Papa Stewies' Blackstone, MA: 75/351

I broke my rule against eating at "cash only" establishments, I couldn't resist a tiny, hole in the wall place. Officially my smallest to date...18 seats. In theory you would think a small joint would be able to use fresh, quality ingredients and prepare each meal with some innate goodness. NOT worth breaking the rule.

Quantity does not trump quality. I got about 1 pound of hash....was a step above dog food! So much for "homemade". They didn't offer any eggs Bene's, so I had an omelet. Paper thin with barely ripe tomatoes. Homefries were greasy and lame...couldn't exactly determine if they were red bliss. Weak coffee.

IMHO the main problem with places like this....is there are a ton of  locals/regulars that are friendly with owner/chef and they don't have the balls to tell him that the food is lousy. Either that, everyone that eats here doesn't give a rat's ass about taste.

Huge "Nay!"
