Four Seasons Family Restaurant

Road trip time! We stopped here on the way to Chicago; it was at the very west end of Ohio, in a desperate phone search by me to find anything since the turnpike doesn't label food at exits (absurdly). This diner-esque resto was OK. They had a very big menu, which I like. Fox News was also on, but the waitress was nice. I got a hot turkey sandwich, which had weird yellowish gravy but tasted fine on a bed of two white bread slices and some good deli-like turkey. There was also a mashed potato ball (fine) and green beans with baco and onion that I didn't eat 'cause they're beans. Came with a salad that was totally normal and boring. Dad got cole slaw that I tried and it was pretty good/zippy. In all it was not great, but serviceable.

Metro Diner

Hey, I'm all about that breakfast-all-day life! So this place was extremely crowded (on a Friday at 5) but I think that's because it's new and small, not because it's good. I mean, they're only open until 8pm, what kind of diner is that? At least they have that sweet, sweet breakfast and they don't use peanut oil. I got a veggie omelette and coffee, which were both fine but nothing outstanding. The egg was definitely overcooked. Home fries were just big over-fried potato chunks (no seasoning), but the toast was good because it didn't have too much butter and there were unconventional jam choices at the table (blackberry! orange!). The menu didn't impress me much either, but this place is alright if you want a diner experience in Newark that isn't Perkins I guess (although it is still a chain, don't be fooled).

Mike says: average. nice waitress, old people.

Overall
Cost: 7/10 [about 15 dollars, including coffee and tip]

Perkins Restaurant

This is a very old-people restaurant, which makes it a comforting place to go. Relaxing, low-pressure diner with lots of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I always enjoy it, even though they kind of rush you out of there sometimes.

Turkey Dinner: Very comforting. Stuffing, turkey, and a tiny bit of cranberry sauce (and apparently a roll, sometimes). Get with corn and mashed potatoes and you're in the thanksgiving spirit!
