5+5= So, I finally have a chance to give you the diddy on Toby's! I really love this place, folks are really nice, it's an older crowd, not too many jitterbugs, and those younger folks are very respectful the few that were in there. The ladies running the front had their kids their, doing double duty. And I mean the women were doing the double duty, raising children and running the front. It really is a family affair. I'll post a picture of my barbecue pork sandwich and a quick catfish dinner. All delicious! Compliments to the chefs. The place is clean, people are friendly, good conversation, and a lot of laughing. I have to give them a really excellent score on atmosphere. Also, a great place to watch the game. I'm going to add this to my favorites list, along with sports bar hopping. I currently have 144 million on my views, so I don't pull any punches, and I don't give bad reviews. If I have an issue, I will wait until the next time. Everyone has bad days. But the two times that I've been there, zero bad days! Special mention to Vreszae, very kind, efficient, and very funny. Also, plenty of slots! I'm not a slots guy, but if that's your gig, you can eat good and play to your heart's content.
