Baba&#x27;s Steak &amp; Lemonade

Big Eyed Fish on Wells Street - when you have a craving for Fish & Stroh style fish and tarter…read moresauce Yes, I know that I could go to Stroh to get this old time flavor. However, Big Eyed Fish is pretty good fish in its own right, local...and flavored like the taste I remember from the past. We visited the Big Eyed Fish location on Well's street. They have an express shop located on Huegenard Road and another dine in location at Leo Crossing. This location has been in service since 2003. It has a nice diner feel with super friendly service. You can find parking on the street or in the lot behind the store. The inside is rather large and works well for parties up to about 8 diners. There is a small bar and TV's if that is your thing. They also have a big and varied menu including breakfast items. Here is a run down of the food items: -Fried Fish: the white fish fillet is thin and fried with a thin breading. The fish is moist and tender. It will flake apart with a fork or by hand. The breading has a slight amount of seasoning and isn't very oily to taste. It has a taste similar to the Fish & Stroh style if you are familiar with that. The fillets are not very filling. For an extra $3...I went with the all you can eat option. Delicious fish! -Tarter Sauce: I love tarter sauce. In fact I might order fish to go with my tarter sauce - lol. This mayo based sauce is reasonably thick, somewhat sweet and has a hint of pickle flavoring. It's creamy and makes a perfect complement to the fried fish flavor. -Baked Beans: this side really surprised me. The bean is small and contained hamburger pieces. The sauce had a slight BBQ flavor but not enough to classify it as a BBQ baked bean dish. The meat flavor was a nice add to the smooth tomato spiced sauce. Delicious!! -Cole Slaw: I kind of use KFC as the standard for Cole Slaw. This is very similar. The slaw pieces are cut very small with only one kind of slaw. Seemingly no additives - just slaw. The sauce is mayo based, a bit more sweet along with a hint of vinegar. I loved this side too! -Hush Puppies: these balls are pretty small in diameter. The inside is very modista and sweet with that southern style corn bread taste. The outside is thicker, a bit oily to taste and has a mild corn bread taste/texture. These are probably some of the best hush puppies I've had in my southern raised life.

The Clyde Room at The Clyde (Bluffton Road) - is it a flatbread, pizza or really flatbread?…read more The menu says it's a flatbread. They have six of them on the menu (see menu). If you come in on Tuesday's you can get anyone one of these selections for just $12. However, the delicious tasting flatbread looks like a pizza and tastes as delicious as a pizza (see pictures)! So...you decide... Grok says there isn't a distinct line between a pizza and a flatbread. Flatbreads tend to be more of a modern marketing thing. Here are the core practical differences: -Flatbread: made of an unleavened yeast; dense, thin, flat; bread baked without toppings, toppings added later; rectangle or oval in shape -Pizza: yeast based dough; lighter, puffier edge, chewier; dough and toppings baked at the same time as the bread thus depressing the center; typically round in shape Regardless of whether The Clyde's offering is really a flatbread or a pizza...it was delicious! The Godfather choice is very salty. That comes from the mix of meats, banana peppers and green olives. The marinara sauce is a little spicy but not applied thick enough to bring that taste forward. The crust is a bit thicker than on the thin side...and more crispy. The garlic aioli sauce adds another moist flavor to tone down the salty taste - a little. The chicken bacon ranch flatbread tasted more like a traditional pizza offering. The crust was a little thicker than just a thin crust. It had a bit of crisp. The chicken was nicely grilled, tender and flavorful. The bacon, red pepper and ranch sauces blend nicely such that none of the individual flavors pop out at you. Outside the flat bread versus pizza issue...our service was very good. We had a trainee and trainer. They worked well to serve us well! The facility is large and can accommodate large groups well. It is decorated nicely and well arranged to enjoy a stage show.

We went to go celebrate my husband's birthday and our server had too many tables because the service wasn't the best. She was okay but for their prices we shouldn't be waiting to get refills for a while. We received 3 of our 4 meals an hour after ordering. I ordered a pizza and I knew it takes 30 minutes but my entire family was done eating and I asked the server if it was almost done. She said the cooks didn't know. I'm going to guess it was never rang in. Because it was pushing 1.5 hrs and it wasn't close to being done? They were steady but I wouldn't say busy. They had plenty of staff on but our server had a lot of tables. We left and she took the pizza off and apologized but I don't think that's enough when one person leaves and doesn't get dinner. If the kitchen was behind, if the pizzas were taking longer, if the service wasn't going to be lacking "just be honest at the beginning". Honestly was truly disappointing and not a good visit.

It took about 10 minutes for them to come back around and I politely pointed out I am just waiting on the rest of my food. They then brought out the French onion soup soon after. The soup had good taste, but hardly any onions in my portion. I took maybe 3 spoonfuls and sent it back. Told the lady that I do NOT need a new portion as I was just disappointed with it all and ready to leave. Then, after I asked to cash out and had my credit card by the bill, she brought me a new soup. I told her "I'm not trying to be rude but I told you I didn't need another serving."

The counter person was kind and professional. I found the food to be okay. The fries had a nice rub that gave it flavor. Unfortunately the fries were cold-ish by time we got them home. Therefore they had a tougher starch taste to go with the mild Cajun rub flavor. We had the BBQ and hot sauced nuggets. I thought the nuggets were a bit tough though they were thoroughly cooked. There was a nice thick breading that was soft with a mild crunch. The BBQ sauce was sweet and had a traditional BBQ flavor. The hot sauce was typical buffalo sauce that was mild in spice.

This is one of my go-to's when it comes to fast food or fast casual, especially with the hours. Great place to stop in if you're looking for something cheap, filling, and fast.
