Romano Crusted Whitefish at Sullivan’s
It was New Years Eve 2009 and we decided to check out the food at Sullivan’s Restaurant on Gratiot Avenue in Saginaw. Sullivan’s had a special menu for the evening. This was nice because the place was packed and it allowed the kitchen to get the food out quickly for those who wanted to eat and get to another venue.
I chose the Romano Crusted Whitefish. The dinner included a choice of potato, salad bar and fresh baked bread. My choice of potato was mashed and I asked for a side of sour cream to go with them.
The meal started with a trip to the salad bar. The salad bar is not huge but has a good selection which included peas and peanuts, two pasta salads, cole slaw, potato salad, garlic toast with cheese spread and a few other items. The peas and peanuts is highly recommended!
Service was quick and the food arrived hot! The crispy romano crust kept the fish moist and firm and was not soggy at all. Overall the blend of the cheese and fish was pleasant so that the flavor was neither fishy nor bitter.
I had ordered a site of sour cream for my potatoes no knowing that they were going to be served with gravy. The mashed potatoes were real and the gravy was not to heavy.
Overall the meal was fantastic and is highly recommended.
Meal Price: $14.95 (not including beverage, tax or tip)
Vegetarian Burrito at Tony’s
When eating at a Tony’s restaurant around the Great Lakes Bay area remember that they are all owned by different people and the menu will vary from one Tony’s location to the next. This review is of the vegetarian burrito at the Tony’s on Fashion Square Boulevard across from the Saginaw Mall.
As with everything at this Tony’s restaurant . . . the burrito is HUGE! My wife and I were going to just split one then we decided that if we each got one we would have lunch for the following work day also.
The vegetarian burrito is packed with beans, lettuce, onions and green pepper. The burrito is topped off with a brown sauce, more cheese and a plethora of corn chips. It is also served with a side of salsa (mild to me) and sour cream.
I consider this a budget meal. For two people with water our total bill with tip was under $20. Plus both my wife and I took at least half of the burrito home for the next day.

Coney Dog at Guido’s
I had a co-worker take me out to lunch today. He used to get coney dogs from Guido’s in Bay City and bring them in for everyone at work, but today we decided to go there. Guido’s is a very busy little restaurant on Lafayette Ave just east of the river. There is a limited amount of seating with booths on the streat side and a few tables on the other side of the restaurant.
The coney lunch included two dogs and fries for $3.75 with a Pepsi this is a great lunch for under $5. The service at Guido’s is pleasant and fast. The dogs were quality Koegel viennas. The coney sauce was thick and didn’t drip or make the bun soggy.
