“Shari's is one of those restaurants that when you go there you know exactly what you're getting when you walk in. It's not homemade, but it usually is delivered looking just like the picture in the menu. If we get a late start on a Saturday, and most other places are crowded, we can always get a table at Shari's. It didn't used to be that way, because there were a limited amount of choices in Twin. But, with all of the really good breakfast and dinner choices opening up, they have given Shari's a run for their money. I think there are devoted diners that fill the booths, but I see the atmosphere there not changing with the times. I know they recently remodeled, but it is quickly looking rundown again. There should be less booths, and more tables and chairs. Not only would that make it easier to clean, but the seats wouldn't get ripped, and look unsightly.Like I said, if you are not interested in waiting in line, and a average dining experience is good enough with you, go to Shari's, you will get full, and the waitresses are pleasant.“
“I recently visited Choate's for a quick bite. Let me start by saying, their Dr. Pepper Marshmallow milkshake are nothing short of heavenly. Creamy, rich, and utterly indulgent, they're the kind that dreams are made of. Seriously, if you're a milkshake aficionado like myself, this place is worth a visit for that alone. However, when it comes to the food, I must admit I was slightly underwhelmed. It's not that the dishes were bad per se, but they just didn't quite live up to the hype set by the milkshake. The chicken tenders and the fingers steaks were decent, but lacked that wow factor, and the tater tots were a tad too oily for my liking. It was just frozen food items and I do not believe they were home made. Next time I would try the burgers which looked pretty good. That being said, the service was friendly and the ambiance was pleasant enough for a casual meal. And did I mention the milkshake? Trust me, that alone almost makes up for the average food. So if you're craving a sweet treat, definitely swing by for one of their divine milkshakes. Just maybe temper your expectations when it comes to the food.“
