Fat Edd's, Brodies and Havisham

With no grandkids yesterday and Lisa feeling much better we finally managed a little day trip down to Metropolis.  Not being a fan of interstates we kept to the back roads on the way down and then a different way on the way back.
It's been a while since we've been to Fat Edds and Mike picked it since the rest of us have been there and he wanted to give it a try.  The visit got of to an inauspicious start when Mike didn't like the logos design and couldn't find a menu since he was sitting with his back to it but it turned around in a hurry. 
It didn't help when I ordered mushrooms and hushpuppies as appetizers and they didn't get the hushpuppies part.  We then ordered their shrimp and awesome cocktail sauce.  Lisa got chili, Debbie got a smash burger, Mike got pulled pork and I got chicken kabobs.
The mushrooms were excellent, I'd rate them as good as anywhere in the area.  Of course the peel and eat shrimp is great and the sauce is too but had a little more horseradish taste than I remember.  My chicken kabob was okay, nothing special.  Everyone liked what they got and I'd say the smash burger looked very good.  It was nice to get back down there.
We stopped at a p[ace in AJ that we hadn't seen before called Brodies.  It had a really nice interior and also a beer garden that looked good. No drafts there though but a decent selection of bottles and cans.  Mike ordered captain and diet then found out they had his favorite Sailor Jerrys, it might be the first time he didn't ask if they had it.
We then stopped at Havisham for a quick drink.  It's not really my type of place but it's okay for every once in a while. Then off to home.
