This edition of
Excited about Eating takes us north to the
City of Salisbury and to
Palms Cafe.
This local neighborhood eating
establishment offers breakfast, a large variety of sandwiches, and specialty
coffees. You must order at the counter (no trouble seeing the menu, it is
written all over the walls) and the food is brought to your table.
I chose the New York, New York hot sandwich, roast
beef, corn beef, pastrami & turkey stacked high with Swiss cheese, 1000
island dressing served on grilled rye bread with a side of homemade potato
chips. Hearty and filling, the
different meats mixed well with the dressing. The chips were seasoned well and firm enough to dip in the ranch dressing. Overall, great!

Dora here. The Mandarin Orange Chicken Salad offered a generous portion of chicken salad, fresh greens, cucumbers, sunflower seeds and mandarin oranges with a sesame oriental dressing. I'm pretty picky about salads. I don't like a lot of extra stuff, and this salad worked for me. The chicken salad was creamy, sweet and delish! I enjoyed the texture of the sunflower seeds, and the oriental dressing rocked! And what a value at less than $8! That leaves a little extra for dessert, right? Especially since I had my heart set on that Palms Java shake...

The Palms Java shake was a mixture of espresso, java chocolate chips and vanilla Gelato. I would have liked the shake to be a little thicker.

Dora here. I'm with Ernie on this one. I expected the shake to be thicker and more coffee flavored, but, hey, Gelato and coffee...:sigh: thick, thin, who cares? Nice way to cap off the meal.
Palms Cafe is one of those comfort restaurants, the kind you go to after a long day and don't really know what you want. They have a menu with options sure to please everyone.
We rate this restaurant 4 forks out of 5 for a family
friendly restaurant serving great food.
What's your go-to restaurant for comfort food?
