Q: I'm not even sure where to begin. This place is so weird! They call themselves a saloon, and from the outside, that's exactly what it looked like. They also have a sign out front that says no firearms allowed, but they have some weird iron sculptures of guns on the walls inside. Strange. Anyway, we were hungry after work, as usual, so we were looking around for something new and interesting. After giving up on searching for something closer to our current location, we gave in and decided to give this place a shot. After all, who can resist cheap food? I had to stifle laughter when we walked in. I don't know what it is, but this place gave me the giggles! We stood at the hostess table for a few minutes before we were acknowledged and then a table was cleared for us. Our drinks were brought out quickly and then we ordered. Honey Mustard Chicken Wings and Fried Mushrooms for the both of us to share, and a Turkey and Bacon grilled sandwich for me. Now, you will be sorely disappointed if you come here expecting any sort of creativity with food. This is straight up generic as it comes food, but they at least do it right. The chicken wings were piping hot, meaty, and had a pretty good flavor. I'd probably order a bolder sauce next time. The mushrooms were really strange. They were fried, but their breading was soft, and not crispy at all. I like the outsides to be crunchy, so they weren't my favorite, but I had plenty of ranch to dip them in and make things better. Now, when my sandwich came out, I stared at it and was disappointed. It just looked sad, especially with the straight from the bag wheat bread it was made with. Let me tell ya, don't judge this book by it's cover. My sandwich was packed with turkey and simply loaded with delightfully salty, crunchy bacon. It was a really good sandwich, I'm just sad that I was too full to finish it! The fries were, well, just fries. I'll probably come back to this place sometime when we're in the area again. The food is solid, the service is decent, and you cannot beat the prices. I think we got a soda, 2 apps, and 2 sandwiches all for under 20 bucks.

Q: My husband and I went there for lunch on a Sunday. The food itself was good but the service was indifferent. Many Indian restaurants bring out some complimentary papadams before even ordering. No such luck here. Pretty much the only thing that was free was the water and condiments. We tried this out after having had good luck at a couple other Indian restaurants in the area. We will be going back to those places and not returning to Tandoori Times.

A: negative

Q: It's never as good as when Mom makes it, but this buffet comes close. I like the fried bangoose and the mung beans with greens.

Q: I went to Hobe because I wanted a flank steak that was larger than the usual pound and a half specimens found in the grocery store, and although I know how to do it myself, I wanted to save myself the work and have it butterflied by the butcher. One of the men behind the counter didn't know the meaning of the term - I should have taken the hint then. But somebody in the back said that he would do it. Since it was given to me all wrapped up, I couldn't see how the butcher had butchered that piece of beef. One third had been cut almost all the way through and was hanging by a tendon. The other two thirds hadn't been cut at all. I was forced to do that part of the process, plus find a way to patch up the severed piece. This was an expensive pain-in-the-flank.
