Egyptian Pizza Cafe

I went to a place called Egyptian Pizza Cafe in Belvedere Square for dinner on Saturday night. When I got there, I saw that it was small and crowded, but the decoration was very unique! It made you feel like you were in a actual Egyptian temple! Though I wasn't going to stay because we had it ordered from home and went to pick it up.

When I had looked at the menu, they had soups like Seafood Chowder, salads like Cleopatra's Dream, and sandwiches like the B.B.Q. chicken. They also had a lot of pizza choices, like the Manhattan cheese pizza, the California vegetarian, and the Al Pacino seafood. They also had a kids menu, which consisted of items like a Small Cheese Pizza, Linguini, and Chicken Fingers.

I had a small 8th Wonder, a meat pizza, which consisted of mozzarella cheese, chicken breast, marinated potatoes, pesto sauce, goat cheese, and roasted red pepper and my mom and dad both shared a Indian Pizza with Pita Bread and Baba Ganush.

As I was in the restaurant, I saw that the waitress accidentally got a man's order wrong. When we got home with the food, it was cold from the long drive home. After my mom heated it up, I had my first bite. It was delicious! Some people would maybe think it would be horrible because of having potatoes on a pizza, but it was actually pretty good . The peppers gave off a sweet taste, the chicken was juicy, and the goat cheese was creamy. I also tried some Baba Ganush and Pita Bread, and it wasn't that bad.

I give **** stars for food and **** stars for kid-friendly because they had a kid's menu with a few choices. The small was big enough that I had leftover pizza for lunch. I would recommend coming here, but if you want it to be a very nice trip, I would come on a not so crowded day and make sure you say your order clearly so that they don't get it wrong. Well, that's all. Bye!

Freez King

I went to a place called Freez King in Fredrick, MD. When I got there, I realized it was a very small restaurant, with only benches on the outside. And when I went in, the room space was really small.

On the menu was a Build-A-Burger, other burgers, and some yummy hotdogs. Some of the toppings were dill pickle chips, which were free, thick cut bacon, which was 99 cents, and aged cheddar, which was $1.19. They also had salads and sides. They also had sweets, which is soft serve and premium hand dipped ice cream, like The Split, F-Bombs, and The Brown Cow( a root beer float).

I got a hotdog with bacon and cheese sauce, and for dessert, a Black Cow(my brother had the same thing). We also ordered a side of french fries. It took a long time for our food to come, and when it got there the appearance wasn't pretty. It was delicious, but messy. My hotdog was juicy and cheesy, and the bacon was crunchy. The french fries were also good. They were crunchy and very salty. And the Black Cow, which was root bear, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate syrup, was fantastic! It was chocolatey and refreshed me. I give ***** stars for food and ** stars for kid friendly. The reason why I did only 2 stars for kid friendly was because there was no kids menu, they were slow, and you had to eat outside. I would definitely go here again because the food was really good. Well, that's all. Bye!

Lenny's Deli

I went to Lenny's Deli at Owings Mills for dinner one night with my mom, Owen, and Olivia. When we got there, it was very near to another place I've reviewed, Sofi's Crepes. When I got there, it looked like it was very plain on decoration, but they did have a TV for entertainment.

When I sat at my seat, I looked up at the big menu board they have. It had things on it like the Egg Special for breakfast since they serve breakfast all day, the Turkey Breast Sandwich, and the Chicken BBQ. They also had a Kid's Menu, which consisted of items like the Grilled Cheese and Hot Dog. I was going to get the Pancake Special, but my mom insisted on me getting there Corned Beef Sandwich, since they're famous for their Corned Beef. I also had some American Cheese on it, too. My brother got the Hot Dog, my sister the Grilled Cheese, and my Mom the Potato Latkes.

It took a really long time for our food to come out, and I was starved when it got there. But, my Corned Beef was delicious! It tasted like what my dad makes, which is also delicious.(You can find out more about how my dad's cooking in my Chicken Corn Quesadilla With Cumin Cream post) After I ate, we looked at the pastries they had. If I would've gotten dessert there, I would ever have their cookies or the Frozen Yogurt. I give *** stars for kid friendly and **** stars for food. Well, that's all. Bye!

Mamma Lucia's

I went to Mamma Lucia's, which is close to my house, on Friday night for dinner. When we got there, there were many people. It took a while to get a seat, and took even longer to order. Though I was entertained by the TV's they have. We had decided to get a Large Cheese Pizza, but we could've gotten other pizza's like the Meat Lovers Pizza, The White Pizza, or, even better, the Broccoli White Pizza. They also had a kid's menu, which had things like Macaroni & Cheese, Spaghetti & Meatballs, and a Slice Of Cheese Pizza. They also had other things like Baked Ziti, Shrimp Scampi, and Chicken Baltimore.

After my mom ordered, we got our drinks. Then I realized they didn't have kid's sized cups. Actually, they only had one size, which was medium. It took a long time for our food, but I feasted on Mozzarella Sticks, which you have to order. They were fantastic! They were cheesy, and the bread was baked perfectly. The only problem, though, was that there weren't that many and they were small.

When our food came, it looked delicious! Though, since it was steaming hot, we had to wait a few more minutes before we could take a bite out of it. Though when I did, I thought it was terrific! It was cheesy, though the cheese did fall off the pizza. I loved it! I give ***1/2 stars for kid friendly and ****1/2 stars for food. Well, that's all. Bye!

Jason's Deli

Guess what? I went to Jason's Deli with Richard Gorelick, the food writer for The Baltimore Sun, in Timonium, Maryland! We went there since it was said to be a very kid friendly place by Parent's Magazine.

When I got there, and after I sat down, I immediately searched for a kids menu, which there was. There were a lot of things on the kids menu. Some of the choices were Cheese Pizza, a Turkey & Cheese sandwich, and a Kid's Baked Potato. 

Though instead of getting something off of the kids menu, I decided to get a meataballa sub as a half slim and a bowl of broccoli and cheese soup off the regular menu. Even though they had a lot of choices on the kids menu, none of them surprised me. Plus, even though they said that it is a deli, there weren't very many sandwiches on the kids menu.

Some of the choices on the regular menu were salads, sandwiches, subs, pasta, and paninis and wraps. They also had soups like Tomato Basil, Organic Vegetable, and a Soup Of The Day for every day of the week. My brother got buttered bow tie noodles, even though it wasn't technically on the kids menu and my sister got a PB&J from the kids menu. Richard got a Reuben THE Great, my mom got a chicken salad wrap sandwich, and my dad got a special sandwich.

After we ordered, we got our drinks and sat down. About five minutes later, our food came, which was really quick. My meataballa sub was okay, but wasn't the best sub I've ever had. There was a lot of bread and the meataballs were falling out of the meataballa sub. The broccoli and cheese soup was the best I ever had! It was really cheesey, and there was a lot of broccoli in there too, which can help keep a healthy diet.

After dinner we got dessert. There were desserts like cookies, dessert bars, brownies, and strawberry shortcake. But I decided to get the free ice cream bar, which is in Jason's Deli. On some desserts you can even get the ice cream on the dessert. The ice cream was really great, but the sad thing was that it had only three flavors, chocolate, vanilla, and swirl. You also had 2 choices, a cup or a cone. I got a swirl in a cone. It was delicious! It was really creamy and cold, plus it had the right amount of chocolate and vanilla.

Before I left, I saw that they had lollipops and mints in bowls on the way out, though I didn't take one. I give **** stars for food and **** stars for kid friendly. The reason why I think 4 stars for kid friendly is because even though they're fast, there's no entertainment around. As far as being the best restaurant in America, I think they could do better by putting more deli sandwiches on the kids menu.

And thanks Richard Gorelick for coming with me to Jason's Deli! Well, that's all. Bye!

S&J Crab Ranch In Towson

I went to a place called S&J Crab Ranch in Towson,MD. When I got there, a waitress immediately seated us and left so we could look at the menu. They had lots of items on it, such as the Crab Ranch Burger, Baby Back Ribs, and Free Range Chicken. They also had kids meal items such as Fried Shrimp, Grilled Cheese, and Mac n' Cheese.

Since they had ribs and this was such a grown up restaurant, I decided not to get a item on the kids menu. Instead, I got a half rack of Baby Back Ribs. My dad also chose my sides which was sweet potato fries and macaroni and cheese. They also had other sides like Salad, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Coleslaw. We also got an appetizer, which was Onion Rings. They were pretty good. They were crunchy, and were the best onion rings I've ever had. It was a very short while before our food came, and when I saw the ribs, I couldn't wait to try it. The ribs were awesome! They were messy, juicy, and had BBQ sauce on it(because I asked for it). They also fell off easily, though they didn't have much meat between the bones. The sweet potato fries were also very good. They were both salty and sweet. I didn't try the mac n' cheese because I gave it to my sister, Olivia.

I give **** stars for food and *** stars for kid friendly. The reason I give 3 stars for kid friendly is because they didn't have any coloring pages, just papers ripped from a coloring book, and we had to ask for crayons. Well, that's all. Bye!

New Sonic in Rosedale

I went to a new Sonic in Rosedale for dinner one night. When we got there, it wasn't that crowded with cars. Since this was a Sonic, we parked and waited to order.

Once my mom explained the items, I decided what I wanted.Some of the items on the kids meal are the hot dog, grilled cheese, and the Jr.burger. I wanted the kids chicken tenders with a side of tater tots and a lemon-berry real fruit slushie, which was the exact same thing my brother got. My sister got a corn dog with tater tots and a lemon-berry real fruit slushie, and my mom got a chicken sandwich with a diet cherry limeade.

It took a really long time for our food to come, and it wasn't really worth it. Though there was a guy with roller skates that served our food, which is both different and cool. The chicken tenders were chewy and crunchy, but weren't juicy, though the tater tots were delicious! Plus, the slush had real lemons in it(that probably explains why it's called a real fruit slushie), which makes it a little more healthier than most slushies.

I give **** stars for food and ***** stars for kid friendly. the reason I give 5 stars for kid friendliness because they had 5 things on the menu, which is more than I usually see on kids menu's. Also, the kids meals come with a toy, and you don't have to get the appetizers and drink that I got. You can also get apples and french fries as a appetizer and other slushies, coke, sprite, and Dr.Pepper. Well, that's all. Bye!
