It’s been a few years since we have been here so this is a new review of the coleslaw at DJ’s.
Very solid coleslaw here at the famous DJ’s Clam shack. We also know about good Ipswitch clams and there are awesome Ipswitch clams here!
And coleslaw too!

Finally, something decent to say about this slaw.
Chopped pretty well.

OMG, almost zero taste, bland as anything

Nice colored bowl but the slaw itself looked anemic, going to give an ok rating for the bowl

If I could give a zero I would. No vinegar in this slaw.. none, nada

Riverwalk Restaurant in Naples, Florida is a fantastic place. Great food, service, and water views.
There is only one thing wrong. The coleslaw sucks.
One of the worst that we have ever reviewed.
FIX YOUR COLESLAW for the love of all that is holy !
😎

And yes Lisa was with me. She was busy with her own food. We are here in Naples till Monday.
Maybe we’ll see you out and about this fine town.

Lisa and I are on the Margaritaville Islander cruise ship this week. Our first stop on Tuesday was Key West Florida. We stopped in the Jack Flats, which is a nice sports bar. Great service good club sandwich, but the coleslaw could use a little work.
Today, Thursday, we are in Cozumel. Next on to Progresso!

Crabby's Bar and Grill, Clearwater Beach FL. 11/21/23

I (Lisa) had the pleasure of meeting a friend who was in town for a delicious dinner at Crabby's Bar and Grill in Clearwater Beach. I had a side of mashed potatoes and coleslaw with my lobster roll. Yes, the side of the slaw was just as big as my lobster roll. I must say Crabby's has a great atmosphere. We sat up on the second floor deck where we had a view of beautiful Clearwater Beach.
Presentation.... . 7
Liquid content.....8
Texture......6 (could have been a little bit more crunchy)
Size of veggies.....9 (damn near perfect)
Vinegary.......7 (I would have liked a little bit more)
Taste..........8

That's an overall score of 7.5 for Crabby's coleslaw.... Pretty average if you ask me,.... Try it out sometime, you will love the atmosphere! The slaw is ok too😁

Rix, was great for a late night snack after hang’in out at the pool at the Coronado. The coleslaw needs work though! I am posting this the next day, Sunday. Lisa and are at Epcot today. Hollywood Studios on Monday, and Animal Kingdom on Tuesday. If you see us, give us a shout. 
Long live coleslaw!

This slaw had some high marks, especially texture and presentation, needs some work with the basics like liquid content and the size of the veggies.
Pretty good overall though.
If you have not been to the Crown & Bull in Dunedin, Florida you’re missing out on something spectacular. The food is great. The atmosphere is great. The backyard is phenomenal!

P**s poor coleslaw at this otherwise fine establishment. One of the worst ratings we have reviewed.
My recommendation.. throw out the recipe stat and start again.

In search of the Holy Grail of slaw.. lot’s of struggling slaw in need of help.

We are back in Beantown for a few days visiting family, friends, and the Foo Fighters (Boston Calling on Friday).

Lisa, her father Tom, and I went to Lena’s in Salisbury, MA. Great seafood, excellent service.
Very solid coleslaw. Work on the presentation though… slaw deserves better.

Bring on summah (summer)!

Wow! Excellent slaw! if not for the cheap paper cup this would probably be a 9 overall. Taste was great, better than average crunch, liquid content, and size. Vinegar was terrific. Tighten this up a bit folks and you’re in the Slaw Hall of Fame!
I’m Han Solo for a few days on a business trip in Phoenix, AZ. Lisa is home missing the great slaw.
If this is what the slaw is gonna be like 👍😛
Also, the Bratwurst with sauerkraut was awesome too!
