Midway Lounge

Mediocre food, high prices. We started with bacon-wrapped shrimp, which was okay, but we were stunned when the waitress asked if we wanted garlic butter on the side. Really? Butter on bacon? Just do my bypass now. The clam chowder tasted watered-down. Then came the $25 seafood platter for two. Most of it was fried, and really no better than the fish at Captain D's. The tartar sauce came in packages, like jam at a diner. The french fries were limp and tasteless, not even fast food quality.

And the entrees hit the table within minutes of the appetizers. The waitress explained that a large party was coming in, so the kitchen wanted to get the small parties out of the way quickly. It felt like they were rehearsing the "before" scenes for a restaurant rescue show. Does the pathetic beer list even matter? I can't imagine that anyone ever eats here twice.

On the plus side, they book some good bands. So eat somewhere else first and come late for the music.

This is the place to go if you are middle-aged, extremely trashy and racist and want to drink way more then your limit and then get into a fist-fight either in the club, outside in the parking lot or both. Your pick.
