1107 S. Broadway St.
Carrollton, Texas
This past weekend Catherine and I went a little more north than we have been dining. Our plan was to just get in the car and drive until we saw something. About 20 minutes into the drive from Catherine's house I got hungry! So Carrollton is actually the next city over. So we didn't make it that far. Next time, I will eat breakfast first!
We ended up in Downtown Carrollton. The entire strip is just delightful. It reminds me of those small towns you see on TV. You know the ones with the little coffee shops, boutiques and mom and pop stores. It was just darling. We also had another beautiful day so it was perfect for just walking around. We stopped at Sid's Rainbow grill because I liked the sign on the window! Yep, that is how I made my decision.
Once inside I was even more pleased. It was just as I thought it would be cozy and homey! They had old fashioned booths, signage and decor. It is seat yourself, we chose a booth instead of a table.
The wait staff was friendly and very attentive.
I ordered the chicken fried steak. It came with green beans, french fries and a roll.
Ummm.. the fries were good. I wasn't very pleased with my meal. The green beans tasted like they came straight out the can and the chicken fried steak had to be a frozen take on it. The gravy had a bitter taste. I would have preferred mash potatoes for my gravy but that wasn't an option. So the meal was a bust... but the atmosphere was right on. I saw a few people ordering milkshakes. They were homemade, I should've gotten one but I didn't. I won't lie and say next time because I doubt I will be back.
So I am going to give Sid's
Mainly for the atmosphere and price. My meal came to nine dollars and some change!
