Ernies, PLYMOUTH, MA

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!
