Bloomin' Onion — Restaurant in Barrett Township

The summary: I would go again, but only if someone was paying for me. I would not take someone here nor recommend it to others.

I went here with my parents for dinner. It's a pretty small place, but it has a nice cozy feel. It's homey as well, with a casual feel to it.

The staff were all very pleasant and the menu, while not expansive, was well rounded. As an appetizer I ordered their easy muscles in scampi sauce. The muscles themselves were quite fresh and tasty, though I was less enthused with the sauce itself.

The salad bar was well maintained and had fresh ingredients, but their homemade italian was more oil than anything else.

For dinner I had one of their pork milanese(sp?), my mother had their fettucine alfredo with shrimp, and my father had Eve's Chicken. My father stated his dish was "good" and left it at that. My mother was disappointed in her dish, saying "the shrimp were tiny... the fettucine was undercooked (for my taste), and the sauce was out of a jar".

I, for my part, was not a fan of my dish. The pork was cooked very well but the breading was unflavored, it seemed. Having a squeeze of lemon on top was not enough to make it interesting to my taste buds. The pasta with red sauce I got as my side was similarly bland, though the carrots for my vegetable were quite tasty.

This all being said, the bill totaled $89.00 for the three of us and my one dessert. The price, coupled with the well-made but incredibly boring dishes is why I only gave it...

Went last night during our stay in the area. Small but quaint restaurant. I recommend calling ahead and reserving a table because it fills quickly. We wanted to order their namesake "Blooming Onion" But it wasn't available because of supply problems due to everything going on in the world today. But I'm sure if they had it, it would've been good... just going by the quality of the rest of our meal. I went for something I've never had before, the Jaeger schnitzel. Now, I'll be totally honest. I wish I could've taken a hundred plates of that home with me. It was the most tender and flavorful meat I've ever had along with that gravy and would make the two hour drive again just for that!!!! The homemade noodles that were served with it were amazing as well and served with fresh well prepared and not overcooked green beans. Also took a pizza to go for the kids and that was very good as well! Service and prices were spot on. For the caliber of food and portion sizes it...

I've experienced the cuisine twice as a sit down meal. The veal I had was unedible and my dates chicken dish was completely swimming in marinara sauce. We decided to give them another chance and this time ordering a pot pie that looked and tasted like luke warm Campbell's veggie soup without the chicken and also tried a stuffed shell dish that tasted horrible and like rubber. I did get to try a slice of pizza that was good and their appetizers are alright as well as the sallad bar. I would stay away from the soups unless it's french onion or chicken noodle. Overall I would rate 2 stars because for the price they charge the food is seriously lacking. I'm not sure on how the takeout food is but it is much more affordable and probably a better option. I have heard that the steaks and the Italian sausage dishes were very good. If they shrunk the menu some and worked on quality I think they would be...
