Continuing...  ;)

 RH>> If it's that good, I think I'd want it on a plate, with a fork. Don't

 NB>> I'd certainly consider having that one bun-less, or with the bun on
 NB>> the side... it was a good-sized crab cake, too...

 RH> OK, no bun for me, not even on the side. Got to save room for dessert.

Only offerings there were frozen custard, with or without toppings, or
in a few choices of sundaes...  :)

 RH> I don't always know how big the entree is until it comes out. If it's
 RH> really big, I'll split off 2/3 or so to go; if moderate sized, I'll
 RH> just split it in half. Even then, I might add to it, especially if I've
 RH> had a salad before the entree has come out.

First time someplace I wouldn't know how big something would be... but
we tend to go to the same places most of the time, so one gets a feel
for size that way...  :)  One place we ate regularly, when I asked for a
box to take some home at the end, the lady behind the counter took a
closer look and figured out (correctly) that I was quite under the
weather... :)   But for a first time place, I'd still wait until the end
of the meal to box the excess... after all, Richard (or others with us)
might be interested in some of it, too...  :)
 
 RH>> I'd have made sure I didn't eat the second half of the sandwich,
 RH>> tempting as it might be, save the calories and carbs for the ice
 RH>> cream. It's one of the "tricks" for keeping the diabetes in line but
 RH>> still enjoying some of life's goodies.
 NB>> She ended up hardly eating any of the fries, so she saved the calories
 NB>> and carbs there...  :)

 RH> I'd have tried the fries but probably not had very many. Splitting an
 RH> order with Steve, giving him the much larger amount, and still not
 RH> eating the bun, would have helped also.
 
You'd probably both have sufficient to eat, too...  :)

 NB>>> Looks like it should work out pretty well for a 4th Sunday group
 NB>>> choice, some month...  :)
 RH>> Sounds like a winner.
 NB>> Should be enough choices to accommodate just about anyone... and since
 NB>> it's more "American"ish food, should make most people happy... ;)  A
 NB>> little pricey for burgers, but you do get a lot of food for the
 NB>> money... so it could go for another meal, or be split between diners
 NB>> easily enough...  :)

 RH> Do they do discounts for seniors or others? Steve usually asks about a
 RH> military discount--most restaurants only do it on Veteran's Day but
 RH> you never know who will do it, for what and when.

Didn't think to ask... I usually do ask about senior discounts... didn't
think of it here, as an arm of the grocery store, but they might, as a
restaurant...  :)   Just got a senior discount from Boston Market,
grabbed a quick sandwich from the drive-thru to eat on my way down to
Avon and back Tuesday...  :)
