His quality went way downhill after moving. I stopped going, and I'm sure a few others did too.

Kevin's would have been the ideal restaurant for the Ltown Wharf but the town/county wanted a big financial investment that wasn't feasible.
The Willows lot is cursed, on an Indian burial ground or something. It was a bunch of things before it was Willows, then Willows went through several ownerships before Nucci bought it, then it was a bunch of stuff after that.

Well, it use to be a Golden Corral
I loved Kevin's in its first location. Very homey and comfortable. That didn't translate when they moved to Willows.

Corner of 235/4 wasnt it a Western Steer?

Main Streeter
Yep. Western Steer.
I've lost count of how many different operators have been in that building over the last 40 years. When Nucci was running it as the Willows it did do well. The newest occupant is "Helen's"...a well-regarded family-style place that was located in the now-demolished market in Mechanicsville. Not sure when their opening is but it must be soon since they've got a small billboard sign up, alongside the road. And breakfast...they serve breakfast...
Me like.
Yee ha - even my kids are interested.
I hope so. Menu seems a bit pricey, I think I saw $15.00 for a bologna sammich.
Kevin's was SO good when it was in town,,,,, something changed when it moved down to the Willows building. I hope Helen's can make a go of it there although no one recently has been successful.
Has anyone been to the new seafood place in the old Slice House which was the original Kevins ... ?

Saw that. 12 bucks.I hope so. Menu seems a bit pricey, I think I saw $15.00 for a bologna sammich.
While I am getting used to restaurants charging above ten bucks for a single burger or sandwich, the idea of everything costing almost twenty bucks isn't getting me out there often. It better be a damned good sandwich. Subway alone has sandwiches about half that.
Haven't been there yet, but have heard good things.

Every chain has blasted prices through the roof! Even the chain fast food places. Hell, a burrito supreme at Taco Bell used to cost $2.99 not too long ago. Now, it is just under $10 each. Same with McD. Burger entree is almost $10.
Doesn't stop the masses from lining up to shove them into their faces though and THAT is the only thing that will force a change. Stop eating there. But, when it comes to deciding between not paying the overage and doing some home cooking OR being lazy and coughing up the increased prices.. people will chose lazy 99% of the time (and then complain about prices)
That's an understatement
$15 for a tuna salad sandwich, $19 for a chef's salad. Beachfront places here in high tourist season don't charge that.OccamsRazor

But.. but... I am SURE they will be GOURMET tuna salad sandwiches and GOURMET chef salads...That's an understatement
I'm not convinced that any of those options are the primary reasons - for me, I generally don't like fast food - but when I am 3-4 hours from home, or traveling it's the cheapest option. When I have to choose between my son missing a swim meet at 6 or serving him dinner at 4 (because special needs, he eats very slow) - I opt for fast food on the way there. I pay the price for it - because my choices are limited.
I don't like it - but I don't have a lotta choice. I like cooking at home, but it's not always the best option.
I would expect that at the beach. Not on 235.That's an understatement
