South Side Restaurant

     I chose to stop at this restaurant because I had always noticed it but never heard any buzz. I stopped in on a thursday afternoon and was greeted by an empty hostess station. After waiting a few moments a young women who turned out to be my server. I was seated at a 5 top which seemed a bit much since I was dining alone.
     The booth I was seated in was a Dale Earnheart booth. I'm not a nascar fan but even if I was, i wouldnt understand the correlation between Dale Earnhearts, a diner, and the picnic style fense they had set up for seperating the tables and the steareotypical italian music that was playing in the back ground wasnt bringing it all together for me either.
     After briefly looking over the menu, i chose a melon martini that was promptly brought to me. The upfront flavor was decent but the taste afterwards was almost rancid. For my entree I ordereed the honey dipped fried chicken. The chicken was overfreid and dry. The sweet potato fries were quite good, but for what I paid it wasnt worth it. Both things I ordered at lower menu prices than what showed up on my bill.The server was sweet and I actually had the owner and additional servers check in on my table.
     Although the people seemed nice enough, the food just didnt meet the price they were charging for it. That and the innacurate menu prices and the random "theme" it didnt cut it for me.
