There are specials offered at every meal depending on the season and the catch of the day. Chef Vanzile says that he plans the menu around what fresh fish and produce look the best rather than what is trendy. However, there is still a great deal of ambition evidenced in the menu. Some recent specials included Mahi chowder and blackened salmon with Romesco cream as well as more expected fare such as sautéed crab cakes and a shrimp omelet. Fish and chips were the special on St. Patrick’s Day, an Irish themed-meal for diners to enjoy.
The restaurant has a liquor license and serves beers on tap, wine, and mixed drinks. Some of the most popular drinks are the mimosas. The price point for both drinks and food is very reasonable, particularly for a fish restaurant. Even most of the dinner entries are under $20. Lowcountry is a true neighborhood place, where people often come to eat several times a week. The small, intimate environment and the attractions of good, filling food mean that many of the diners know the wait staff by name and feel as though they belong to a community or a family when they walk through the

Taking advantage of the availability of fresh seafood from locals, Mahoney’s menu is vast and varied enough to offer something for every day of the week. However, if time is not on your side, stick with the specialty menu. Start with the “can’t go wrong” Presidential Platter filled with fried crab claws and petite soft shell crabs; aptly named the Presidential Platter after being served to President Ronald Reagan at the White House in 1984. Follow up your crab claws and soft shell crabs with the world-famous seafood gumbo. With a dark rich roux, this gumbo is meant to be shared. Not too spicy but has a bit of...

There are over forty thousand restaurants in Florida alone. That being said, out of all of the restaurants to dine at, Texas Roadhouse is by far my personal favorite. The staff that works there are always very friendly with their customers and are always willing to make any improvements that are needed. The entire atmosphere of the restaurant appeals to the southern part of the states and it always has classic country music playing. By far the best reason for dining at Texas Roadhouse is, of course, the food, they have a wide variety of steaks on the menu and multiple sides that are always delicious.
Personally, I love seafood. I have had the privilege to eat the freshest of fish from both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I have been able to enjoy many types of fish cooked in many different ways. With that said, I was interested in Paul Greenberg’s, Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, due to my simple curiosity to what it is that has made fish so popular.
Pappadeux offers elegant, elaborate dishes on its menu, while the food described on the menu of Joe's Crab Shack is the sort which tastes best when accompanied by an ice-cold beer and a large plate of french fries. For example, my favorite meal at Pappadeux consists of a flaky filet of red snapper blackened in hot Cajun spices and smothered in a rich Bearnaise sauce. It is then topped with lightly sauted crawfish tails and mushrooms. Once this concoction touches the tongue, it simply melts. On the other hand, Joe's Crab Shack has been made famous for its barbecued crabs. The cook begins by slowly cooking small dungeoness crabs in a large barbecue pit. Once the crabs have been seared to perfection, the cook tosses them on a large tray, and they are ready for presentation. The waiter then serves these divine crabs with a hammer, a bib, and a roll of paper towels. After pounding on the shell for five minutes, the lucky diner discovers a piece of crab meat which, like the snapper filet, melts in the mouth.
The menu at McDonald's typically consists of hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, drinks, shakes, and a recent influx of healthier alternatives. McDonald's also is widely known for their breakfast menu, which consists of sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, hash browns, and breakfast drinks. Since McDonald's appeals to such a wide audience, it must constantly re-evaluate its menu depending on feedback and market research. McDonald's expends considerable resources to update its menu and introduce new products in order to be more in tune with its target audience (The Times 100).
wonderful quick meal right in front of you. They show you hands on how to prepare and cook
The end goal of this proposal is to come up with a food truck that will be located in Harrisonburg. A demographic will be targeted and marketed to. The food truck will not be tied down to one spot but will, move around the Harrisonburg area, based on the ever evolving market. The food truck will come up with a specialized menu with a limited variety, but focus on quality. Many people do not like the monotony of everyday food choices, and often look for new places. The food truck will try innovative choices that break away from the monotony of everyday choices. It will be the goal to offer a niche food choices that are unique and can be made quickly and affordable. Not only will the niche food be offered but along with drinks and sides that complement the main food offered.
