Atlantic Restaurant proves that you should never, EVER judge a place by its front sign!

Funny story about Atlantic restaurant.

I drove by the place a few months ago and joked with my girlfriend that work wouldn't possibly send me to this kinda place. In fact, I hoped to God I would never step foot in a place like this. You know the type of place I'm talking about. Grungy, dirty looking and old in a way that doesn't even make the adventurous venture in.

Don't get me wrong I like my old-school places and there's a difference. Those who know me know that I can't stop going to those funky, been-there-since-I-was-a-kid-and-the-decor-hasn't-changed-since-'73 joints that serve up big portions and where inflation doesn't exist.

I'm talking about the ones that look so old and broken down you wonder how they possibly stay in business. The ones that look like the outside of Atlantic restaurant looks like. It turns out, work would and did send me to a place like this. I braced myself and prayed to not get food poisoning.

In the end, Atlantic turned out to be awesome! So awesome in fact that it has now become one of my new faves and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest this place to anyone looking for a casual off-the-beaten track dining experience with prices that can't be beat.
