This Week's Restaurant Review...

By Sam Smithers
This week the decision was made to go by boat to one of Grand Lake's seaside restaurants, which has been in business for a long time, located in West Bay. I seated myself beside one of the outdoor fans on the deck in an effort to keep cool, and ordered the barbecue sandwich.
It comes with a choice of sides, but I asked the waitperson if I could have French fries instead of potato salad and she said no problem. The barbecue brisket was tough and had some fat in it that should have been trimmed off and the fries were the usual frozen/fried kind.
The check arrived and the French fries were $2.25 extra; when I questioned this with the waitperson, to check with the longtime manager, she came back and said "it says on the menu that substitutions are extra so that's how come you got charged." So for just over $12.00 you get sandwich, fries and tea. No relief there. Then she brought my change from a $20 bill, and it was 70 cents short. Maybe you get charged for asking questions.
Onward and upwards to the next seaside restaurant.
