We were super excited to try out Charlie Creek for the very first time. Upon our arrival, I was really impressed with how upscale and fancy it felt. We were treated like king and queen as we were sad at our table. We ordered an appetizer of fried green tomatoes, and a few minutes later the waitress came back and said they were out of tomatoes. Then we ordered the spinach artichoke dip, which was superb. It was probably one of the best I’ve ever had besides my sister Monica’s recipe around the holidays when she makes it. We ordered our entrées. Angela ordered the catfish dinner, and I ordered the pork chop. The waitress said, I’m sorry we are also out of pork chops. I said, what do you have that is available tonight as it seemed like everything we wanted, they were out of. So I ordered shrimp scampi. Thankfully they were not out of shrimp scampi. When they brought out our dishes, I was very disappointed in the size of my portion. It was smaller than a child’s portion. Angela’s fish looked good, but she said the taste of the catfish was really dirty like it came from a river. When I tried the first bite of my scampi, it wasn’t really shrimp scampi. I’m not sure what kind of sauce they use, but it was absolutely no flavor to it except for salt. It felt like they poured the entire salt shaker into my dish. I literally could not eat it. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal that I could not eat. Angela could also not eat her dinner because of the horrible dirty taste it had. They took our plates away and they didn’t charge us for those meals, but we did get charged for the spinach artichoke dip which is totally fine and we left the waitress a fair tip. I doubt we ever ever go back to this place. Very disappointing.
