I had a late lunch at "The Corner Pocket" today. I remember…read morewhen this building was a drug store during the years I was growing up, so it was nice to see it refurbished and converted for modern use. It's a nice neighborhood-type bar/restaurant. Open and airy, with a pleasant color scheme & woods, and a comfortable feeling. There's even limited outdoor seating. From where I was sitting I counted 11 wall-mounted TV's. I sampled several items from the menu, (which had a good variety). For an appetizer I chose the pork quesadillas. The pork had a slight smoky flavor that I liked. For a salad I chose the Fiesta Taco (I asked for the jalapeños to be held because I don't like HOT). The lettuce and ingredients were fresh and tasty. Lastly I tried the Frisco Burger. The Black Angus meat was done just how I requested, and the flavor of the meat and sandwich as-a-whole was great. The accompanying french fries were tasty (often times places will buy the cheapest fries they can, and the taste reflects it, but NOT these). The portions were good sized, the prices were fair, and the service was excellent. All in all, a good dining experience.

The Tamarack sandwich arrived like a hero returning from battle, radiant and unapologetically magnificent. The bread? A golden vessel of destiny. The fillings? A symphony of textures and flavors conducting themselves in flawless harmony. Each bite unfolded like a well-paced novel -- rising action, climax, and a triumphant finish. Time briefly lost meaning. Conversations hushed. Somewhere, an eagle may have soared. Was it "just a sandwich"? Technically. But also, perhaps, a reminder that greatness can exist between two slices of bread. Five stars. Would ascend again. Now the real review. Stopped into Tamarack Pizza in Portage and ordered The Tamarack sandwich. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to oversell itself -- it just delivers. The sandwich was solid across the board: well-balanced, fresh, and made the way you hope it will be when you order a house specialty. Good bread, generous filling, and everything worked together without being fussy. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt easy. No theatrics -- just good food done right. I will come back next time I'm in the area.

She ate 1/4 waffle and 3/4th of the strawberries, whip cream and scoop of vanilla ice cream. I had the chicken bowl and it was ok. Nothing special. I could taste the processed chicken so k ow it was t a u processed chicken breast sliced up. My husband said his biscuits and gravy were bland with little meat in it. To be fair, the menu says biscuits and gravy, not biscuits and sausage gravely so I think that makes a difference. I told him to just be sure when it just says gravy to ask if it has sausage in it. We had 6 others in our group who enjoyed their meals but also stated it was just ok.

GF said she was in the mood for "real food" whereas I was more in town for the custard. I suggested a classic butter burger and she was happy to oblige. We also ordered the pretzel bites and I, the custard. GF enjoyed the butter burger. The fries were crispy and salted wonderfully. The pretzel bites seemed a touch overdone but still enjoyable.
