The Observation Deck

OK The politics are getting everyone riled up or feeling down. What are your favorite 3 or 5 eateries in Lakewood?

For me, for price, service, and good food, not in any order:
1. Coffee Pot on Madison with new owner-the best homefries ever and great meals!
2. Joe's Deli for great sandwiches and soup and breakfast!
3. Tina's Deli-great breakfast and chicken salad!!!!
4. La Pita of course! The BEST Lebanese food I ever tasted, starting with their big stuffed grape leaves, the most tender flavorful beef for the shawrmas, and falfell's and kebees to die for!!!!

All are family owned, friendly warm service, and the BEST food for the money! Who is your favorite around here and why. Cute waitresses don't count JOB.

Maria's - spaghetti and pizza to die for.

The Shore - The whole family is so lovable and friendly

Golden Dragon (I thing that's the name) right where Hilliard splits off from Madison - My daughter's vegan and I love their won ton soup - so we agreed to go their for her birthday - also the decor is so darn funky!

The Diner (once again I can't remember the whole name) that's on Detroit that looks like an old time diner - just because it is an old time diner.

This is a good one with some many good choices...

• Maria's
• Melt
• The Souper Market
• The Diner on Clifton (I know it's not really in Lakewood, but I like it!)
• 3 Birds

Hey that's more than five! Oh yea but you eat out more than the rest of us! Mahall's not only has five dollar burgers, but $5.95 fish fries on Fridays with homemade soups and pies!!!!!

I can't possibly stick to five. Maybe five of my favorites from the past week:

1) Shore Restaurant
2) Players
3) Rush Inn
4) Sullivan's (Rhonda - try the Guiness wings on Tuesdays)
5) La Pita Express

One of the may great things about lakewood is there are so many restaraunts.

I also didn't menetion - Around the Corner - homefries, The Beer Engine - their hamburgers are among the best I've ever had.

mmm... there is such great food!

1: thai hut
2: thai kitchen (i love me some thai food)
3: souper market
4: melt
5: khiem's vietnamese cuisine

We don't eat out that often, since I work many nights.

Maria's would definitely be my favorite.

These lists remind me of restaurants I still have yet to try! Maria's and the Shore on my list!!!

I do have to add the cheesesteak from The Stand on Madison and Einsteins awesome breakfast bagels!!!!! I just sent the hubby out for some!!!

1. Angelo's
2. Sullivan's (also very convenient since I am one house down from it )
3. Souper market
4. The Melt
5. Maria's

- The Shore
- India Garden
- Tina's Deli
