Our server was very sweet, and got our drink orders in. When she brought the drinks, we put our order in. This is where things started to go wrong. The lemonade seemed like it had no sugar in it, and so our party needed to add our own. After a little while, our food order started to arrive. The steak frites was yummy; well seasoned and with a nice, rich sauce. The fries were lack luster, and could have been a bit fresher. The quesadilla was served in a pool of grease. The mac and cheese was yummy, but the ordered chicken was missing entirely. It took us a while to get the server's attention, but it seemed the chicken had been sitting in the kitchen waiting that entire time as it came back very quickly. The pasta's onions were also not peeled properly, and some of the papery skin was in the dish. It was a cool place with a neat vibe, and we had high hopes. But there were enough things going wrong to really make me to want a repeat trip.

We really loved our food. We did the nachos which was amazing. Great flavor, the kind of food you're still thinking about the next day! I got the Caesar salad with falafel. It was massive and had good flavor. I loved how they added cauliflower and egg to make it more if a meal, and the homemade croutons.

I got yet another over-priced salas (close to $24 because I had a $9 overcooked grilled salmon fillet added to it). The salmon was too dry but the salad itself was delicious - crisp and very clean greens and a "sweet herb" vinegarette. Not my holy grail spot - but if someone else is paying - I will go.

Tucked away in the Paoli Shopping Center, Baxter's American Grille is a neighborhood…read morehappy-tappy/restaurant/sports bar serving up an eclectic mix of comfort fare, pub grub, classic sandwiches, and house specialties. It's pretty obvious that Baxter's isn't exactly the Ritz... but neither is it pretending to be. On the other hand, if you're in the mood for a burger & brew, or just some laid back comfort fare, it's definitely a place to consider. After all, man does not live by foie gras alone. I've always been of the opinion that each restaurant should be evaluated individually - on the basis of how well it fulfills its own particular raison d'être - not en masse. But regardless of where you're dining - however humble or upscale - it's always a good idea to go with what the restaurant's kitchen does (or proports to do) best. Based upon my years of experience as a food writer, the dishes that Baxter's - and restaurants of similar ilk - seem to do best are those that require the least amount of fuss. Take a gander at Baxter's globe-trotting menu... you find such diverse items as steaks & prime rib, chicken parm, Thai stir fry, all-American calf's liver, and a variety of seafood... There's simply too much going for the kitchen's reach not to exceed its grasp... If I want an 8-ounce filet, I'll go to a steakhouse; if I prefer chicken parm, I'll pay a call at my favorite Italian restaurant. Thai stir fry? My go-to Asian eatery... And when I chow-down at Baxter's, as I have over the years, I stick to the pub-grub or similar fare. This, of course, doesn't guarantee success... but it certainly puts the odds solidly in my favor. During our most recent visit, however, my permanent dining companion and I decided to take the "comfort food" route - she settling on the Fish & Chips; I opting for the Home-Style Meatloaf - both of which proved to be somewhat disappointing. When I think about fish & chips, I can't help but recall an incident that took place several years ago... My companion and I were visiting a New Jersey restaurant (thankfully now defunct) that I planned to review. We were seated at the bar enjoying a preprandial libation and checking out the menu. When my companion spied the fish & chips, she asked the bartender his opinion. "What can you do to fish & chips," he shrugged. Well, actually you can do a lot - in this particular case, none of it good. For no matter how straightforward a dish may be, a kitchen can find any one of a number of ways to muck it up. I'll spare you the gory details... but let me simply say that the sorry specimen we were served has remained the worst representative of the genre it has ever been our displeasure to ingest. Fortunately, Baxter's version, while not exactly receiving my dining partner's enthusiastic imprimatur, at least did not incur her wrath. The haddock was at the peak of good health, she said, the batter judiciously applied & done to a golden brown, and the accompanying sweet potato fries perfectly crisp and beyond reproach... Her final word on the matter: "Acceptable." ... And the same could be said for my meatloaf. Hardly the incredible "diner" meatloaf of childhood memory - for which I constantly search - but adequate nonetheless. On the positive side, the texture, neither too dense nor too mushy, was right on the money. And the portion size, as you'll note from the photograph, was certainly generous. On the other hand, the meat lacked anything even approximating seasoning... And the flood of bland-leading-the-bland brown gravy did little to ameliorate the situation. The pillow of mashed potatoes was so-so at best... But, kudos to the kitchen, the side of house-made coleslaw was quite good. Dessert choices round up all the usual suspects... Dark Chocolate Mousse... Apple Crumb Pie a la Mode... New York Cheesecake... Carrot Cake... and Baxter's Brownie Sundae (pictured). This latter offering is clearly the way to go. A Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownie is crowned with vanilla ice cream, splashed with caramel and chocolate sauces, and finished off with whipped cream and a cherry. Yes, very old-fashioned... but very good, very rich, and very suitable for sharing.

We asked for plates THREE separate times. Apparently plates were either on backorder or required managerial approval, because they never came. Eventually, I gave up and went behind the bar and got them myself. I'm still waiting to find out when my first shift officially starts. Then there was the ice situation. No ice. At a restaurant. Not "we're running low on ice." NO ICE. Apparently frozen water is now considered a luxury item. The real highlight was the manager, who seemed completely unconcerned that the service had gone completely off the rails. No urgency, no attempt to make things right, and seemingly no interest whatsoever. I've had better service at a self-checkout, and at least the self-checkout has the decency to thank me for doing everything myself. If you decide to eat here, bring your own plates, a bag of ice, and maybe an apron--you may be working a shift before dessert.

I've been a Hooters fan since I was young -- not for the novelty, but for the wings. The real ones…read moreknow what I mean. Crispy, saucy, and perfect in that old-school way that feels like the 90s never ended. I honestly thought every Hooters in the area had vanished like an old roadside sign. Then I checked out the new Netflix House and, by pure luck, realized this place was still here. A survivor. And thank God for that, because the wings are still great and still fairly priced. Now, full honesty: the place feels a bit dingy. Not dirty -- just worn from 30+ years of laughter, beer, and big nights. It's got that "Vegas showgirl in her 60s" vibe -- still iconic, still knows the routine, but you can see the years in the corners. If it were up to me? I'd strip it down to the studs and rebuild it exactly the same: bright, classic, knotty pine everywhere. That stuff isn't expensive, and it would bring the whole place back to life. Still... I'm glad it's here. And if you're craving real, nostalgic, no-nonsense wings, you'll be glad too.

As there were only three people working in the restaurant, one was tending the bar, one was taking orders, and one was wheeling the food out on a cart, and it was busy with sports families, which seem to be the main clientele, it took some time for the lone server to take our order, but he checked in on us and apologized for the delays.

Last Friday we went again. Stood at that welcome station you see in the picture and waited to be seated. Everyone ignored us. After 10 minutes of waiting to be seated, my wife walked in to talk to someone and they saw here coming and went in the back. I asked the woman at the hotel desk what was going on. The desk clerk walked up to the bartender and they began an animated and not-friendly-looking discussion.After watching that for five minutes, we waved to them that we were done waiting and we and our two friends just left and went somewhere else. Weird place. They just don't seem to want to serve people. As far as I could tell there were only 3 people working the entire restaurant. Three tries is enough. We aren't ever going back, and we live 7 minutes away.
