Evans Prairie...stilll good?
 
Was wondering if Evans Prairie is still living up to the hype surrounding their grand opening? We had a nice meal there about 2 weeks after they opened; has anyone been there lately? Have they tweaked the menu a bit? Thanks for any and all input.

Hubby and I ate dinner there last night (third time). We enjoyed the food and service was good. Coffee was good too.
No "tweaks in the menu" that I noticed.

All good

We ate there twice this month. Great service and good food both times!

There last night, no problems for us either!

Sort of off the thread, but can anyone tell me how many and how big tv screens there may be at Evans Prairie. I have visitors due in on Super Bowl Sunday and was thinking of going to EP for dinner, but was hoping to avoid a "sports bar" atmosphere! :pepper2:

Heretical attitude, I know, but there're one or two folk who don't really care!

I ate there Sunday and had the Southwestern Chicken Pasta. It was terrific. The other three in my party said their food was good, too. Unfortunately, we got there right after 3 large parties had ordered and over 100 dinners were sent to the kitchen at the same time. Considering that, the wait was reasonable but it was long.

Was there about 5:30 today, sat at the bar I was surprised lot of empty seats and no wait for a table. Had a patty melt with coleslaw. Sandwich was very good but the coleslaw was OUTSTANDING!

We were there Sat. with a large group, 30 people for lunch, service was outstanding, staff could not be more helpful, and the food was great!!!1 They worked with us to set it up, and followed thru the day of the luncheon. Kudos to all Jose, Eddie, servers, Mandi, and Britney!!!

I was there last week and had the first really good burger I've had since moving here 3 1/2 years ago. The fries weren't great but the burger was terrific.

My friends and I ended up there at 6:00pm on Sunday Super Bowl Day. As anticipated the crowd was fairly minimal - absolutely no waiting time.

Service was attentive and quick. My top sirloin was cooked to order, but was a bit tough. One of my friends had the pineapple teriyaki salmon and raved. The other had the pork tenderloin and also raved.

We elected to sit inside, as it was fairly chilly, but realized later that the "outside" has overhead heaters, which would probably have made it comfortable. The view is really wonderful!

I will definitely go again!

Had the turkey,apple,bacon wrap and once again it was very good. As I said before the cold slaw is excellent. Nice view from the bar also.

Villageswimmer 02-09-2013 07:40 PM

I thought the staff was excellent. Love the salmon blt. Don't order onion rings. I'm betting they're frozen.

Bobalu and Jack performed there super bowl Sunday in the afternoon.Food and singing were both very good.

I had lunch at Evans Prairie Tuesday and ordered country fried steak. The white sauce was overly peppery. The last time I ordered this item they didn't put much white sauce on it but I don't remember if it was that peppery. This time I asked for more white sauce. Today I went for lunch and ordered the shepherds pie. I was very good. I had german chocolate cake for dessert and that was also very good. All 3 times that I went to Evans Prairie the wait staff was excellent.

We are building in Pinellas Place and are glad to have a place close to our new home that has good food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices..Have eaten there 4 times and haven't been disappointed..:bigbow:

Just a quick note....Evan's Prarie has the best home made potato chips I've ever had. Hubby and I enjoyed them so much, we ordered a side order and dipped the chips in Ranch dressing. OMG....so good.

We had lunch there today and everyone at our table was very, very satisfied with what they'd ordered. Also, the waiter was right there with service and did a great job!

Not only will you enjoy the food the ambiance is spectacular. When I was there we watched the abundant bird life in the wetlands. Very pleasant.

We went to Evans Prarie on Saturday night and though it was not mobbed, the service was rather slow and the food only so so. Not awful enough to complain, but very ordinary. My previous dining experiences there were good. I just will not order the orange glazed pork tenderloin again. Instead of tenderloin it was a thick and rather dry piece of pork loin. The orange glaze was delicious. I brought most of it home and I made a great stir fry last night out of the leftover meat. Like I said, every other time it was excellent. A place can always have an off night, or a goof in the kitchen. I love the view from the patio, and I love that it is non-smoking. I sure wish more outdoor venues were too. It is nice to sit out in the fresh air and not have smoke drift into your area.

Had the same experience the Saturday before only mine was a dried up piece of chicken breast and they were mobbed. I also love the ambiance, but probably won't go back because that is 2nd bad meal there and it is just to hard to hear anyone with their acoustics unless you're in a booth.

I did not like the burger at Evans Prairie but then I didn't like the burger at 5 Guys. I guess I am a burger snob and didn't even know it

villagerjack 02-25-2013 04:19 PM

The Shepards Pie was goo but the size of an appetizer.

Chazz 02-26-2013 08:45 PM

Been there 6 times, including tonight. Each time it was very good. All the members of our party were pleased, as well.
