Lol like how you mess up bread though. No butter or nothing. Just lightly toasted. Soft toast lol I'm sorry but the dinner we ordered was not good at all. We had their string beans, baked beans, and a extra side of potato salad. All items were bland. I'm so amazed how bad the food tasted. Smh this could have been a great place to freqently dine at but nope they dont season their food. I dont know why but they should definitely change their cooking practices. I'm so confused after eating here. Like what are your cooks doing in the back.

I assumed it was just another mass produced assembly line styled carry out. SUPER happy I finally did. Just check out my pics. HUGE portions and the ribs were PERFECT. Sheesh ... did you see the size of the sweet potato?!?! We were not a fan of the mac 'n cheese but not a deal breaker. Waited at the bar for my carryout order and had the strongest Cosmo for the best price EVER. Might consider asking for more cranberry juice next time but just trust me ... there WILL be a NEXT time.

There are surprising number of chicken options here for a place called, "This Is Seafood", but not quite as many seafood options as I hoped. I was really looking forward to getting an order of fried scallops for lunch and I was a little disappointed they didn't have them on the menu. I decided to get the Combo #4: 3 whole wings, 6 fried shrimp, and my choice of 1 piece of fish and side dish. For my fish, I chose fried catfish and for my side I chose hush puppies. The combo also came with a fountain drink. I decided to mix their house-made lemonade and house-made iced tea and it made the perfect half-and-half. The wait wasn't too bad, as the food was being freshly made. It was piping hot and crispy when I received it. Those shrimp were huge! Some of the biggest fried shrimp I've ever had...And not those butterfly shrimp either. Whole shrimp, and the tail was removed so I didn't have to worry about accidentally crunching on one of the shells. The catfish was delectable! Perfectly seasoned, delightfully crispy, and absolutely melted in my mouth. So good. I'm coming back for the catfish if nothing else. The wings were perfectly fried, nice and crispy, but they were a bit too light on the seasoning for my taste. And the mumbo sauce tasted too similar to barbecue sauce. I did not like that, so I ended up saving the rest of the wings until I got home to put my own mumbo sauce on them. The hush puppies were also really good. I like that they were fried perfectly and weren't greasy... Even after reheating them. Overall, my lunch cost me about $25 and it was enough food for at least two meals. Can't beat that. I'll be back for that catfish.

Personally, I Wish They Had Crinkle-Cut Fries, That Would've Taken It Up A Notch. MAC N CHEESE Really Good & Honestly Different From Anywhere Else I've Had. Comforting & Flavorful Without Being Basic. I Definitely Need To Try Their Crack Cakes Next Time Especially The One With Lobster Meat BBQ SAUCE OMGGGGGG!!!!!! Their BBQ Sauce Deserves Its Own Section. I Tried It On The Side & It Was Everything. It Immediately Reminded Me Of The BBQ From The Rib Man On The Street Corner In DC....

Famous Chef Thomas Reviews: Sardi's Pollo a la Brasa (Clinton, Maryland)…read more The Verdict If a restaurant wishes to test its understanding of hospitality, it is not found in the complexity of its menu, but in the grace with which it handles a simple request. At Sardi's in Clinton, the answer, in this case, is clear, and it is not favorable. The Examination A. Foundation : The Establishment Sardi's has long positioned itself as a dependable destination for rotisserie chicken and Peruvian-inspired comfort. For years, The Famous Chef Thomas was not merely a customer, but a consistent patron, returning regularly, investing both time and money into the establishment. The food, while not revolutionary, delivered consistency. The relationship, however, was the true asset. And that is precisely what was mishandled. B. Structure : The Request The request was simple: A standard side of mixed vegetables, unchanged in portion, slightly adjusted in composition. A modest increase in corn within a dish that already contains corn. No additional cost burden. No operational disruption. No deviation from the existing ingredients. This is not culinary innovation. This is basic accommodation. Yet, the request was denied. Not once, but twice. C. Discipline or Failure : The Breakdown A single denial may be dismissed as an oversight. A second confirms policy over judgment. Escalation to management should represent recovery, an opportunity to restore the customer relationship. Instead, it compounded the failure. The response, lacking flexibility and refinement, revealed something deeper than a one-off interaction. It exposed a systemic issue: a disregard for customer value and an unwillingness to exercise discretion in service. When a loyal patron, one contributing thousands of dollars annually; cannot receive a minor, reasonable accommodation, the issue is no longer operational. It is cultural. Hospitality Assessment First Impression: Previously reliable, now overshadowed by rigidity Hospitality: Inflexible, dismissive under simple pressure Execution of Food: Consistent but ultimately secondary Authenticity / Identity: Undermined by lack of service awareness Value Alignment: Broken, price is no longer justified without respect Final Judgment The Famous Chef Thomas does not measure a restaurant solely by its food, but by its understanding of the guest. At Sardi's in Clinton, a small request revealed a large truth. A year has passed since that final interaction. No return visits. No further patronage. Thousands in lost revenue, exchanged for a refusal that should never have occurred. The Famous Chef Thomas does not recommend this establishment.

It's overdue to check this spot out. Walked in and immediately greeted…read more After looking at the menu I settled on lemon pepper, garlic parmesan and a flavor I had never heard of before (Honey Heaven). Let's get into it. First you going to get real drums and flats... money's worth! Hands down some of the best lemon pepper wings I've ever had, season in every bite. The garlic parmesan was good, they ensure there's no wing that doesn't have the flavor chosen. The Honey Heaven is next level you will not be disappointed, the perfect combo of spice and sweet. To top the meal off you've got to add seasoning fries and any of the kool-aide drink. Shout out to the chef in the bag and Ms Riyanna for her excellent customer service. Overall definitely a spot to swing through when you're in the area.

This was not in the bag or sitting loose in the container -- it was directly inside the meal. Finding something like this in food is a serious safety issue and could have caused much worse injuries if swallowed. I immediately stopped eating and took photos of everything. Quality control and food safety clearly failed here. I understand mistakes happen, but a metal screw ending up in someone's food is beyond careless. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

The front counter still appears to have COVID provisions up but the plastic is falling apart. The service was ok. Whenever there was downtime that staff were on their phones. One of the cooks from the back brought out a new tray of baked chicken. After attempting to put the tray on the line, it slipped and some pieces fell into the hot water the tray sits atop. The tray also seeped into the water some. The cook took the tray to the back and within two minutes came back with a tray of chicken to put on the line. A waiting customer saw this and immediately decided not to eat there. She gave back her ticket and said I know that is the same chicken that just fell in the water. I ordered the wings with Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. It was good. Chicken was fresh and the portions were plentiful.

Not many suitable bar/restaurants and this part of the PGC so it's not like we had a lot to choose from where decent food and a liquor license coincided. I had a Long Island and a Mai Tai. The Mai Tai was better, so I had two. I had a shrimp po'boy loaded with lots of jumbo shrimp and a side of crinkle cuts. Got a juicy morsel of shrimp in every bite and the sandwich was moist and delicious. No dead sandwich space missing shrimp or ingredients. Nice Italian sub roll too. They even gave me a side of Crystal hot sauce for my fries. *smiles* My coworker had a crab cake sandwich which was also delicious. They need to work on the decor in here and update it some (bathrooms are dated but smelled really good), but it's otherwise a very inviting neighborhood restaurant. I'll go back because they can cook.... And they have a fully stocked bar. Ample parking and right across the street from Aldi's.
