For us, the country clubs are what I call "generic" food, not great but not bad - just OK. On Thanksgiving, we went to Fishermans Restaurant on the 44 towards Inverness, a little whole-in-the-wall place that doesn't look like much from the outside but has the best food. I had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, salad, hush puppies, cranberry sauce, corn and bread for $13.95. Everything was delish, which is rare to find.
As for Palmer's, I haven't been there in over 3 years after a bad experience with terrible food at a high price. From what I hear from people, things haven't changed much.
I feel it is important to support the one-of-a-kind restaurants we have locally or all we'll be left with is the chain places. As for the country clubs, they will keep producing so-so food at prices I find too high for the quality, even Lopez.
