Have you been to Fife’s newest pizza and pasta restaurant?
I was lucky enough to have a business meeting there a few weeks ago and it was great. Not only do they have great pizza, they have a wonderful salad bar and a variety of pasta dishes.
As you can see in these next shots they have plenty of room for your family to sit and relax and a variety of sizes of pizza. From individual pizza’s to large enough to feed a small army.
Have you been to Edgewoods newest sandwich shop? Oliver’s Sandwiches in the Surprise Lake shopping center.
I went in a few weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised. I got to meet the owner and his wife. Along with the gentlemen that the establishment is named after, their 6 month old son, Oliver.
Unlike a number of food vendors in the area, these owners are here to stay and be part of our community. They’ve grown up in this region, moved away, and returned deciding this is the place they want to call home and raise their family.
It’s amazing the difference in the atmosphere and service you get from a family owned and operated business.
I was lucky enough to be there on a day when they had some of the Special Avocado Spread already made. So I got to have a Turkey with Havarti toasted in the oven with Avocado Spread. It was great the way they made it, adding freshly sliced tomato and lettuce after it was heated just enough to melt the cheese.
Anyone wanting to be the master of their own sandwich should stop by and let your imagination run wild.
I went out yesterday and had lunch at The Poodle Dog “Fife’s Original Landmark Restaurant” that’s a direct quote from the wall inside the restaurant. The wall also states that they have been in business since 1933. As busy as it was while I was there I can understand that they have had no problem staying in business.
This was the first time I’ve had lunch there. My past visits have been limited to breakfast. Which has always been great. Both the quality and the quantity of the food. Lunch was as good as the breakfasts. I had a nice Monte Cristo sandwich with a choice of soup-fries-salad or potato salad. The soup of the day was Split Pea which happens to be one of my favorites. It was made from scratch and was great. I finished every bit. It was so filling I had to take 1/2 the sandwich home. The friend I took along had a Club sandwich which she was pleasantly surprised with. The components were all fresh. The bacon was perfect, the lettuce fresh and the tomatoes were firm not over ripe. She requested them to Hold the Mayo which they remembered to do. She also complemented them on the soda to syrup mix of the drink she had. The fries were great along with the ranch dressing to drip them in. To some people it probably sounds like small nit picky little things. But in the long run it’s the small things that can make or break a meal.
We had arrived at approximately 11:30 so we got to watch the lunch rush start. The service wasn’t the fastest but it was friendly and the whole comfortable feel we had along with the good food made it worth while.
The lunch was like eating at Grandmas house, basic home cooking and plenty of it. All for a reasonable cost. I will definitely be back to try out dinner.
