Is it just me, or does that read like something a 10th grader would turn in for a homework assignment?

Thank god. We were all dying to know how the chicken parm was at Barcadia.

I know The Advocate probably doesn't pay these people anything except for the cost of their meal, but sheesh.

Yep. Ordered Shrimp & chicken

At least her husband got the prime rib sandwich (which I did consider getting the last time I went).

So far I've had:
both kinds of wings (excellent)
chicken & avocado club (good, but not great)
fried PB&J (f&%king fantastic)
most of the burgers on the menu (excellent, as good, if not better, than the burgers from every other restaurant in town)

I don't like their reviews. I don't pay attention to who writes what, but it seems they all go to places and order random shite that the place isn't known for.

I know kingbob joked about us saying they didn't eat the burger, but I mean, it's true.. the burgers are what they're known for. To convince those who haven't been, the burgers should probably be discussed.

Just like the chick that went to Louie's and ordered a seafood salad and chicken sandwich at 2AM and then bitched about the place.

While very much the standard brownie a la mode, Barcadia serves it super warm with a large heap of vanilla ice cream and fudge drizzles — it wasn’t mind-blowing, but it was satisfying.



Well, if it isn't mind blowing....

Haven't eaten there yet. But I went for drinks & games.

The only negative lost my credit card for 15 minutes. Then magically found it.

I've got a full weekend planned: going to go to Superior Grill and get the hamburger, order a steak at Tsunami, get a po'boy at Rotolo's, and pork from Delpit's

Rotolos has poboys? I had no idea. I'm not a fan of their regular wraps/sandwiches though.

Supposedly Pocorello's has an awesome roast beef one. I've never tried it.

I also hear the burger at Superior is pretty good. Same for the steak at Tsunami (although it's been a few years since I saw that mentioned here).

This is the same woman. Her reviews always suck.

What a horribly written review. I got a nice laugh that the reviewer thought parking was plentiful.

Their burgers are awesome (Curbside). It's definitely the best burger in town in that class (Five Guys, Fat Cow, Burgersmith, Mooyah). Doesn't hold a thumb to the burger at Flemings, but again, not the same class of burger.

I'll be happy once the hype dies down and I can actually get on a game when I go on a weekend night @ 7pm. Last two times I've gone the place has been packed.

They have the most plentiful parking of any place on that side of campus. They have a decent sized lot in the back that connects to state street. I have never had any issues finding a spot there.

I think they stack up well, but they are certainly different from Flemings.
