Mad River Bar and Grill

Mad River Bar and Grill in Downtown Charleston, SC is excellent. The food is wonderful, the atmosphere is great( it is in the Old Episcopalian Church) and the price is great. All day Monday is half off burgers. Talk about a great deal. You can get two huge burgers for $9.00. I love the Chicago Bull. It is a Kobe burger with cheddar cheese, bacon and a fried egg. Delicious. Definitely a restaurant everyone should try when in Charleston. Be sure to check the website because they have locations in other cities too.

I love eating out.

You gotta love Ryan's Restaurants. Last night the kids and I went to Ryan's.(Hubby want go, states it all tastes the same.) The fact that the kids can eat all they want for $3.99 with a drink is such a bargain. Four of us ate for $18 bucks. They needed to roll all of us out the door when we where done. LOL. I love there rolls and they do have steak on the buffet every night. I must say it was a lot better than the last time we went. Now my middle child gets one item, eats three quarters of it, then pronounces he did not like it and needs to go get something else. But my youngest can eat anyone under the table. We have all moved on to dessert and she is still eating. She then can get dessert, eat it and then decide she is going to eat spaghetti, since she is not full. I do worry about her. She will probably be bigger then a house. LOL. Hope that metabolism of hers never slows. Now tonight we are eating in it is WAY TO COLD. Us Southerners do not like this weather. It is 36 degrees right now and heading into the teens. Christmas was 80 degrees and we where in shorts. Our beloved "adopted Father" is bringing over dinner. Thank God I don't have to cook. It is a rare occasion for me to fix a meal. LOL. I like to keep the restaurants in business. Have a great night and stay warm. Thanks for visiting.

McDonald's Gotta Love Them

Well tonight I had the ultimate treat of going to McDonald's with my three kids and my daughters friend. Of course on the way there I am naming every other restaurant possible. LOL. I do love McDonald's it is my comfort food but once a month is all I can handle. Now my kids could eat it everyday and most of the time my one son does. So tonight we arrive at the golden arches at 6:20pm and the sign on the door reads "Lobby closing at 7pm for remodeling will resume normal hours at 5:30am." Okay now I feel rushed. So we head in to a construction site mess. They are adding the McCafe so now we can get overpriced Coffee drinks at McD's. LOL. Then we notice that the Double Cheeseburger (our favorite) is now off the dollar menu and is $1.20. Replacing it on the value menu is a mcDouble. Deciding to be brave I approach the counter and ask the young girl what is the mcDouble? She then tells me it is a doulble cheeseburger with only one slice of cheese. What is cheese that expensive that they have to charge $.20 more for a slice. So we order the mcdouble to save that money. LOL. Well I have to say it is my new favorite. It is amazing the taste of the beef without the second piece of cheese. Then after enjoying our sandwich we head to the counter for dessert. Now I don't understand how they can sell sundaes, ice cream cones, two apple pies and three cookies for $1.00 but the milkshakes are now $2, 2.40 and 3.00. The McFlurry is now $2.40 what is the deal does oreo cost $1.40. I don't think so. Well my kids have learned it is a $1.00 sandwich and a $1.00 dessert or they don't eat. LOL. I will definetly go back to McD's I can never get enough of there fries, burgers and caramel sundaes but I will remember to take more money since it seems everything is going up and portions are going down. Even the fries have gone up now they are $1.35, 1.50 and 1.85. The dollar menu is definetly shrinking. I wonder if prices are different in other states for McDonald's?
