WOW, not what I expected at all. After eating at the Homestead restaurant I realized I should have "Steadhome".
On arriving with a small party of 4 around 5:00 we were promptly seated, there was no line. The waitress immediately gave us menus and returned with water. We did not order for a short while as we were short one person. After he arrived we were ready to order and the waitress was there and ready.I ordered the fish and chips ($10 approx.). After a short period the waitress returned with our meals and as soon as I saw the fish and chips I knew it was not going to be good. There was a mountain of fries covering two miniscule morsels of fish. I had to push the fries over to look for more fish because I could not believe that was it. (Disappointment #1). I tried some of the veggies, and much to my surprise there where some that were over cooked and some that were under cooked. I am not sure how this feat was accomplished. (Disappointment #2). Moving on to the fries. They were not actually too bad. They were crisp and piping hot. The coleslaw was very tasty and I enjoyed that as well. Then I moved on to the fish. On the very first bite I knew my expectations were accurate. The fish was nothing more than a frozen fish stick that was thawed and deep-fried (Disappointment #3). Even as a frozen fish stick it was sub-standard. The fish was dry and tough and not that good tasting either. To be completely honest I would have been much happier with oven baked fish sticks and fries at home. This meal reminded me of bad high school cafeteria food. I was very disappointed. I ordered home made lemon pie for desert, though not the best I have ever had I will say it was a very good piece of pie.When we were done we were given our checks and we had to pay at the counter on the way out. I don't think they take payment at the table...Over all I would have to say the service was not great, but not bad either. It was sufficient. The look of the restaurant was a country style dining room. There was a mix of tables and booths and a bar to sit at as well. The cliental of this place was primarily and older crowd, as in seniors. There were some families with kids present.I can only give this place a 1/5. That's a half point for the pie and a half point for the sufficient service. Its a good thing I had the pie....
