Coffee was hot and fresh. Our food arrived quickly and was what we ordered. The eggs were fluffy and hot, the hashbrowns were right on, toast was a bit under toasted with very little butter but still OK, the sausage patties were small, hard, and a slightly off taste.
I would rate the food overall an 8.2 and our server a 10.
Captain D's use to have a fried shrimp & clams side combo that was very good. During the supply issues associated with the Covid lockdowns Captain D's decided to drop this from their menu. The prices were reasonable and the food was good. I wish they would bring this combo back.
Howard Johnson's had really good fried clams. Wednesday nights were all you could eat clams. I miss this too.
Flaming Pit had fried shrimp that I remember from when I was growing up.
I just tried the fried shrimp/fried clams combo from Carolina Fish Fry Co. on Benson Rd. in Garner. They were good but not great. I wish the shrimp breading would have been a bit crunchier. The potato salad was very good. The hush puppies were cooked well. The mash potatoes and gravy were good - with the potatoes a bit chunky giving them a nice texture. Overall, I would rate Carolina Fish a 7.4 out of 10. Yes, I would definitely order them again.
MoonRunners Saloon on Hwy 70 in Garner also has some very good friend shrimp. If you are craving shrimp I would recommend Moonrunners.
Pilot House Kitchens.
Pilot House use to have several locations around the St. Louis area. Now, the chicken is only available at the Sunset 44 Restaurant. I love friend chicken and really wish Pilot House was available here.
I ordered a Sausage, Black & Mushroom. It arrived in about 45 minutes and was still hot.
The crust is decent. Medium flop. The sauce is mild and tomatoey. Sausage was mild. Olives and mushrooms were firm and tasty.
Went to the ballet (Frankenstein) with a friend last Saturday and we stopped off at Logan's Roadhouse for a quick lunch. They weren't very busy. The service was excellent and the food was good.
The bread though was excellent! I loved it. Could have made a lunch just out of that. Soft and airy. Tasted great both with and without butter. I would give this bread a 9.8 out of 10.
For my meal I ordered a fried chicken salad w/ 1000 island dressing along with a loaded baked potato. The salad was fresh and tasty. The fried chicken was moist and the breading was tasty. The potato was well cooked and the toppings plentiful. Salad was 7.6 and the potato 7.8 out of 10.
Overall, between the excellent service, the reasonable pricing of the food, along with the good food and excellent bread I would have to rate Logan's an 8.1 out of 10.
Well worth a bit of a drive for a very good lunch.
I was ata the store and saw a display of Little Debbies Strawberry Swiss Rolls and decided to get a box and give them a try. I was unimpressed. The strawberry flavor left an aftertaste in my moth that I didn't expect.
Would I eat them again - maybe.
Would I buy them again - No.
I had someone ask about my favorite restaurant and I realized that I didn't really have an answer for them. I needed to give it some thought. It took me a couple of days but I now know what my favorite restaurant is and why.

Every time I have eaten here it hasn't really felt like 'going out' or 'eating at a restaurant'. I always left feeling like I had dinner at a friends house. The food was always good. The servers were helpful and considerate and treated us more like friends than customers.
