Wooden Nickel Pub & Eateries

Wow. The food was terrible. I had brisket based on the favorable reviews of their BBQ. I could not even cut it with a knife.

I was really disappointed. In addition they were out of a lot of items. They did not even have milk.

Breakfast for lunch sometimes just seems right.

SWMBO and I had not been here for a couple of years. The place is timeless. It looks just like it did 15, 20 or 30+ years ago.

Carol went with the breakfast option: Two Eggs, O'Brien style Hash Browns, four strips of thick sliced Bacon and a Dry English Muffin. It was a gorgeous meal and the Spuds had large pieces of Red, Yellow and Green Bell  Peppers rather than the diced and mixed with the Potatoes as normally seen. Nice. She said her Decaf Coffee was good and Sara, our server, refilled it three times.

After getting a detailed description of the Fish & Chips, I opted for a half rack of St. Louis style Ribs with a salad and Rice. They were Traeger smoked with Sauce on. The short end was not very good, but as I worked my way west, the flavor and moistness improved. Their automatic release from the bone suggested they might have been pre-boiled, but I was assured this was not the case. I can't help but draw a comparison with the Traeger smoked Ribs at Half Penney, in Salem, where you get a much better product for less dough. My Salad was fresh but unimaginative with Iceberg Lettuce, a sprig or two of Arugula, two Spinach Leaves with Croutons. (Honey Mustard Dressing on the side.)

Inquiry disclosed that their Southern Fried Chicken is Broasted! I'll be back to give that a test drive soon. Broasted Chicken is becoming harder and harder to find. And, if it's good, I love the stuff.

In summation, one good and one OK meal will net W.N. a three star rating.. If the food were all as good as the service, it would max out with five. Sarah was a gem.

This was the all time worst restaurant we have ever eaten at! We visited on a Tuesday evening and seated ourselves, according to this sign. We waited for approximately fifteen minutes or more before someone even came to our table. We ordered an appetizer of fried chicken gizzards as an appetizer that were so over cooked it almost broke a tooth to chew them and were completely saturated in oil. My meal was the Prime Rib Dip. The prime rib was literally cooked until almost jerky and the dip was so salty I am still nauseated. My husband took a bite and was appalled at the quantity of salt, it was inedible. I took one bite and left the rest. My husband ordered a hamburger that came in the shape of a rectangle and was about 1/8 inch think. It had no flavor to the burger. The french fries that came with his meal were coated in something like flour but were limp and mushy inside. We paid $32 for a meal that was almost all thrown away because we couldn't eat it! Take my word for it, don't go there!!!!
