I was good to me

Went out looking for some shepherd pie, there didn't seem to be any around and I was hungry. Close to where I am staying was a walk up chicken and rib place. But it had bars on the windows and a pass through set up for the food, as did the liquor store across the street. I decided I might better drive to another area.
There's a lot of streets empty of eating establishments here in Battle Creek. I finally got on a thorough fare that looked hopeful. I was pretty hungry, so at this point if they served food I was stopping. I finally spotted a Popeye's chicken joint. I was in the left lane and couldn't make it to the right lane in time so I drove on past to turn around. That is when I passed a place named, IIRC, Finley's grill and smokehouse. Looked decent and much more inviting than Popeye's.
I pulled in and there were only a couple of cars in front. I drove around back and the parking lot was about full. Not only that there was a couple getting out of their truck and heading in like they wanted to be there. Walked on in and seen a fellow that looked like he knew what good cooking was all about, I was sure I had chose well. The hostess showed me to a seat, there weren't many open, so good timing on my part.
I just had one of the best meals I have had for awhile. Started off with a local brewed Red Irish Ale, which was excellent, and a small loaf of dark rye bread with butter. Then my meal of smoked prime brisket served over grilled bread, mixed steamed vegetables, cole slaw and a corn muffin. My my, the brisket was awesome. The waitress brought me a six pack of assorted sauces and I told her she could take them back, i wasn't messing this cut of beef up with sauce. Followed that with a big slice of cheesecake, strawberry topping (looked and tasted fresh made) and a cup of black coffee.
Some good eats right there.
Glad I found the place.

If the waitress was hot then it was a 100% score.
Guess Battle Creek is like a lot of other mid size cities, ? Lots of empty buildings.
