This past week we went to lunch at Ernie's in Plymouth.
The food was alright. I ordered the artichoke Parmesan appetizer. It again was OK. the sauce was overly sweet. The breading which was scarce at best, fell off the artichoke pieces. There was a lot of cheese but the enormous amounts of sauce and poorly cooked artichoke overpowered this dish. For $6.95 I would skip this dish entirely.
I had liver and onions. A standby favorite of mine. It came with mashed potatoes and pickled beets. The beets were neither warm nor cold and kind of just sat there in your mouth. I prefer mine cold. The mashed potatoes were a good consistency and texture. However I detected no milk or butter present. They were rather flat tasting and even adding salt and pepper on my plate did little to help them. The liver was over cooked and dryer than it should have been, however the flavor was good and it was smothered in onions. There was also a slice of bacon on the liver which was mushy and undercooked. For $6.99 this dish was passable, but not fantastic.
I also had a slice of egg plant pizza. The sauce again was the same syrupy variety used in the appetizer. There was a good amount of cheese and eggplant on each slice, and both had a good flavor. However the crust was thin and flavorless. Not the best pizza, however not the worst.
Also our waitress seemed bothered by our presence and rather cranky. She at once point snapped at one of our table guests, when she tried to inject that we would be splitting the appetizer and I believe she even rolled her eyes when I asked for a box.
They lacked in wine options but had several beers on tap.
Personally, there are far better places to eat in Plymouth. try one of them instead!

Just Ray's Fairhaven
I've been there a ton of times and every time has been great.
This time my family and I went there for breakfast. The menu is standard fare for the local eateries. However the special board is always covered in amazing creations. Also the staff is very helpful when dealing with the multiple food allergies my family has and when I loose my keys.
I ordered the brandy cream lobster omelet. It was stuffed full of large lobster pieces and covered in the savory and delicate sauce.The eggs were cooked perfectly as was the lobster. The home fries here are always sure to please. Just the right blend of spice with perfectly cooked potatoes are a treat. The omelet was also only $9.99 which was a great deal
My oldest son ordered the french toast. Again FANTASTIC. Ray seems to have found the perfect balance between bread and eggs. The slices were thick and slightly sweet without being too sweet or overwhelming. You could taste the eggs without them overwhelming the flavors from the bread and cinnamon.
Kayla ordered the Belgian waffles without the fruit or syrup. fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. covered in butter and powdered sugar.Unlike a lot of waffles you get at restaurants these were not heavy sit in your belly waffles.
The service was wonderful as always with the waitress bringing us extra creams (since Sammy drank them)bowls of powdered sugar (since my boys can't have imitation syrup) and my coffee cup was always filled!
Since Sammy is gluten free we ordered him the fruit cup, and one for Nate as well. Fantastic presentation that makes you want to eat it. A plate underneath leaves you space to cut the grapes for the younger kids. Also Sammy brought a gluten free bagel with him and they grilled it for him without any issue following my directions on how to keep it Sammy safe.
Daniel had a linguica roll.Plenty of linguica and cheese grilled and warm through out, with a perfect golden brown crust.He also shared my morcala. Which for those not from the area is a Portuguese sausage. Morcala can be easily overcooked and inedible, not a problem at Ray's.
AJ got an asagio cheese bagel with extra cream cheese. It was Big... really big. AJ also got a side order of hash. flavorful and grilled so that small crispy pieces were present in every bite.
Chelsy also had her own corned beef hash and an order of pancakes. Light, fluffy and enormous, tons of flavor! Smothered in butter and powdered sugar.
All the kids ordered juice and Daniel and I had coffee (which comes with most meals)
Our bill came to about 55$ before tip which for8 people is a great deal for amazing food!
If your in Fairhaven,MA check out Just Ray's on Main Street. They have a cool new awning, you cant...and shouldn't miss it!
