Wegman's Mozzarella Sticks

 Wegman's Mozzarella Sticks- 8.5/10 crowns

These surprised me. They were solid, like, these were good! Wegmans has an in-store food court that serves all kinds of foods like subs, pizza, and sushi, and since this seems like an unlikely place to get (good) ready-to-eat fried cheese, these definitely defied my expectations. 


 The breading: These mozzarella sticks seemed to have an actual breadcrumb breading instead of the fried outer coating, which seems more expensive to me. Point, Weggy. I also got these super fresh, so the crunch was amazing! I was very impressed with this quality.


The cheese: The. Cheese. Pull. Now, like I said I ordered these fresh so the cheese pull was very good. The cheese was hot and super stringy. I got to extend most of my arm, which attests to how good the cheese pull was, though I do believe this is subject to freshness. 


The sauce: This is where they lose me because the cup of marinara was extra money, so I did not order it this first time. I will update when I do buy the sauce. 


Overall, these were very good and I was super happy with these mozzarella sticks. The price point was also good for the quality you get, eight mozzarella sticks for $6.50. Usually the numbers are the other way around. I do think that charging extra for a cup of sauce is weird, but you win some, you lose some, I think it's worth it to try. 

Also, the idea of the Wegmans food court is a very cute unexpected date night idea because there's something for everyone and a seating area upstairs. You can even order food in advance so you could just come and pick it up. Or, you could buy them frozen and make them at your leisure at home! Great business model, in my opinion. Thanks, Weggy!

Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella

 Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella- 6/10 crowns   I am once again telling you I'm sure of what you're  thinking. Mozzarella sticks... Texas Roadhouse? And, sure, you would be right, this is certainly an odd combination. I come here for the onion flower, not mozzarella sticks. I think cheddar, not mozzarella. But you know what? These were actually decent. Worth the try, if you will. The breading: Jumping right into things, these were obviously frozen. Like, there's not going to be a sad employee in the kitchen breading twisted mozzarella cheese sticks with the bread crumbs. No. But it seemed to have a distinctive breading look instead of the fried coating which we are familiar with. Good start. ***Also! The picture on the website shows a twisted mozzarella stick shape. I have never seen that before, and still did not see them when i got my order, so that was misleading. But it's still cool to look at, so you should check that out.  The cheese: Yeah this was your standar

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks- 7/10 crowns These are literally the *same* exact mozzarella sticks as Applebee's. I should just redirect you to that review. Speaking of  which ... Also, does that mean that IHOP is breakfast Applebee's?? The breading: Ok, girl, is there really much to say? Real bread crumbs. Good. The only thing about these breadcrumbs that isn't really my favorite is the cheese to breadcrumb ratio. There's no problem with having a lot of cheese, but my lactose a** would like more breadcrumbs to balance out the outrageous amount of dairy. The cheese: Anyway, so, the cheese always slaps. Even though my friend and I ordered takeout from the restaurant and ate them about twenty minutes after we picked them up, the cheese pull was still present. The other brands need to take note.  The sauce: It's Applebee's sauce. It's not bad. It's actually pretty good. But we all know that the sauce seems like it's made to give you st

Applebee's Crispy Cheese Bites

 Applebee's Crispy Cheese Bites- 1.5/10 crowns Applebee's is already on thin ice because they have once again raised their dine for two meal price from 2 for $22 to 2 for $24. ***Update 06/29/2023 2 for TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS NOW.  Utter jail. Just go to Chili's at that point because in their 2 for $25 dine meal, you get an appetizer, two entrees AND a dessert.  ***Update 06/29/2023 This Chili’s deal doesn’t exist anymore and for that they are on thin ice. There are just so many things working against these cheese bites. First, Applebee's already has a fried cheese option, the classic mozzarella sticks. These are also expensive AND they are not eligible for the half priced appetizers deal. Applebee's really fumbled the bag. The breading: The crust was a fried coating which does not necessarily have to be a bad thing, but these are just bland! No flavor. This might be better than a bad flavor, but I was hoping for something . No spices on the coating, nothing!  The chee
