1st.
It judged on appearance and service, this would be a 5 star. This small cottage in the Florida outback of Lake Seminole was adorable. It looks more like a rustic lodge inside. It was a bit noisy, but this was, I believe just a group of 4 where the middle age men were trying self promote their lives and jobs… loud and annoying. Even other tables were looking and shaking heads. Thus the wood wall were kind if a amplifier considering they were placed in the corner. But I degrees, I did not subtract ant stars for this.
Service was friendly and I noted nit just my waitress, but all appeared courteous and attentive.
4½☆ for Location and Service.
It’s a bit inexpensive but not overly priced, at least on seafood side with dishes around $18 and Plater around $26. Steak and Beef plates were all priced around $37.
I DID NOT EAT BEEF so can not rate these dishes. Saying that, sides were all the same: potatoes, baked potatoes, french fried potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans with bacon, slaw and grits.. salad(?).
Fried pickles as appetizer .. they tasted great though all had holes in middle. I took this as cheap pickles used, but they were still very good.
Seafood was a hit and miss. Sine items like shrimp were perfectly cooked but was chewed. Oysters were perfect. Fish, was good and cook average for this area. Crab cake was almost black ftom overlooking as was hush puppies. Scallops were also chewy to the point, wife put them on my plate as she does with anything tgat is bad.
Speaking of this, I also got her Cole slaw and Grits. This did not matter since I could not eat these either. Hush Puppies, most of Scollops and crab cake also went untouched.
Cole Slaw problems seemed tp be at forsy they had not put any dressing on the cut cabbage. We actually sent it back. Waitress returned and said it had to be stirred since all dressing was on bottom. An examination configured that it had sat so long the dressing settled along with water from the cabbage leaving a watery whitish dressing in bottom. It spooned like water and looked like water with a bit if milk in consistency. Unless you spooned this water fluid with the slaw, you could not taste it. I’m not sure if it was bad or cheap dressing, or if was made a few days before and left in refrigerator and allowed to settle and cabbage to leach out water?
Grits were a disgrace considering this was Bainbridge Georgia. I have never been served a more watered down runny bowl of grits in the South. Period!
Overall. It’s a place that will impress those who have little more than fast food, dinners, BBQ resteraunt and pubs.
Seafood was exceptable in at a fair local price. Though I prefer a couple of seafood resterants near Eastpoint, this establishment is closer and about same price, though not as consists with cooking or quality.
I can not comment on beef, however with sides, it would have to be exception at the prices I noted… perhaps or perhaps not?
My taste for beef in my old age and in this area is fine with the Bainbridge Buffet (not naming but located near okld mall) that serves unlimited un-trimmed Prine Rib in Saturdays. At half the price and probably 30-40 sides… I will gladly trim the cut on my plate. But have to admit, this building and service is better!
From combined experience of both myself and wife, trying to be as honest as possible.. This is an Average, Small Town, Resteraunt with a better than average special meal ambience snd good service.
Expect a small charge for using a Card (that was unexpected, even fast food establishments simply apply this to their menu prices. )
So Overall = 3.5☆ but that extra charge did keep me from rounding up.
