"my family and I had lunch recently. our meals were a mixture of good and bad. the good one, the waitress was nice. it was very crowded and there was a waiting time to get a table, but it helped speed up our service and got all our orders correctly. one had the fried seafood combo and enjoyed most of it. I had the boiled seafood combo. the scallops were so overcooked that they tasted like hard rubber balls and were browned on one side and raw to look on the other. unbelievable. the garnels were very chewing, but the taste was good. the salmon was dry. the filled flounder was overcooked, but the crumb filling was very delicious. both meals came with salates and two sides. the salads looked good, except the huge, gum-like gurches, but we couldn't eat them after the first bite. the crumbs were very stiff and our two dresses were terrible. one of us asked for ranch and the other around thousand island. both simply lubricated like a simple mayo. the sides were kartoffels, pommes, kartoffelsalat and coleslaw. the koleslaw was only a dry baptism cauliflower without dressing on it. the potato salad had hard, only partially boiled potato in it. it could not be eaten either. the fries were beautiful and crispy. the kartoffels were a tiny part, but it tasted good. we wanted Hollandaise sauce to dip our food. it was split, but the taste was very good as soon as I added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. another member of our party ordered a omelet that was in order. it came with oash-browns that looked like tough, boiled kartoffels. they weren't even tanned. another product that was not eaten. we asked what the desserts were, but none of them sounded tempting. the same few boring cakes that everyone seems to have diner. I tried to be specific, because I wish I could recommend this restaurant. it would have been a good meal if the chef only had a little food. this crab filling could be good enough to go back. I just hope that the fish he's coming will be cooked right next time."

"We used to love the Fat Tomato. It was our go to eat out location. We?ve been going since 2008. Back in the day, the daily soups were to die for and you couldn?t go wrong with any dish. My kids would look forward to times when we would go there for dinner. However in recent years, the costs have gone way up and the portion sizes and quality down. But this isn?t the biggest knock on The Fat Tomato. Their greatest misstep is that they are no longer family friendly. There is no kid menu. When you bring your kids, they are required to order off the adult menu. They are not allowed to even have a piece of pizza as their entree. My kids used to love when we would go and be excited with the grilled cheese and French fries while us parents would enjoy an excellent meal. There is little on the menu that they are interested in. Tonight we went for what is likely our last time. $18 for the calamari appetizer. We were stunned to see less than a cup of calamari on the plate. They used to have an excellent calamari appetizer with twice as much food for half the price and the quality was better. My kids each ordered an adult pasta dish (they are both small children) and of course there is no Children?s menu and they don?t want the same thing so they can?t share. $15 for each of their plates that they barely ate. I?m sad that today marked the end of an era for us. I will miss all the great meals we had there. All of the homemade soups that we would call to see what was todays special. The homemade desserts that were excellent. And of course the dishes that were really good that had us wanting to come back over and over. I guess it was good while it lasted."
