We were super impressed with food at the event that we had to track down the caterer. That&#8217;s how we found out about Meddys. <\/p>\n<p>We try not to eat out too often but we&#8217;ve been really lazy about cooking at home the last few months and it&#8217;s hard to resist a good hummus. LOL. Plus, it&#8217;s located in our section of town so we couldn&#8217;t not check it out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some pictures of the restaurant:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/15847138422\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching Brubaker, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7557\/15847138422_a870a7ee13.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/15845769051\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching Brubaker, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8666\/15845769051_dbb91999bb.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/15661989957\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching Brubaker, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7486\/15661989957_48ddd3e997.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What I like most about Meddys is the simplicity of their menu.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/15660244708\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching Brubaker, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7503\/15660244708_3f8144806d.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to spend a half an hour trying to decide what to have.

I had to fish out the onions, which I don&#8217;t like, but it was great other than that. I&#8217;m not really that hard to please. You give me some meat and some rice, and I&#8217;m good to go. <\/p>\n<p>Brian, on the other hand, wasn&#8217;t easily impressed. He felt that the quality of the food fell short of the restaurant&#8217;s promise. I would have to agree with Brian. Meddys is great but, if you have the opportunity to try their catering, it is way better. I wonder if different cooks prepare the catering food than the ones that cook at the restaurant on a regular basis. I still think it&#8217;s good either way, but Brian was really disappointed because he expected the food to be just as good (if not better) than the food at Lights on the Lake.<\/p>\n<p>For me, if you have good food and good prices, you&#8217;re already winning. For instance, a couple of people can share the $1.99 hummus and call it good. They give you lots of pita. More than enough to share. Maybe that&#8217;s just me because I find hummus really filling. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/15317266294\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching Brubaker, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8681\/15317266294_de318972ed.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you want something more substantial, you can get the shawarma and hummus plate for $7.99. It&#8217;s enough to feed two hungry people. Where else can you eat well for that cheap (without resorting to ordering from a super value menu)? Nowhere.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/15660456860\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching Brubaker, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7499\/15660456860_bf8c55e198.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Meddys, for giving me another reason not to cook. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meddys opened a few months ago at the old Jimmy&#8217;s Egg location on Harry and Rock Road.
