Toby's

Toby's Supper club is a small little place north of McFarland. We went at 5:30 on a Wednesday so we could get in easily. We were wrong. It was packed. You get drinks at the bar and they take your order while you wait. Then when a table is ready they get you there with your food. Mayor Soglin was there, so we figured it must be good enough for us. We got Old Fashioneds as they had a very poor beer selection, and it was a super club after all.

When you get to the table you are greeted by an interesting group of foods. They have a relish tray, a tray of pickles, and assorted breads. The salad was ready to go for us when we got there (iceberg and some carrot strips). The highlight though was 5 well iced cinnamon rolls. They were room temp, but fresh and delicious,

I got the T-bone Medium rare and it was cooked correctly. It was however more bone than T. Not a lot of meat for a 16oz cut. It wasn't especially good meat either. The Hashbrowns were fine, but nothing spectacular. They were crispy on the outside but there wan't any difference between what they do and Dennys.

The bathroom was fascinating. They had a sink immediately as you walked in on the left. Further down were 2 urinals on the right. Past the sink was the toilet, but no stall. If you were sitting on the toilet you would be watching the asses of the guys pissing in the urinals. This lead to several quite interesting theoretical toilet scenario questions that I always love for dinner conversation.

I give this place a C+. Similar to Outback. It was inexpensive- 22$ with everything included except drinks. You get what you pay for. It was fine, but nothing special.
