If you can get Stormi to wait on you, your experience will be amazing! The food was great, but the service was best of all. I only wish they could insulate the interior a little, as the sound was bouncing all over the place. Nevertheless, can't wait to go back. Will have to try the $17 soft pretzel we saw on our way out. WOW!

We visited Gerardâs on a Friday night for the first time. We were all impressed with both the food and service!! Molly, our server, guided us through the menu. Our party started with the shrimp cocktail and the three sausage appetizer! Both were outstanding! The schnitzel was delicious. The rouladen was also fabulous. The Austrian coffee was also excellent. We are already planning a return trip!

The food is always exremely poor even for a fast food chain. Dry chicken that had been sitting in heating drawers for hours, limp fries, the works.I've been here a bunch of times in the last year. It's always bad and shows no signs of improving.

We went there tonite for the first time. We will go back!!!Wife ordered prime rib, baked potato, salad with ranch dressing and cream of chicken soup.I ordered Cajun shrimp, baked potato, salad with vinegar and oil, cream of chicken soup and a Virgin Mary.Virgin Mary was good, came with pickle spear and 3 olives. Not too hot.What can you say about a salad and a baked potato. They were good, ranch on her salad and I had to mix the vinegar and oil on mine. Do not like to do that as I always screw up the mix.Soup was very good, thick with chunks of chicken.Prime rib was tender and flavorful.I had 30 good sized shrimp on 3 skewers. They were very good but I thought they had a little too much salt on them.Service was great and prices were reasonable.My only problem was the acoustics. We were in the upstairs dining area and it was a little loud. That was o k because everything else was good.

First time here. I like the dining space. I had chicken soup which was looking for more chicken broth ''in house homemade'' taste. The onion rings were the thin ones I like and ''in -house made but I believe they were made with Masa Flour and tasted too ''corny' for me. The vegetable was corn (too much corn for the ''daily'' vegetable in these restaurants. The corn came to the table in a little bowl the corn was larger kernels. I thought it was going to taste bad like "old field corn" but it surprised me it tasted sweet and was good. I ordered ''the Special'' Prime Rib. I was asked my my server how I ''wanted it cooked''? I ordered Medium Rare. The slice I got had no pink on the meat at all the whole slice was ''over-cooked''. The cubed potatoes I ordered came ''deep fried'. I wish they would have offered some pan fried potatoes or a baked potato. I may try this restaurant for a Breakfast and see how they do with that.

The food was good, the Caribbean jerk chicken was very good. The cheese fries appetizer was a little under cooked, probably needed another 90 seconds in the fryer. The onion rings, mushrooms and peppers were good though. The sports memorabilia on the walls made it worth the trip.

We stopped by on our way to Chicago. We assumed, from the location, name and outdoor decor that we were in for some seafood with a local touch. The portions were generous. The service was excellent! The food was good, but nothing over the top. Our table had the burrito, catfish dinner and gyro special. The gyro meat was very flavorful. The catfish, while ok, did not seem like US raised catfish.
3. The Tropics

The Tropics is tucked away by the harbor. Indoor and outdoor seating with a lovely view of the boats anchored there, but most important, good food, good service, and oh so many possibilities. The one our host chose was an expansive buffet with lovely table settings and an awesome bar. The graduation celebration was almost too good to be true.... but it was! I am guessing there were 75+ guests, family, and friends of all ages. The space was generous but still offered a cozy vibe. There were many couples and families, not with us, but within the restaurant that seemed to be enjoying their meals, and cocktails, as were we all.

The Grandma team was quite dissappointed. We have been eating here for about 15 years. Always had the best food. Ordered 3 steak potatoes. Two potatoes without mushrooms. My daughter in law is allergic. The order came with mushrooms. Instead of sending it back I took it to go. She ordered a sandwich. The bacon tasted like precooked Oscarmeyer. She opened the bread and there was a mushroom. Very disappointed. Not sure if we will return.
