Combine the Fuel and Fuddle-ish humorous takes on food names and the atmosphere of T.G.I. Friday's, and you have the Double Wide Grill. But is this a good thing?
After hearing about the wide selection of taps and bounty of veggie friendly food on the menu, I was sold on giving the Double Wide Grill a try. Nate and I met 4 friends there on a Saturday evening - we arrived early to put our names on the list since it was, after all, a weekend in the South Side and we assumed the place would be busy. However, there was no line at all and we were seated right away. I had the seitan wings and tofu skewers. I was highly impressed by the seitan wings and would have been fine with ending my meal right there, to tell you the truth. But, I wanted an entree as well, so along came the skewers. At $14 for this plate, I was not all that impressed. Sure it filled me up and was well presented, but definitely not $14 worth. I'm not sure that anyone at my table was overly impressed with their meals after the appetizers were finished.
Despite the mediocre entree, I was still itching to go back to the Double Wide Grill after my first encounter. I salivated every time I thought about those damn seitan wings for about a month, and I was finally able to round up the troops to make another trip back. This time I declared that I was getting only an appetizer and a salad. This seemed to be a better choice.
My overall impression of the Double Wide Grill is that it is overpriced and the atmosphere definitely does not mesh well with these high prices. When my waitress is wearing a gas station workshirt, I don't expect to pay much more than $10 for an entree. The beer selection is certainly above average, so I would go here for the appetizers and the drinks, but I'd skip the entree. In fact, I'd go here sooner than later, because I have a feeling this somewhat out-of-place restaurant is not going to last long in the South Side.
