A great fall evening to eat outside: not hot, humid, and no bugs. Paige provided excellent, attentive service with the right amount of check-ins. My fave is the Black N Bleu Salmon salad with a large portion of blackened salmon.

Jenni and I got the blackened chicken alfredo. Our server, Tammy, was friendly and attentive and our food arrived at the table pretty quickly. Jenni liked her food more than I did but she likes her food warm not hot. My entree was not at all hot and I thought much too salty. We were also asked if we wanted salads. The salads were okay but we were surprised that they were $7 each. I would rate our meal a 3 or 3.5 and Jenni a 4.5 so I'll give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I've probably driven by Southside Deli 1,000 times and never knew what the building was -- until a…read moreFacebook post about their Oktoberfest specials stopped me in my tracks. A quick search later and I realized it was only 20 minutes from home. I immediately grabbed a friend and requested a dinner date for the item that caught my eye: the Bratwurst mit Kraut -- bratwurst cooked with apples and sauerkraut, served on a pretzel bun and topped with even more kraut, with a side of German potato salad ($12). But I'll admit... I was also eyeing their Obatzda Burger with Oktoberfest beer cheese. Feeling bold, I asked our waitress if I could order their regular Pretzel Braid appetizer ($9) but swap the usual cheez-wiz and spicy mustard for that dreamy Oktoberfest beer cheese instead. She paused, smiled, wrote it down, and said, "that sounds really good!" Bless the chef for making my pretzel + beer cheese fantasy come true. The pretzel braid was warm, soft, and perfectly salty, and that beer cheese was the real MVP -- smooth, melty, not too hot, and with a proper beer-cheese finish. When the bratwurst plate arrived, it was a showstopper. Juicy brat, tangy kraut piled high, and tucked inside a pretzel roll that was soft but sturdy enough to hold it all together. No mustard needed! The German potato salad surprised me, though -- I'm used to the warm version, so finding it chilled caught me off guard. But honestly? It worked. Perfectly seasoned, just wet enough to be salad without drifting into soupy territory. I demolished both. Dessert was impossible to skip after hearing our waitress describe it to another table. We shared both the Apple Caramel Crumb Cake and the Lemon Blueberry Mascarpone Cake. The crumb cake was served warm with ice cream, loaded with thick, crunchy topping that didn't rely on chopped nuts (bonus points!). The mascarpone cake was light and buttery with the perfect balance of lemon and blueberry -- like saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall all in one dessert sitting. Southside Deli's Oktoberfest menu blew me away, and if their everyday offerings are anywhere close, I've been seriously missing out. Add in free parking, a convenient location, and plenty of seating, and it's an easy go-to spot for lunch or dinner. Southside is officially on my food rotation radar now!

We usually frequent their location in Hershey and I saw a Freshido on my way in so I went to the website to order. Got a custom poke bowl with greens, salmon and tuna with toppings. 20 min later and 5 min drive down the road I went into the store. Restaurant itself is open and bright. I got there before the lunch rush so it was pretty empty. Usually they keep the to go orders behind the counter but at this location they're right out front to the left of the ordering station. Took me a minute to see it but I checked the receipt and got my order. Someone took the time to draw a cute mouse on the bag which I really appreciate! Had plenty of fillings on my bowl and a nice serving of crab salad and seaweed salad. Very happy with my decision and will be back next time I'm in the area.

Hmmm...yeah. Thats about it. This is a very unusually set up restaurant. The inside just gave off…read moreweird vibes. Our booth wasn't even attached to the floor. You entered into a very barren space up front that felt completely unfinished, and then went to the rear of the restaurant in a completely separate room to be sat. In general, the food was ok...but nothing special. It's a diner. There are several of them within just a few miles. There is nothing about this place to set it apart from any of the others...except it is the closest to my house. A few drawbacks: -most of the breakfast meals came with homefries OR toast...not both. And if you wanted to get the potatoes and order a side of toast, it was grossly overpriced. -I received the wrong meal. Turns out the waitress ordered it wrong, wasn't the kitchen's fault. In her defense, she did give me a discount on our bill. -the entire restaurant just had an "unfinished" feel to it. I didn't feel like we were sitting in a dining room. It was just a bit weird to me. Would I go back? Probably...but there are a few diners I like a lot more within a very reasonable distance. It isn't going to be my top choice for sure.

The service was prompt, friendly, and kind. The suggestions about fruit for the waffle were generous and helpful. It's different to get my little one to eat anything when we go out to eat & adding additional fruit & whipped cream helped get him to try the waffle. He was not happy with the syrup. I'm not sure if maple syrup is an option. Maybe we'll ask about that next time. My eggs were perfectly cooked. The sausage links had a nice flavor & great "snap". The tater tots were crisp on the outside & soft inside. The booths have enough space between them & high enough sides to feel separation between diners and focused into your own party. The floors, seats, and tables were clean & comfortable. The artwork is large & unambiguous- photographs of food. And finally, the coffee is good!

So, I don't know about you, but every once in a while, I might take a cruise or go to a nice hotel…read moreand fantasize about having nice things--something like positive manifestation. When I walk into a nice place, I often notice the floor, maybe marble, maybe terrazzo, or just really wet and shiny tile. Well, it makes me feel good knowing that the floor is clean. I know that everything else inside of the establishment is also going to be clean. That's how I felt when I was at this Indian restaurant. Now, I was on my way to go do a strip-and-wax job to make someone's floors look wet and glossy. I decided to stop and get some lunch along the way, and this is where I ended up: Royal Kitchen. I don't eat a lot of meat in my life anymore. That's the reason why I have so much energy, but this diet is not for everyone because everyone is different. However, let's stop talking about me. Let's talk about how delicious this food was. It did take a little while for it to come out, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fluffy on the outside and also crisp the garlic naan was. The prices were very reasonable, and I believe at this place, I got a coconut cashew dish, and I must say it was very delicious. Now, normally when I eat Nepali and/or Indian food, it is spicy. I got the medium spice. That way, I was able to enjoy the flavor notes, and, well, I didn't regret it. This establishment is great. It is right off the highway and has plenty of seating. They also have a bar area, which is amazing. And if you want to have a banquet hall for a party of 10 or more, this is definitely the spot. The menu has all the ingredients listed and what is inside the food, which makes it very easy to choose what you want to eat. The bathrooms are also very clean. When you walk in, there is some incense in the beginning, and it is not overwhelming. It is pleasant and relaxing. It feels like you were transported into what I would believe is another part of the world. So, if you want to be a part of this world, I invite you to come and try the food here at this establishment! If you like my reviews, please visit my YouTube channel: @brandenleebutler

They also have a selection of juices if that's your thing. I'll keep it in the dining rotation!

The celery was impossible to dip in the hummus as it was chopped/sliced for a salad. Thankfully, the steak bowl was delicious and the right sized portion.

The omelet was very thick, flavorful, and delicious.
