The concept of a home cooked meal that's ready to go when you stop-in sounds good. However, there are trade-offs. The meals are prepared in advance and kept in a cafeteria-style hot water bath to keep them hot. The huge homemade dinner rolls are kept on a table and are cold; you have a choice of white, garlic, or jalapeno rolls. I was never offered a packet of butter, but then, I never asked for any. You also get a choice of cookie for dessert. There are a couple of booths in the place if one wanted to stay and eat their meal.
On different days, I tried a meatloaf, and a Tuscan chicken meal. The meatloaf tasted good, but it was pretty dense. The Tuscan chicken was breast meat in a creamy sauce that was absent any flavor notes of Tuscany or Italy ... pretty bland, actually. The steamed vegetables are nicely done; good color, firm, and not soggy. The bacon ranch potatoes were overdone and lacked good texture, the flavor was fair but not to my liking. The mashed potatoes seemed to be made from dehydrated packaged product. The mac n cheese had nice al dente elbow macaroni, but they were in a liquid cheese sauce and not to my liking. Rice Pilaf was moist and clumped, not loose, as I like it.
So, what do I think? It's not a place where I would exclaim, "I've gotta go back for more." I gave this place a fair try, but there are other places in the local area that I prefer, much more. This take-out restaurant and menu may have a place with the very busy person or family. I can see where summer salmon fishermen wanting a fast pick-up and go meal may like this place. The restaurant's Facebook Page shows that they have local customers that really like the food. If you like their food, follow their Facebook Page. They will notify you of days when they must change their open hours. read more
