The Lighthouse Grill

Fun place to stop by for a meal. Always busy and always windy here for some reason, so dress warm! Worth the wait and a little cold weather if you have to sit outside. The food is great with a nice variety to the menu. The house specialty is waffle cones, filled with a variety of ingredients inside which offer a surprisingly tasty combo! My favorite is the brisket, gravy, and mashed potato combo. Worth the stop and wait!

I stayed at Trinidad and visited this restaurant for lunch before leaving. Food is good, and price is okay too. We met owner and she said it was her birthday. She is a painter as well. You could see some amazing portraits around the restaurant.

This place seems to be pretty popular, as there is almost always a line. I have to assume that it's mostly tourist traffic (people who have never been here before) or locals who simply know what, exactly, or order. My sister-in-law invited us out here, so I assume she really enjoyed the food on her previous visit. Unfortunately, nothing we received was all that good. The fries are thick-cut, but you have to eat them fast before they start to cool down, because they're soaked in oil so much so that they start going limp almost immediately. If you love oil-soggy fries that are NOT crisp at all, but are completely limp... then you'll love these style of fries. The children's "chicken fingers" or whatever they were, were absolutely nasty (my kids wouldn't even eat them). That's likely due to them being horrifically overcooked, but even if they were cooked properly they would not have been all that tasty at all -- just some flat, poorly-battered Sysco-purchased chicken things for kids. I guess they figure kids aren't that picky, which is true -- but no amount of ketchup tricked my kids into eating those things. Also, as a parent, I taste all of the food I give to my children -- and this stuff was bad (not rotten, or poisonous -- just bad as in not good at all). I almost wish I had tried a burger or the mashed potatoes, so a few people around us seemed to enjoy those. One bad thing about this style of restaurant is that you go up to a counter and order -- with a line of people behind you. That means you don't get to sit down with a menu and ask questions of the wait staff, because you have to order right then and there at the counter and pay for it. The food is then delivered to your table. So, if you're not already familiar with the menu or how things are cooked, you're either going to piss everyone behind you off, by taking up extra time to order, or you're going to just randomly order something just to try it out. If you have a large party, or multiple families, don't expect to get served at the same time. Our mother and sister-in-law's family were almost done with their meals by the time we received ours, and we were right behind them at the order counter. Just another reason I hate restaurants like this. Ordering at a counter with a menu on the wall in front of your reminds me of fast food... and if I wanted to order like that, I'd go to a restaurant good at delivering fast food instead of this place. Sorry for those who love it (for whatever reason), but it just didn't fit the bill for me or my family.
