Had a Christmas Dinner here tonight. Enjoyed myself in conversation so much that I almost did not take pictures. I love coming here especially after they sort of merged with the cooking staff from Oso Eats. The menu changed and got even better. They have options for everyone, from salads & wraps, to burgers & Main Chef dishes. I love their Pecan Chicken as well as the Madeira Chicken with mushrooms. However today I cheated on my diet and went with the Country Fried steak. It is a well coated and fried steak that does not need much else. It sits on some creamy mashed potatoes and topped off with a bacon gravy that’s not too watery or too thick. It is the right consistency and they don’t smother it, it’s just enough so that you can enjoy the actual steak. You get your Choice of side, I went with asparagus so I could convince myself that I was eating healthy. They also have a great selection of desserts. I got a slice of carrot cake that looked like it was on steroids, definitely it good for my diet. I I g was great, cake was a tad dry and I could have used more nuts in.it, my preference. My buddy got the Buckey which looked amazing and was probably about a million calories. He loved it and I trust his word. The ambience is casual family style with plenty of seating. There is also a bar towards the rear with a few TVs to catch sports. I love coming here and have loved everything I have ever ordered. It’s a strip mall so plenty of parking. Staff is always on point with taking g orders and getting them right, drinks filled and all with a smile. Love this family restaurant with reasonable prices. They also have two rooms that can be reserved for small parties.
This place consistently serves great food. I eat here often and am constantly reminded why. It’s always good. Service can be a little up and down but always comes through. Fried shrimp plate is better than most seafood restaurants. Not greasy. Cooked perfectly. The cheese steak sub is also good. Don’t forget desert! Glad to recommend this restaurant.
First visit. Very impressed. Steve was very helpful and prompt. Food was fantastic reasonable prices. I recommend the Ruben. The whole restaurant was clean and neat.
I've been to worse places, but I'm disappointed that our experience wasn't as good as the other reviews. The service: The bartender Tiffany was our waitress and when we walked in at 8:15 the first thing she did when she came to the table was check her watch and roll her eyes. She barely said 2 sentences to us and acted like she couldn't be bothered and everything we did annoyed her. We had to ask for bread twice, the second time was when she was dropping our meals off at our table. She barely looked at us and was definitely not warm and friendly at all. Honestly I would get it if she was like that to everyone but when she went back to the bar she was a completely different person, chatting and laughing with everyone sitting at the bar. She asked us if we were good at one point and before I could look up and ask for the check she was already walking away. When she dropped our card back off at the table she immediately put her hoodie on and stared at us. It was 9:05. As I'm writing this in the parking lot at 9:27 people are still at other tables eating. The food: Honestly, whoever the chef was is too good for that restaurant, and what I mean by that is the food was cooked well, but it was weird. I asked for a medium burger, and it was perfectly cooked. My partner ordered chicken, and it was perfectly cooked. The recipes were weird, though. My partner got the pecan chicken, and again, it was cooked perfectly, but it was a weird recipe. It was very sweet, and there wasn't anything savory to balance out the sweet. The Mac and cheese was fine, a little bland, but fine. The burger was also bland in flavor (like no salt, no pepper, no nothing), but again cooked perfectly. The brioche bun had a weird aftertaste, though. The fries were good if you dipped them in barbecue sauce, but they also had a weird aftertaste. We got the spinach dip, and that was truly disgusting, don't waste your money. The chips were definitely just from a bag and had a really bad flavor that overpowered the dip. But the dip wasn't anything great either, just all around bad dish. The best food I had was the bread I had to ask for twice.
As Oso fans who moved away for many years, we very much enjoy The Sherwood with Johnny’s great menu and service. We love the flounder and popcorn shrimp and the blackened flounder. I have the best coleslaw around. I am addicted to the creamed corn as a side dish as well. The beer is served extra cold for a satisfying experience all around. We will return to ask for service by Annalise who did a great job making sure everything was just perfect.
