Oh, those milkshakes are divine. I haven't had one in so long. Ahh, cravings.

Well, not for the menu - but you must have a regular check out lady like on Seinfeld.

I need open faced corned beef sandwiches on rye bread with real mashed potatoes on the side with really good brewed iced tea...

Why do so many different cultures end up making the same kinds of food? Just wondering out loud...

I love the early bird specials where before you even order you get the bread basket, the pasta bowl, & then soup or salad, vege, potato, main meal, dessert & coffee.

We usually eat all the sides & bring the main meal home untouched.

waffles
huge salads with lots of goodies in them, like grilled chicken, cheeses, olives, cucs, etc....like greek salads with dolmades, kalamata olives and feta cheese--yumm!

Onion rings!

I hate it when places serve fries, but not onion rings.
I like how Sonic offers a choice of fries, tater tots, or onion rings.

Not that I want to have onion rings all the time; I just like having options.
Fries should not be the only side.

I was also thinking of chicken and waffles. Wikipedia says it's with fried chicken

I could have sworn that stewed chicken in gravy ON the waffles is a dish, possibly southern. Just sounds like it.

Most of what I see on a google image search is fried. But I'd like to try the one I had in mind too.

Could have sworn it was on the Food Network.

Nothing beats good matzo ball soup.

Also Greek pastichio, moussaka-okay now I'm drooling.
