Sloan's

We stopped at Sloan's after a long day driving and were hoping for a decent dinner. What we received far exceeded our expectations.

We had hardly been seated when our waitress arrived with menus and offering to take drink orders. Not only were the drinks brought quickly, but were refilled as often as necessary during our meal.

The menu is large and looks extremely appetizing. I especially appreciated the creativity in their dishes. Instead of the same tired items that one finds on most menus, they have added spices, or ingredients to liven them up.

I chose the special of the night, which was a beef stroganoff made with prime rib. Companion ordered the pork chop which came with two sides.

In due course, a large plate appeared that was filled to the top with my stroganoff. Instead of mixing the sour cream into the gravy, they chose to put he gravy and meat on top of the noodles, and then placed a large dollop of sour cream as the crown. As crazy as it may sound, the meat was real prime rib, cut into good sized chunks, and plenty of it. I enjoyed the sour cream as an accompaniment to the dish instead of having the whole dish swimming in it.

Companion had a nice pork chop, with homemade garlic bread, mashed potatoes, and corn.

Portions are very large, and good sanitation was very apparent. Food was seasoned perfectly, and service was quick and always with a smile.

While I may have gained a pound eating this meal, it was well worth it. Highly recommended.
