OUR FAVORITE FOOD/PRICE

Our group consisted of two seniors, two kids and me. The seniors selected the Clamboat Basket ($7.89) and the “Friendly Big Beef Burger” ($5.99 plus 70 cents for cheese). The burger was ordered well done and arrived just that way — one of the few times my Dad has not had to send his beef back for more cooking. Mom loved the coleslaw that came with her meal. I had the Chicken Caesar Salad ($8.49). The kids ordered “Friendly Chicken Fingers” ($4.49) and the “Cheese Quesadilla” ($4.49), both with special drinks. Having tasted almost everything, my favorite was the cheese quesadilla. The seniors and kids each had sundaes of varying flavors and toppings. We couldn’t agree which was the best, so we called it a draw.
