I only ate one of them and it was just golden brown & delicious and crispy. <BR/><BR/>As for the Smac N Cheese, I would say it would be a 'normal' heaping portion for 2 people... I ate it all and was satisfied (not overfull or 'stuffed'..that came later after attempting to eat my half of the cake!)<BR/><BR/>I think it's a good size for the the price and really.. I think it's a lot. I think if I'd opted to order a side salad it would be too much & I'd skip dessert (travesty!). <BR/><BR/>There's another Mac N Cheese I like a bunch from Royal Clayton's.. there's a HUGE bowl which I did split and we each got 2nds from it was much too big as an entree. The Royal Claytons is a creamy mix of cheeses.. Whereas the Nickel one is as closed to Baked Mac N Cheese with it's piping hot melted cheese with rich and hearty texture. The bradcrumbs are just lightly baked ot the top and then there's a hint of tomato. <BR/><BR/>The Smac N Cheese is $8 if I recall and really a good deal. Then again I haven't found anything I haven't liked yet.. everything is yummy! Oh and breakfast.. *drool* I need to do breakfast because I *heart* the 5th and Main (potatoes w/bbq pulled pork and 2 eggs) and the pancakes are good too. I've yet to have the hangover helper but that's supposedly is the best too.MeekoRousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551589891224879887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-25484080234394255292009-02-20T14:13:00.000-08:002009-02-20T14:13:00.000-08:00Yes!

Were they spicy?<BR/><BR/>The mac-n-cheese looks good but I'm wondering about the serving size. Did you feel it was adequate for the price? Was it filling.<BR/><BR/>I would have gone for the salt peanut cake too, but I'd love to see Kristen work a blow torch.<BR/><BR/>I still don't understand why there are no outdoor tables. Dumb it down for me, Pamela, and explain why they can't have them.<BR/><BR/>As usual, you have an outstanding restaurant review. Now when am I going to see those onion rings?Joe Cornishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266386826380763370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-44293719165585698892009-02-20T13:54:00.000-08:002009-02-20T13:54:00.000-08:00Thanks Jim!

I really like the salt peanut cake so I had to have it again. <BR/><BR/>I think I get into a mini 'rut' if you will of having instant favorites and having a time edging away from it. Their salads always look so good and I've yet to try one.. Same goes for some of the desserts. <BR/><BR/>I was wondering how safe it is with a blowtorch (mini or no) in a crowded diner? ;)MeekoRousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551589891224879887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-85445101423409072802009-02-20T09:10:00.000-08:002009-02-20T09:10:00.000-08:00the s'mores cake is awesome. and the table-side to...the s'mores cake is awesome. and the table-side torching makes the whole restaurant happy.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942997556144039112noreply@blogger.com
