Where did the Summer go? It seemed like it was too hot or too rainy here for barbecues. Rather than fire up the grill for little ol’ me, I let Foster’s do the grilling. The Foster’s near me carved out some patio space from their parking lot. This was very nice because they also let folks bring their dogs! Of course, my little princess liked it for the first couple of times. She loves to meet people and enjoyed the attention. Soon more folks were coming out to eat and there were too many cars in the parking lot. The moving cars were too unsettling for her and the heat was too much for me! Therefore, the Princess got to stay home. Thankfully, the restaurant still wasn’t too crowded inside with the cool AC. So I met my friends at Foster’s and we ate juicy
burgers and enjoyed a bit of normalcy. The managers at our local Foster’s make it welcoming and keep the service going. I like getting an old-fashioned char-grilled burger and fries along with a smile. It’s one of the few places where I truly feel welcome besides just as another customer. The fun music helps a lot too.
One of my friends is watching her cholesterol and limiting her red meat to once a week. Therefore, she sometimes gets the turkey burger. She seems to enjoy it; however, she admits it’s not quite as good as the regular, beef burger. She also gets the salad and then eats half of my fries! That’s ok because they are big burgers and I can’t eat all the fries by myself. As proven when I meet up with my married friends who get wings and their own fries!
For folks who may want something else, they have the ‘Backyard’ Garden Burger. On their “Limited Time” menu they have the Beyond Meat Charburger. They have steak and cheese and hotdogs! Check-out their special milkshakes too. Every great once in a while, I can’t resist the cake! Nancy makes the cakes herself and they taste like the ones my mom made. Well, my mom was a good baker so they are tasty!
Anyway, I guess this is a restaurant review of sorts. Foster’s is super casual and draws a lot of the local youth sports teams for celebrations and birthday parties. Not so much during these Covid-times, however, they are getting busier. If you like a good burger and a friendly, casual space – try your local Foster’s Grille. It is comforting to have a local sit-down restaurant that is not fast food nor is it fancy. Meet up with your friends for good food and good company!
