the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you are receiving. My go to's are the Clam Chowder & the crab cakes. I also had the pleasure of trying their swordfish on my last visit and it is a MUST. If you are ever in the Los Alamitos area, do yourself a favor and stop in for an amazing food experience you are bound to want to repeat.

Came here on valentines for lunch. Steady stream of regulars and particularly busy for this day. Got seated quickly and staff are friendly. Food is solid. Price is mid ranged around $25-40+ depending on what you order. Clam chowder was thicker than I remember it to be. Decor is kind of like an older vibe pub with the pleather seats. Clean but overall good. Meal costs around $100, not cheap but not super expensive. Best part is they have a seafood mini market you can buy fresh seafood or fish to take home and make on your own.

The food and service here are always great. It can be a bit pricey, but for the quality of food and experience you get, I think it's justified. Their fish is always fresh and cooked nicely - I'd definitely recommend getting their sea bass, and any kind of potato as one of your sides. The clam chowder is also a must have, and they'll give you plenty of bread for you to dip it in your soup. A great place to go for either a fancy dinner or just a casual meal with friends or family.

We've been to Fish Co. a few times, but I never felt compelled to write a review until tonight. What motivated me was the new ahi tuna tostada and the calamari steak. Honestly, I don't remember what I've ordered before, but tonight I was blown away by the ahi tostada appetizer. OMG--what a skillful execution of flavor! Just come and try it. For the first time, I ordered the calamari steak with yam and broccoli sides. The yam, with its honey cinnamon flavor... omg, pure deliciousness. The dirty martinis were also amazing. And the service? Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. We're so lucky to have so many A+ restaurants close to home!

I have been coming here the past 10 years, and I never am disappointed with the food. my family and I decided to come here after a great day of shopping because we wanted some good food. Fortunately, it was no wait, and we sat down right away. The original Fish Company is really nice. It gets really crowded but they have a nice outside patio with heaters and inside is very spacious and plenty of seats and tables. They also have a side that you can buy seafood and and breads that you can take home etc.. The service here is pretty decent. I never really have any complaints. Everyone is attentive and they can tell you about the menu and specials of the day every time when I come. I usually order the salmon, but this time around I ordered the swordfish with broccoli and baked potato, and it was very scrumptious and prepared very well. They have so much variety of fishes to choose from. I was happy that I decided to try something different and it was on point. I Recommend the original fish company if you like seafood, and if you want to come here for celebrations, date night, or just hang out with the family for a lunch or dinner. The parking has many spaces in the lot next to the restaurant. I never had a problem parking here. -Marshay D.

Great restaurant, tons of seating. Service was great. They don't take reservations, we came on Saturday 1:30ish...and there was no wait. We ordered half dozen oysters: they were fresh. 8/10 Crab cakes 9/10 Lobster dinner with grilled veggies 8/10 Swordfish dinner 10/10 Fish and chips 7/10 only bc the fish lacked seasoning. The halibut was cooked perfectly with great breading but would recommend they start seasoning the fish prior to breading. Even with tartare sauce + vinegar the blandness came through. If they fix this they'd be a 10. Clam chowder bread bowl 10/10. Id come here just for the white clam chowder. Delicious Cocktails on point too.

Pretty good seafood restaurant that does everything good but not amazing. Service and the fun seafood Christmas decorations were more stand out.

I picked up food from this location and it was absolutely beautiful inside! Definitely a date-night location, but we just wanted to stay in that night. We ordered so many things! The New England clam chowder was one of the best I've ever had! Bread rolls were delicious and so was the fish and chips!!

The restaurant was nice and busy. Our server, Jerry, did a fine job. However, the food is overrated. This plate was about $50, the entree was Monk Fish with fruit bowl and "loaded" baked potatoes. Also ordered a skewer of shrimp. I understand food inflation but for that price.....not worth it. The "loaded" bake potato was an average size and it did not even have any bacon bits. I don't plan on going back to this place again. But great job Jerry.
