My husband and I like it a lot. We've been there three times, all this past month -- every time we ate in the cozy downstairs lounge, as it was the only room open. Between 5:00 and 6:00 they have four early bird dinners for $9.95, so that's when we went.

The first time, I had their famous steak tips because they had been recommended by a friend, and I didn't care for them -- too highly flavored for my taste. Also didn't like their signature "rustic mashed" potatoes either. My husband had the baked stuffed haddock, which he loved, and he really liked those potatoes that I didn't like.

The next time, my husband had the haddock again because he liked it so much, and I had the chicken and broccoli Alfredo, which I thought was great.

The last time, my husband had a Caesar salad topped with grilled salmon and I had chicken parmesan -- both very good. His salad wasn't an early bird, but at $12.99 we thought it a good value nonetheless -- the filet was huge and flavorful.

The service is friendly, the portions are large, and the food is good and reasonably priced, if you get an early bird or a salad with meat or fish on top. My only complaint is that the side salad comes on a tiny plate which allows no room for cutting it up, which you have to do because the chunks of veggies are too large to manage. The last time we ate there I remembered to ask for a larger dish, they brought it, and no more problem.

All in all, we both would recommend it. But don't go by us -- we still like the Tamarack Drive-In !!
