Country Pride — Restaurant in Bridgeport Charter Township

This was one of the few places open on Christmas when the family decided it would be best that we go out for a meal. They had some memories of some good meals here long ago when my wife was a child. We checked out the menu online and looked at the average rating, and decided to load up and head out. We arrive to a halfway filled seat yourself situation where the staff spend at least a half hour talking to each other over your table before they acknowledge your table. I don't know about other food items here, but I can definitely say to avoid the fish fry. Before ordering it I asked if the whitefish southern breading was real southern style (cornmeal, flower, pepper, etc) I was told that it was just flower, so I decided to go with the regular fish fry with seasoned fries. They have this seasoning salt mix on the tables, seasoned fries are crinkle cut fries with this sprinkled on, just FYI. The fish is actually kind of southern style, but only if your corn meal is so old and so reduced to powder that it is better classified as yellow talcum or heavily processed sawdust, maybe even mill tailings. The fish meat seemed to potentially be Pollack, but honestly from it's texture I would say that the good meat was cut off over a bigger fish and the remaining girly stuff on the bones was just pulled off in a filet style and then frozen for several years before being breaded with the sawdust and fried in a vat of everything else fried there. It was simultaneously dry and greasy... It smelled like cheap cat food and yet somehow didn't manage to actually have much flavour at all despite the bad odor. Normal restaurant operation calls for a formula of pricing your food 3x cost of materials. If this was even 6x at the cost of $9 I would be amazed. With sodas and a tip for the waitress who did seem to be working hard despite anything else my wife and I's bill came to $29, we only ate fries and drank a single glass of soda each. I will never be returning to this place again after this experience, and I highly recommend you avoid it unless you know they have something that is actually good... Oh and to not be wasteful we brought the fish home to feed top some nearby feral cats, they didn't eat...

Went in and ate dinner 2 nights ago and received 25% discount for being a veteran. went back in for lunch the next day and was told by the manager, I could not receive the discount because I was not in a uniform. I didn't complain, just didn't tip. I'll never return, just shows how no one is on the same page. 99% of the truck stops around the country give a discount to vets even if its not veterans day but there's always one that can't recognize vets. What a shame!!!

Truckers in general don't get enough recognition as it is but those that serve and protect past, future and present should be recognized every day.

So ONLY active military get recognized on a daily basis? and those that served only get recognized once a year?. All I'm saying is that location should follow what their other locations do around the country even if it not a holiday ( ALL VETS GET SOME KIND OF A DISCOUNT 10% - 25% ALL BASED ON LOCATION) should Honor everyone related to the military with a valid ID even if it's NOT a holiday.

IM NOT COMPLAINING BECAUSE IM CHEAP IM COMPLAINING SOULEY...

Ordered breakfast takeout to the tune of $63 for multiple individuals. Evidently, the restaurant had discontinued something as basic as a farmer's omelet (unless you wanted to build one a la carte for $17!), so I opted for a traditional breakfast with eggs sunny side up. They were so undercooked that the whites were visibly runny, and everybody's sausage was pink. I had to microwave the eggs for 2 minutes just to make them edible. The restaurant staff tried to dismiss the sausage as being naturally pink. Really. It was no longer pink once it was microwaved. The biscuit did not have any flavor and fell apart when you tried to pick it up. I threw mine away. Not one of us was pleased with our breakfast, and we won't be going there again...
