Pudgies Pizza Fish Fry

Pudgies Pizza Fish Fry

Most if not all know of my solid dislike of Pudgies Pizza. However I do like their fish fries. Not to many places that you can feed multiple people on 1 fish fry. The first pic is before I dug the fish out of the pile of fries. You get 2 sides and 1 good sized piece of fish and then a smaller portion. Since I rolled solo on this dinner I went with the cole slaw and fries as my sides. Fish was cooked crispy but not over done. I am a fan of their cole slaw they definitely make it right.

BC's Restaurant

BC's Restaurant

Hello there! I decided I needed to do a quick little review to get myself back into the swing of things. I am currently working on another review so that one will be coming soon.  So this is a place I visited a few months back and decided to be fair, I needed to give them a second shot. So before I get into my review I would like to remind everyone that these reviews are my opinion and nothing personal. Today's review is brought to you by BC's in Elmira Heights. As I previously sa

R&J Jamaican Cuisine

R&J Jamaican Cuisine

Sorry for the delay but was a good excuse for me to have to go back and get a refresher. One thing the area is not short on is pizza shops, bars and fast food. So when I was told we had an authentic Jamaican place I was quite happy and knew it was gonna be my next review. Located on the corner of Davis and Noble Streets in Elmira is R&J Jamaican Cuisine. Small building but big plates of food. Starting with the first picture you have brown stew chicken. If you want chicken but

Julianna's Brickwood BBQ

Julianna's Brickwood BBQ

First let me say I get no kickbacks from any of the places I review. So when you see me promoting the same eateries its because I like their food.   Here is some more delicious food courtesy of Julianna's Brickwood BBQ.     The first picture is the smoked turkey melt with bacon. Good thick pieces of smoked turkey. Meat was tender, not dry at all. Can't say anything bad about bacon. This was also my first time trying sweet potato fries and honey. I don

Campus Pizza/Pizza Pick Up

Campus Pizza/Pizza Pick Up

Sorry for the long hiatus took on a new role at work and I was focused on that for a few months. I finally got the chance to try Campus Pizza/Pizza Pick Up. First and foremost I had to try the chicken wing pizza. Pizza Pick Up was always my favorite. This is the small size good for maybe 2 people perfect for 1 of me. Two for lunch and two for dinner,  I got to savor the flavor all day. I liked the sauciness most places are a bit on the dry side. I like the smaller almost shredded

Rotund Man has been a little busy lately, but he'll be out there checking out the gastronomic delights again soon. In the meantime, enjoy this review from June 2020:   I know seeing some of my recent food reviews and anyone that may have seen older reviews may think I got my fat guy stature by eating delicious fried foods and other gastronomic delights. While those are a minor contributor the real reason I can only see the tips of some toes when I look down is baked goods. So it is my

Harry's Inn

Hello everyone your friendly neighborhood fat guy bringing you another review with questionable grammar and little or no punctuation. So besides having some of the best wings in the area they have a heifer of a cheeseburger sub. Aptly named The Big Harry it was definitely a mouthful. I get it dressed mayo lettuce cheese and bacon. Burger was cooked all the way no pink which is how I like em. Bacon was good and crispy.Nice hoagie roll soft with a bit of crust. Overall a well made

Soprano's Italian Market

Soprano's Italian Market

Down in The Valley, Waverly to be precise, there is a hidden little gem of store/bakery/pizza place/a whole lot of stuff. I discovered the Sopranos about 9 years ago while working and needing lunch. I challenge anyone to walk into this place and not buy something. Lunch time is always a magical time there. They have daily specials on top of a full hot and cold sub menu. At least 6 different types of pizza. They also sell fresh pasta and pasta take and bake dishes. I am also told they have

O'Ryan's Sports Bar And Grill - Elmira Heights

A while back I decided to venture away from my usual Friday fish fry location. I went with Oryans in Elmira Heights.   On top of the fish fry we decided to try their garlic pizza.   Starting with fish. I went with the standard mac & cheese and coleslaw sides. The portions were good, the fish was not over cooked. The slaw was a bit different than what I'm used to. Most slaw that I've had is on the sweeter side. The mac & cheese was pretty standard.     I f

Harry's Inn 308 E. 14th St. Elmira Heights NY 14903 So this review is for those that like the hot stuff!! I think I have said before I do like to frequent the same spots so here is another Harrys review. After I recieved a huge settlement check from a robo calling company I decided to treat myself to some wings. I settled on the "Honey Garlic Thai Dirty Wings". While they pack a whole lot of flavor they also bring with them a butt load of hot. At one point between sweati

The Starlite Room

The Starlite Room

Let me start this review by saying I am ashamed of myself for waiting so long to give this place a try. You voted for it (mail-ins not accepted) and after a few months I am giving you my review of The Starlite Room. Right off the bat I knew I would like the place. They offer online ordering and in my opinion everyone should offer it. I can stare at the menu for hours customize my meal and I don't have to sound like a tool on the phone. So now down to business. My meal tonight wa

The Sauce Boss

The Sauce Boss

This review is definitely way out of my norm see I am not a big spaghetti guy. My pasta generally comes stuffed with cheese or meat. I am the type of guy who likes the dried out wedding reception rigatoni. So when a coworker offered up Wendys or $5.00 spaghetti lunch from The Sauce Boss. Yep you can guess by the pics where I went. So what you get is two pretty good size meatballs A very generous portion of spaghetti. Heres a first - I weighed it for sh!ts and giggles and it comes in at

Cocina del Gordo

Cocina del Gordo

Here is my review of Cocino Del Gordo located in Jubilee plaza Horseheads.   First let me tell you the place smelled amazing when I walked in. Turns out it was the Puerto Rican hot bar and the days meal.   It Comes with beans and rice and your choice of 2 meats. I went with the pepper steak and the porkchop. The steak and peppers were very tender no need for a knife. Very flavorful and my favorite of the meal. The porkchop was in a delicious "bbq" sauce with peppers and onio

On A Roll

On A Roll

A little ditty about chicken and Italian dressing... Two American favorites put together in a toasted bun. Add a little mayo lettuce and cheese put it in a container and serve it to me. If you haven't guessed it from my corny song what we have here is a chicken spiedie from On a Roll. This is one of my favorite subs always has been. Chicken was cooked right and good size sub. This was a large at around 10.00 which is well worth it. I would have liked a bit more Italian flavor in

My Eva Authentic Mexican Food Truck

My Eva Authentic Mexican Food Truck

Pictured above we have soft and hard shell beef tacos. Some rice on the plate and beans off to the side also Jarritos mexican soda. Not pictured is plain cheese nachos and steak quesadilla.  The soda was good reminds me of Squirt soda. I was told the quesadilla was good and the shell itself was good enough to eat alone. There was a good portion of nachos and plenty of cheese not spicey of you're worried about that and not the fake orange cheese. Both styles of taco were great. I did prefer
