I love to try new places when traveling and my wife was interested in something \"mild.\"\nFrom their menu on the web it looked like Mahoney's Restaurant had a good selection of American favorites.\n\nThe restaurant was close to our hotel so we walked over and go there about 5:30 pm on a Thursday. It is a bar with larger dinning room, we were seated in a private booth, which was nice because they had a curtain between the booths so it was a nice secluded place to enjoy a meal... I just wish I had enjoyed the meal.\n\nMy wife and I were the only people in the bar/restaurant. We were waited on immediately and our service was good.\n\nWhile the web site is nice, their menu in the restaurant's printed menu was almost impossible to read. I do not know know who picked the font but the number one rule when picking a font is to make it legible. I liked the fact they had descriptions with each menu item but trying to comprehend the message while reading \"through\" the font was not fun.\n\nMy wife picked the cheese burger and fries. I picked the fish sandwich and sweat potato fries but then changed to plan fries when I learn they put sugar on the sweet potato fries, it was nice of the server to let me know this information.\n\nFood came out quickly. The fries were home-style with skins on and they tasted just like my homemade fries, greasy and soggy. I love fires but I did not finish mine.\n\nMy wifes burger was cooked well done as she liked them and she was afraid it would be dry but it was not she liked it and she liked the crispy toasted bun.\n\nMy fish sandwich was in one word \"yuk.\" I have never seen fish that thin. It came with a tiny drop of tarter sauce in a plastic container, I asked for more when the sandwich was served and got one more drop of sauce, which might have been enough if the fish had not been so over-cooked that parts of it could not be chewed and swallowed.\n\nI had to keep picking out hard, long stands of fish from my mouth as I tried to eat the fish. There was one long piece of fish and one about 1/2 the length of the other, the perfect amount of fish. The breading was well flavored but the fish was so over-cooked I did not enjoy it. Our serve was nice to refill our drinks but he did not come back to ask if we need anything so I could not ask for more sauce, I used ketchup to try to finish the meal. I know there is a balance of giving dinners privacy and service, so I do not blame the server for not coming back to ask how things were going. He did bring the bill and process the bill quickly at the end of the meal but never did ask, \"how was everything.\" Good thing he did not ask because I tell the truth when asked.\n\nWhen we left there was only 2 other couples in the place and I think one was related to the owners.\n\nI will not be back and if you have other choices, I think I would recommend trying them before Mahoney's Restaurant.\n\nBecause my wife enjoyed her burger I can not give them one star but if you get a burger skip the fries and go for some other side. Their prices are very affordable.
