Burgers at Chili's

 My brother and I had a (little bit of a late) lunch at Chili's. I am glad we went there. We had gone there before but it has been awhile since we had gone (different times for each of us). We went to the one in Seabrook NH. There was no wait and the seats were comfortable. The staff was polite and professional. 

My brother and I shared an appetizer sampler. I think it was the triple dipper. One was a southwestern egg roll, another was the fried mozzarella, and the third was a fried chicken.  We got to chose which three appetizers to try with it. It came with three different dips (I think there was a fourth one but it doesn't show in the photo). 

My brother got the smash burger and fries. He really enjoyed it. After eating some of the appetizer, he was not able to eat all of the fries. I am glad we were able to take them home. It would have been a shame to waste such tasty fries.

I got the brisket burger with a side order of fries. I thought was really good. It had lots of flavor and the cheese was good with it. The fries was seasoned quite well. It would have been an insult - in my opinion - to add ketchup to it.

Neither of us could finish the fries since the appetizer and burgers really filled us up. We were really glad they gave us a container to take home the leftovers. 

We had a few cups of Diet Coke. It was ice cold and it was really good. It really hit the spot. Some restaurants the diet Coke tastes different but this didn't taste odd at all. It was really good and really refreshing. The staff really kept it coming. 

The service was really good. I like to leave a good tip when the service was really good and I left a good tip. 

A Spam-wich; Egg and Spam Sandwich - for breakfast.

 

I decided to make a version of an egg sandwich. I fried up a couple of eggs; broke the yolks since I don't want it running down my hands and arm when eating it. I seasoned it with salt and pepper. 

I also heated up / grilled a couple of slices of Spam. I really love Spam even though my diabetic doctor said it wasn't really good for me. I still eat it; especially if it is grilled / cooked on a pan.

I have some small hamburger buns. I think they are like slider buns. I didn't put anything on them; like butter or mayonnaise but I did put some Chick-Fill-A sauce (so actually I did put some thing on it. I put a slice of cheese on them. I put the fried egg on one side and the cooked Spam on the other. 

I combined them and I think it was really good. Others might try it with different results. I liked mine. I think it was a really good breakfast. 

I wonder if this will ever become a thing. It is for me since it was easy to make and it was really good; in my opinion. 

Spam has other flavors but most grocery stores has only one or two of them on their shelves. One day I will get around to getting and trying the other flavors. I really want to try them.

Eggs Benedict and Gritts at Hebert's

 On May 4th of 2024, the men of Calvary Baptist Church at their Men's Breakfast at Hebert's. It is done on the 1st Saturday of the month.

        I had the eggs Benedict with a side of home fries. It was cooked quite well. There was enough sauce to eat with the home fries. The eggs were cooked very well, soft with a runny yolk. The home fries was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I think they do it very well.

        I also ordered the grits. I think they cook it better than what I make at home (usually make it in the microwave which is probably why mine isn't as good as theirs). I added a little bit of salt and some butter (they gave little tubs of butter - as shown in the photo). 

        I think the price is very reasonable. I think it is why we like going there for breakfast. I also think another reason is that the service is very good there. I like to leave them a nice tip when I pay my bill. I think they deserve it. 

Fish and Chips and Crab Rangoon Dip at Michael's Harborside

 I went out to eat at Michael's Harborside in Newburyport MA. It was with family (sort of - in laws). 

I had the crab Rangoon dip as the appetizer. It was really good. It was nice and warm. The chips was crunchy and really good. It was even better with the dip on them. 

I had the fish and chips. I liked how they were in chunks. It made easier to dip into the tartar sauce. It tasted really good. There was a lot of the fish chunks. The sauce was really good.

It came with Cole slaw. With some places, they add too much vinegar. This was just right. It was delicious. It had just the right amount of slaw.

I liked the French fries. They were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. I ate them without any topping to them (mainly because I forgot to add any but they were good without it). 

I think the price was just right for what one gets. It was reasonably priced.

If it was during the day, we would have had a great view of the river that is next to the restaurant. Even at night, the view was great.

They people there were friendly and courteous and professional. They made us feel welcome. 

Breakfast Frittata? from Market Basket

I have found a couple of these at my local Market Basket which is in Newburyport MA. As one can see, it was a managers special / reduced to sell price. I am glad I bought them. 

This is the cover for the dish that I bought; a breakfast frittata.  Since it was at a really price (as shown in the photo), I bought two. I regret not getting the third one. 

Here it is as a whole. It looks really good. It comes with heating instructions; IIRC. It was heated in the microwave. 

We microwaved it and divided it in half. There was enough for the two of us; my brother and I. It was easy to cut in half. It was easy to eat. 

One can see the inside part. My brother describes it as similar to a quiche. I think that is a good description.  We both agree that it was really good. The next time I see it, I will definitely get more of them. It made breakfast easier.

Shrimp Burrito and Cheese Fries at Loco Coco's Taco's in Kittery Maine

 

I had lunch at this restaurant - Loco Coco's Tacos - in 

Kittery Maine. 

It was recommended to me by a friend. He showed us - my brother and I - how to get there. He said it was a good place to eat. I found out that was very true. 

I ordered the cheese and fries as an appetizer. It was a lot bigger than I expected. I got help eating it from my friends - who were there too. It was a bit much for one person. 

I like appetizers that aren't that big. It should - in my opinion - be the size of a regular main dish. I thought the price was pretty good. It was tasty. Unlike some fries one gets, this wasn't salty tasting (some places put too much salt on their fries). 

The main meal that I ordered was the shrimp burrito. I got the small. I am glad I did since a large would be too big and would leave little to no room for the cheese fries. I like the chips that came with it. It had a nice crunch to them. 

Here is the shrimp burrito. For it being a small, it was a nice size burrito. It was really stuffed with shrimp and stuff. 

Here is the inside of the shrimp burrito. One can see that it is fully stuffed with shrimp and other good things. I took it and stuffed myself with it. It was - in my opinion - really good. 

I had a diet Coke with the meal. It came in those plastic bottles. It did not take long to finish one off. In total, I had two bottles of Diet Coke. It was quite refreshing.

S.O.S. at Hebert's in Portsmouth NH

The men of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH like to have a 'men's breakfast' at Hebert's in Portsmouth NH. This is what I ordered when we met there on 12/02/2023 (there are times - which doesn't happen often - we have it at the church but we like the prices and food and service at Hebert's). 

Here is the S.O.S. entre from Hebert's

in Portsmouth NH.

I thought it looked really good. I was right. The meat added flavor to the gravy. The biscuits was cooked very well. There was enough gravy for the potatoes. It was quite filling. 

It had the option of adding eggs to it. 

I got my eggs cooked over easy. The eggs were an additional fee (low price for getting eggs). 

The eggs was cooked very well. There was some runny yolks and the white was cooked thoroughly. 

I put my eggs on top of the S.O.S 

entre. They just slid off the plate and onto the other plate. 

I put the eggs on top of the biscuits and gravy (which is - in my opinion - what this is). I tasted great together. I think it would have tasted great without the eggs but I liked it with it. The biscuit wasn't dry. It wasn't undercooked either. 

The service there is really good. They were friendly and professional. They attended our needs quite well. I like to tip well. I think they earn a good tip. 

I like the prices there too. It was - in my opinion - quite affordable. They also have a really nice selection to chose from.

We at in the room with the bar. The seats were nice and comfortable. They had enough seating for our big group. We had enough room to eat. 

'S.O.S. - Fresh ground beef, pork in a cream gravy served over homemade buttermilk biscuits: 8.50' - Here is the description of the S.O.S. entre. 

The above photos were taken by me when I was at the restaurant. If one chooses the above items, it might look a little different than what I have shown. 

I highly recommend this restaurant. It seems to have something for everyone and at a good price. The services has always been very good.
