3 /5 debra ann williams: I was really excited to try the new B. Merrell’s location in Midland. We went on Sunday around 2 p.m. and ordered one smothered chicken lunch portion and one dinner portion. The dinner plate only came with about half a chicken breast more than the lunch and didn’t feel worth the extra cost.
Both meals came with the same portion of sides. We chose steamed broccoli, but it had no seasoning and was so undercooked it was difficult to cut with a knife. The mac and cheese was bland, mushy, and even served cold (see photo). The only highlight was the sweet potato waffle fries my grandson ordered—they were good, but they added $1 extra to the dinner.
We ate inside, but the seating was very uncomfortable. The chair backs hit awkwardly at my waist and leaned back at an odd angle. On top of that, we were seated near the patio door, where traffic was tight even though the restaurant wasn’t busy.
Overall, I left disappointed. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return or recommend this location.
