Howard's Drive-In, West Brookfield,
MA
121 E. Main St, West Brookfield,
MA. Tel. (508) 867-6504
Posted 7/13/07
We came back twice in one day,
first for lunch and then for ice cream. Next time, we'll do the
same except the first time for lunch and dessert and the second
time for dinner and dessert. This seasonal family landmark serves
lobster and steak dinners, fried seafood dishes, sandwiches,
delicious hard and soft serve ice cream in an outdoor picnic
bench setting. The food is surprisingly fresh and ample -- not
your standard roadside stuff. Howard's is definitely a place
the parents and kids can agree on, unless that family is into
organic soy burgers and tofu ice cream. Mini-Review by EH
Romano's
Macaroni Grill, Burlington, MA
50 South Ave., Burlington, MA.
Tel. (781) 273-5180

Romano's Macaroni Grill is a
great chain restaurant proves that some of the elitist restaurant
critics can be a bunch of phonies. We know one critic who refuses
to the Macaroni Grill because it's a family-oriented chain, which
goes to show some of these writing hacks are "pasta"
their prime. On frequent visits, the pasta, calzones bread and
desserts we've tried surpasses the quality of many independently-run
restaurants that are the darlings of the critics. If you secretly
put Macaroni Grill food into a certain much-heralded local Italian
restaurant, these critics would be hailing the food as "brilliantly
prepared."We say, just go and enjoy the excellent food and
forget that it's a chain restaurant. Mini-Review by EH
