Restaurant Review - Comfort

It was Monday around 4pm and Marie wanted to go to Bob Evans. I said good idea but lets go to Comfort. She didn't want to at first so I said look at the menu online. After she saw the Fried Green Tomatoes and Fried Okra she immediately said lets go now. I wanted something but I definitely wanted mashed potatoes.

We have been there before but every time we have been there you still can't get over how much effort they put into the decor to make it seem like a restaurant that has been there since 1952. They have old wooden buffet tables that house the silverware, that I can still not tell if they scratched the white paint off or it is really the original paint. The walls and borders all have the old dirty look that old houses have that need a paint job. But you know this is a new restaurant and they wanted that look. They also have this huge painting of an old 1950s fridge with a 6 pack of Schlitz beer, eggs, meat, etc. on the shelves. The music playing is that of old country and at a good volume level. The lighting is very cozy and low wattage.

We of course had the FGTs and the free bread basket. They have french bagets and cornbread. The cornbread was a little on the dry side but okay. I like how they give you a half of stick of real butter. That is the way we have it at home so I don't know why more places don't do it that way. I have never liked the fake butter with a tear drop of fake butter to spread on your bread, you have to open 3 of them to get a normal amount. Comfort really gets some pluses for the real half stick of butter. I had the Legend's Brown Ale and the ESB. Very good and thick but still smooth taste. Marie had a glass of white, which she enjoyed even though it was hot and had to put a couple ice cubes in her glass. The cubes were from the water that is served from the mason jars with straws.

So the main course was amazing. I had the Pork Tenderloin which was in a marinade and was very tender and juicy. The marinade was light but tasty. The mashed potatoes where good but a little too creamy. I couldn't get enough pepper out of the shakers to put on the potatoes. You could shake them all day and get 3 drops of pepper. The green beans where very good and very crispy. Marie had the Vegetable Plate and a cup of Tomato Bisque. She loved everything from the Fried Green Toms, scalloped potatoes, green beans, to the Fried Okra. We were stuffed. I thought about dessert but didn't think I could fit it in. We have chocolate from the valentine sale at Walgreens anyway.

Marie and I give it !!!!!!!!! out of 10.
