My latest restaurant venture took me and my co-worker,
Jesse, to Daddy O’s Restaurant. After a full day of shopping, we were starving.
Luckily, we didn’t have to go far since Daddy O’s is located right inside the
Newburgh Mall.
Appetizer: Daddy O’s has a huge appetizer menu. After much
deliberation, we chose the Santa Fe Rolls. The dish comes with three large egg
rolls stuffed with cheddar cheese, seasoned chicken, grilled corn, black beans, peppers and onions. To
make the dish even more irresistible, the rolls come with sour cream and
guacamole on the side. Jesse and I both loved the egg rolls. They had just the
right amount of spice.
Entrée: Between the
sandwiches, seafood selections, poultry dishes, soups and salads, it’s hard to
decide what to eat. I thought about ordering another serving of Santa Fe Rolls
for my entrée, but we both opted for the Shrimp Scampi instead. We asked for
the chef to add steamed broccoli on top. The dish came with sautéed shrimp in a
white wine, garlic and basil butter sauce served over a heaping mound of pasta.
The pasta was perfectly cooked. I love garlic, so the sauce
on top was right up my alley. We were both glad we opted for the broccoli on
top. The broccoli added just the right amount of crunch to the dish. The star of
the meal, by far, was the grilled shrimp! It was perfectly seasoned and grilled
just right. All of the flavors in the dish worked very well together. The
portion was so ample, we both asked for a doggie bag.
Dessert: The pasta was so filling, but we had our eye on the dessert menu from the minute we sat down. We decided it
wouldn’t kill us to split a slice of Carrot Cake... after all, carrots are
healthy! Boy were we surprised when we saw the giant slice of Carrot Cake that
was placed in front of us… yes, we devoured the entire thing!
