horrible lunch. after a busy day of shopping, we decided to try out baumhower's restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. well, that was a bad idea. for starters we had the salsa and chips. themenustates fresh homemade salsa (thats not what you get!!! it might have been fresh out of the jar) as for the chips, they were slightly stale or more likely straight out of a bag.
i opted for the wings which were actually quite good. overly priced for what you get but not bad tasting. now for the less than pleasant part of our meal.
rachel had the a side salad drowned in dressing after she requested the dressing on the side ( servers pay attention to your customers). as for her main course, rachel had fish & grits described as (caribbean-grilled fish perfectly seasoned, then gently grilled to tender perfection and served with our homemade alabama stone-ground grits of the day with stewed okra & tomatoes.) well, that's not what you get. the fish was old and over-cooked, lacking in flavor or taste. as for the grits, i'm not sure how you can ruin something so simple. i guess when you cook them hours before hand it kills the flavor. the okra and tomatoes, way more tomatoes than okra i guess it should have said tomatoes with a okra side.
lastly the restaurant was like having lunch in a sauna, excessively hot in the dining area. even though our server deja was a very pleasant and professional individual, service was quite slow.
if you opt to dine at baumhower's be sure to make sure the prices your charged match whats on the menu, because ours didn't. our server had to clear it with the manager (who never came out when there was a problem)
to correct out ticket.
baumhower's you've lost two new people to huntsville who will not be back.
