A Good Decision

            Having a hard time deciding which restaurant to go to? The things that should be written down or thought of beforehand going to any restaurant are its customer service, food, and cleanliness. There are many other things that you may add to the list of things to look for but these are the most important of all.

            The restaurant I decided to go to was Browns Corner Bar and Grill, because I heard that it was a good place to go for a bite to eat; so I had to see for myself. As I was on my way I had to keep in mind my expectations of what would make a good restaurant and worth going to. I wanted to make sure that Browns Corner met the expectations that I had in mind.

            Once I had gotten to Browns Corner I looked around it looked pretty nice. It had a lot of antiques on the walls and the people that were there seemed pretty nice. It was a very friendly environment. So far the restaurant seemed good now all I had to do was wait for the waitress to take my order from where I chose to sat. It was a very busy day and I knew that I had to be patient. Soon enough the waitress came she asked “what could I get for you”. She seemed really nice and did a good job getting to me as soon as possible. Good customer service is one of the keys to a good restaurant because it is like the restaurant’s first impression of what it’s like to be there; so if there is bad customer service then chances are you will never go back. After I ordered my food all I could do was wait until it came.

            It didn’t take that long for me to get my order. Given the fact that it was pretty packed there that day, but they had managed to get my food to me in about 20 minutes. That was pretty fast because of how many people were there. Next thing to do was look at how the food was prepared and tasted. I had ordered a hamburger and fries. I had opened the burger to look at the patty to make sure it wasn’t undercooked. I’m pretty sure that everyone understands that if the meat is pink or red it isn’t fully cooked. In my case it was fully cooked as it should be. I would complain and get my money back if it wasn’t. That would only make the restaurant look bad and that their cook couldn’t cook properly, but it’s great that wasn’t the problem. The fries as well were cooked all the way they weren’t raw in anyway, and the best part about it was they were not the frozen store bought fries you just heated up. They were from fresh potatoes that was another excellent thing, because I know if I’m going to pay money to eat somewhere want fresh food.

Other than my short examination I took my first bite of my food and it was very good. The meat was juicy, the bun was good, and the vegies inside were delicious. The fries weren’t too salty they were just right. As to other places I have been they weren’t fresh fries and they were extremely salty I just didn’t like them all that much but these from Browns I did. I had scarfed that food down so fast it was crazy. I enjoyed it very much and all I can say is it puts fast food joints to shame; because it is real food not some stuff we think is food.  All my expectations on the food at Browns were met it was fresh and tasted good.

Lastly, comes how clean the restaurant was. This restaurant was very clean if not close to spotless. I walked around the whole place looking at everything from the walls, tables to the restrooms. Cleanliness is a big must because if it wasn’t there could be a whole lot of bacteria growing around, which could get someone very sick. Also it could attract pests or rodents that could be a big problem. I wouldn’t want to go to a restaurant that was filthy that would be disgusting and you could get sick. Good thing it was clean so there weren’t any problems to worry about.

Overall, this is a great restaurant to go to and it has met all the expectations of what is a good restaurant to go out to. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go out to eat and enjoy being there. This restaurant will always have me as a continuous customer and if anyone gets the chance they should go try going to Browns Corner for lunch or dinner.
