    I've had Traditions quite a few times from catered orders. The food has always been good. The spicy boneless chicken they have is by far the best thing I've had from here, SO today myself and a friend decided to come in for lunch. We assumed since the food is always pretty good when catered why not eat in. Obviously (2 star review) we were wrong. First off the whole lunch was almost an hour and a half ordeal. There was maybe one other table seated. We had to ask for the menus, get up and ask to order, and get up to bring the check up front because service was so freaking slow. Anyway..the food: -Chicken Sandwich (Shnitzle): 2/5, I ordered this because of the chicken I've had when they catered so I thought it'd be the same. It was not. Very dry and tasted like frozen precooked chicken cutlet. The ranch dressing "saved" it and gave some flavor which made it edible. I felt gross and nauseous after eating this though. -Alaska Salmon Entree: 0/5, my friend ordered this and asked me to try it because he said it tasted like hot dogs. I'll put it this way...hot dogs would've been a step up from what I tasted. It was like a fishy flavored piece of rubber. Not once in any of my 100+ reviews have I scored food at a zero. But this was absolutely horrendous. I had to spit it out immediately. Really REALLY bad. -Sweet Potato Fries: 2/5, honestly probably the best thing I consumed here and even these kind of sucked. They weren't really fries but more like fat mushy wedge slices. Edible, but not very enjoyable. Overall I will never return here again for a meal. It actually really sucks because the food that I've had numerous times from the catered orders has always been enjoyable but today was just disgusting. The place itself is dungy and run down feeling, I felt like I had to wash my hands AFTER eating because the table, menu, ketchup bottle, just everything felt scummy. The prices were also pretty crazy too, almost $20 for the sandwich, & almost $30 for the rubber salmon!?! Cmon. I really wanted to like this place for lunch as I'm in the area often, but after todays experience I will most definitely avoid eating here.

    I had gotten take out from traditions originally. I had a hamburger and fries. They where at best ok not really that good i ate about 3/4 and tased the rest. At this visit I can not say anything about the service as I did not go, Food was picked up by my daughter. The second time I actually went to Traditions for a party. There where arrox 40 guests for my daughters after wedding party. The service was excellent and the food was pretty good. We had a big private room which was nice. Because the food was just ok on the take out but much better for the party. I have to give it 3 stars only. I would of given them 4 stars if it was just for the party.

    What kind of meat is this? Have never seen Corned Beef that  looks like this!

    Just ordered take out and it was terrible. Very disappointed as I have ordered many times in the past, but it's been a while. I ordered a triple meat sandwich to get extra meat to share with corned beef and brisket. I don't know what the corned beef was??? It looks like some kind of processed meat. The sandwich was $ 29.00 I have never seen anything like it, and it tasted just horrible. The coleslaw was soured and had to be thrown out. Last time ordering.

    Kosher on Central this is a meat place and I mean meat all around this place was renovated not long ago its pleasing and simple interior we came on a weekday evening a bottle of water, pickles and cole slaw were instantly placed on our table nice touch menu offers hearty meals such as fried chicken (nice n crispy crunchy )and big sandwiches plus the usuals like fries,kasha varnishkas, creamed spinach a stand out is their homemade round potato kinish decent sized portions reasonable prices on the sandwiches we loved our friendly waiter with a funny sweet attitude sadly he was the ONLY waiter which slowed stuff down there was some sort of event being held in their other room so maybe that's why the slow service because of the decent food and the waiter we will be back

    There is a take out side with 2 tables and than a restaurant side with about 15 tables. Two different entrances but all connected. I was with my mother and sister and we came in the wrong entrance but quickly found our way. We sat down and were given water, lots of pickles, and cole slaw. We all looked over the menu and they seemed to have lots of choices. I ordered the fried chicken with a side of kasha varnishkas. The server was friendly and funny but the problem was he was the only server for the whole place. I felt bad for the guy. He was doing the best he could but 15 tables and one server, there is something wrong. The service was very very slow because of this. I finally got my food and the french fries were hot and crunchy. The kasha was very tasty and had lots of fried onions. I could have had 6 bowls of that stuff. The problem came with the chicken. While the four big pieces looked very appetizing the chicken tasted like it was frozen/freezer burnt before it was cooked. It didn't taste like fresh chicken. I am sorry but that is why you are lacking 2 stars. 1 for the slow service 1 for the frozen fried chicken The prices weren't to bad and my mother and sister seemed to enjoy their food. Maybe I will give this place another try.

    My personal favorite, the Edgar Sandwich with spicy fries.

    The food is decent, but is totally overpriced in proportion to the quality of the food and size.

    What can I say about Bayhouse? It's nothing short of amazing! My family has been coming here for…read morethe past 5-6 years, and it has become one of our favorite places to dine. The first thing you notice is that getting there feels like navigating a maze since it's tucked away in a secluded location. But the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed by a warm, relaxing atmosphere that instantly feels like home. You're always greeted with a friendly smile and a genuine "Hello, welcome!" The food is consistently outstanding, and the drinks are always on point. I have to give a special shoutout to our favorite server, Elaine. She is always approachable, kind, and makes us feel like family. Every visit feels personal--she remembers us, asks how we've been, and even knows our usual orders before we ask. That level of service is rare and truly appreciated. One of my favorite parts of dining here is sitting outside by the water. Watching the planes fly low overhead creates a unique atmosphere that almost makes you feel like you're traveling. I absolutely love Bayhouse and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a relaxing waterfront dining experience. It's a hidden gem that's well worth the visit!

    July 3rd, 26 I love dive bars, and BayHouse definitely has that laid-back, local feel that I enjoy…read more Maxine, the bartender at BayHouse, was fantastic--friendly and attentive. The bay view creates a relaxing atmosphere. Bathroom was ckean. We ordered cod fish and chips; the cod was decent but unremarkable, and the battered fries weren't to my taste. The shrimp was overly battered with very little shrimp inside, so I sent it back. I'd return for the ambiance and drinks, but not the fish. May be the wings are better there..

    The service and food is very good…read more The only reason that I took away 1 star is because the main course just came out to fast. We literally just took the last bite of our appetizer, and our main course was right there. I understand that restaurants need to turn over tables, but on this night the restaurant wasn't packed and there didn't seem to be a line of patrons waiting for a table. I will go back to the restaurant, but will ask if they can give us a little time between appetizer and entree.

    There is valet parking in the front and some outdoor seating…read more The place looks like we were walking into someone's living room with a huge bookcase in the back with books and an all black background Meet The Beatles album cover without the letters with what looked like a white photo negative copy juxtaposed to its left. Nice comfortable motif. Long high tables in the middle shaped like an "L" with regular tables for four along the rear periphery. The service is excellent. Brisket and Ribs, Fish and Chips, The Wedge Salad and Charred Octopus were excellent. The hot lobster roll is alright. I realized that we were here before because of the comfortable ambiance which is unforgettable. My friend enjoys his Martini every time. I have tried neither their signature drinks nor a theme dinner night, nor a live music event. Seems like there are many reasons to come to this place. Excellent presentation and experience for a Gastropub joint. Their menu has something for everyone! Five star for gastropub rating. Great experience every time.
