I have to write about our experience(s) at Back Draft. Our first experience with food in this area was at Tim’s up at Cole Point. You have to remember that nothing is really open around here until Memorial Day and of course Monday’s were never a big restaurant day anywhere. That was where Rob recommended us go on our initial visit to his marina. Now we have a choice since it was Thursday…. and that’s Back Draft’s big special day!
Back Draft is owned by a
retire Fireman of course. Very sparse building with a restaurant on one side
and a Smoking Bar on the other! Plenty of patches from fire departments around
the walls and fire extinguishers & hydrants too.
The Thursday special is All
U-Can-Eat for $23.95! But wait, expensive you say, but I haven’t told you what
you get to eat…..
How about Shrimp fixed 3
different ways…. scampi (that means broiled with garlic & butter , fried,
or broiled OR Fish (cod, grouper, and 2 or 3 other choices) OR BBQ (ribs,
pulled pork/beef).
Good enough for me, I’ll have
scampi shrimp, Celia fried shrimp. Oh I forgot, hush puppies, & FF
included. It came and was delicious. We ate our portions and they were large
and ordered more fixed differently. After the 2nd portion I changed
to ribs and Celia quit. After ribs I went back to more shrimp fried. Not a bad
night for good food. Only problem was they had store bought pies. Seems like
the local lady who used to make their desserts, especially apple pudding, quit.
Sucks!!!
Well since the weather sent
us back here Back Draft has another special for Friday night. Steak &
Lobster. Back in the truck, back to Back Draft. Lobster looked huge but meat
was meager. Steak was filet m. and very good.
