Descriptive Essay: Eating At The Broadway Grill

Decent Essays
I work all over Oakland County and I eat in a lot of different cities. But I always find myself wanting to eat at the Broadway Grill in Lake Orion. This establishment is very clean, and the staff is warm and friendly from the moment I walk in the door. The price range is from $10-$15 for a lunch selection, and you always get your money's worth. Their salads have fresh tomatoes and don't just include the usual iceberg lettuce, but hearty leafy greens. They also give you a basket of Italian bread fresh out of the oven with something I haven't seen anywhere else--an olive oil plate with marinara sauce placed right in the middle.

While I have had a few of their entrees--burgers, pizza (which is excellent), and my personal favorite, chicken parmesan--today I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs.

A cool thing about this restaurant is, no matter what time of day, or the amount of people there are, they always make you feel like you are valued customer. Another thing that I like is that they have a beautiful full bar, and have TVs in every corner with games on.

Now you might wonder what makes me a meatball expert. Well, I have had some of the best. My wife's 93-year-old Italian grandfather made us homemade meatballs that were off-the-charts fantastic. Even my wife whips up meatballs that smoke any restaurant, along with her mother and father. So, I have had authentic homemade cuisine from an Italian family, and now feel I have a benchmark to compare the rest.

As for the meatballs at the Broadway Grill, I give the spaghetti and meatball plate a 2 1/2 out of 5 stars. The restaurant overall though, deserves an A+ rating for its service, menu selections, and comfortable

    Growing up in an environment that mostly eats meals at home, I was hardly introduced to restaurants. As a result, of mostly eating meals at home, restaurants never really satisfied my taste buds, due to the fact that my mom’s home cooked meals are twice as delicious. Moreover, it was later on in life when I started eating at restaurants, in which have given me a lot of wonderful memories I will never forget. Despite, not eating out a lot when I was younger it has become part of my life style ever since I have started working and attending college. With this in mind, Cheba Hut, Denny’s, and Pizza Mia will always be 3 of my favorite places to stuff my face with no regrets.…

    Every time I walk into Texas Roadhouse my eyes wonder over to where the rolls and their special cinnamon butter waiting to be consumed by the customer. I hear country music playing in the background, and feel peanuts crumbling under my feet like leaves on a beautiful autumn day. Without looking at the menu, my mind is already preparing my stomach for the flavorful food that I am about to encounter. Texas Roadhouse gives the Newark population somewhere local to get a great steak while getting a significate value. From personal experience most of the other steakhouses will get very pricey for a family of five making it difficult to dine at their restaurant while living on a tight budget.…

    The Meatpacking District is one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC because of how hip it is and how it is packed with steel and glass lofts, with sun pouring though the oversized windows. It always gives me an electric feeling walking around the cobble streets, looking at the Chelsea Market and walking the High Line. All of that sprightliness is encapsulated perfectly into the Fig and Olive. It has those floor to ceiling windows, that let rays seep in, reinforced by industrial steal framing the beautiful warehouses. The loft-like space of the restaurant has many rugged aspects like the hanging warehouse pendant lights and the metallic components throughout, however Fig and Olive also has a calm Mediterranean feel to its decor.…

    I would visit Applebee’s again for several reasons; it is affordable, causal, and the food is really good. As a college student, the first thing that I consider before eating out is how affordable the place is. Compared to Olive Garden, I would say that this restaurant is a lot less formal, less costly, and a lower food quality. Overall, my experience was fun and enjoying because I felt relaxed sitting, laughing, and eating with my friends. When come back next time, I may try a dessert.…

    People usually go to a restaurant not only for the convenience; the most important element is that the restaurant has delicious food, which they cannot make it at home; also other restaurant cannot make that taste. I mean it should be has some more special than other restaurant, such as, the service very well or the special environment as so on. For me, the most elements adjust a restaurant it should be they pick up the fresh ingredients used in the food. That is the crucial for customers; they don’t want to send money payment for a bad or worse food.…
