Good Food – Good Deal. I go to this place at least once a week. Home cooking, large menu and really good prices. I can tell the servers know many of the regulars well so that is always a good sign. Cute decor and clean!!! You usually get dated and dingy when it comes to little family restaurants and that was NOT the case. Loved the chicken el greco dinner and am working my way down the menu. The fish-n-chips on Fridays is great and many of the specials not on the menu like Shepards Pie, Stuffed Cabbage,Beef Tips & Noodles I stop in for after work when I don’t feel like cooking. Good breakfasts too!
Decent portions make a good value. This is a strip mall dining location. Walking up, there are two, two tops made of metal outside that need love. There are various paper signs in the windows and on the doors and none of them caught my eye. Just inside is a small bar like structure that doubles as a hostess stand and checkout counter. They take plastic including AMEX. The dcor inside is not much to brag about with nothing truly of interest to look at. The lighting must have been adequate as it did not catch my attention but clearly wasnt fancy either. The booth was comfortable. Service seemed quite attentive although it started off a bit odd to me by the server fiving us an order ticket with the daily specials handwritten on it. When I opened the menu, I was taken aback by the ridiculous amount of food listed. As I have said and learned from many reality restaurant shows on TV and in my own travels, this is NEVER a good thing. Three out of the four of us ordered from the daily special menu. My wife and I ordered the wedding soup, chicken kabobs/skewers with yellow rice, Greek salad, pita bread and dessert for $8.95 (Awesome deal). The soup was NOT Italian wedding soup as it lacked much in the way of spinach and had no meatballs at all. In its place was chicken. The flavor was decent but I would call it a fancy chicken soup. As for the entre, the chicken was seasoned well; the vegetables on the skewers (two) were crisp and seemed fresh. The rice was cooked well and a generous portion. The salad lacked potato salad and therefore in my opinion could not truly be called a Greek salad. It did however contain 4 small Kalamata olives and the dressing was splendid. For dessert I was offered rice pudding, red jello, or tapioca, I chose the tapioca. It was a little runny but not bad. My wife chose the rice pudding which was dry and far too solid. The other entrees of tuna salad and manicotti were not bad either and contained decent portions. The tuna was surrounded on its square plate with lots of cantaloupe and melon and a few straw berries, all fresh. The manicotti seemed a bit runny and looked pretty bad but the guest seemed to like it all the same. Personally my wife and I fared much better as expected with the special of the day. This is a solid good deal especially for the price and I will be back to order the special of the day until they make the menu have 20 items or less.
Bad, Bad, Bad. I have eaten at many resturants in Pinellas County. But this is amoung the worst. I had a stuffed Pork Chop, the pork was not bad , the stuffing tasted like plain bread. The mashed potatoes were not bad. The green beans were the only thing on the plate that wasn’t smothered in beef gravy. I hate gravy, but I wasn’t ask if I wanted garvy or not. I will never go back nor will I recommend it to anyone……..P
LINDAKAY. We have eaten there three times and all three times it was awesome, great food and atmosphere as well, the only thing my husband wanted different were no lumps in his mashed potatoes, but other than that–YUMMMMMM! I MIGHT HAVE TO GO THERE RIGHT NOW!
The Square Plate Restaurant is great!. Wonderful food, fabulous service and great value! The staff are very friendly and efficient and truly make you feel welcome.
