When we entered Evan’s Kitchen, I noticed a really cute pig holding a wine bottle up on a shelf.  It really looked a little home-like inside. On the menu, they had lots of choices kids would like. They had grilled cheese sandwiches, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese and mini burgers.  I ordered the spaghetti and to me it tasted really good and had really good sauce.  My mother said it tasted like her Nana’s, her great-grandmother’s, sauce.  Two slices of garlic bread came with it.  It though it was really soft on the inside and crisp on the outside.  It wasn’t too garlicky or buttery–it was just perfect.  My brother and I devoured the garlic bread.  My brother got a grilled cheese sandwich that came with fries. I thought it was very crunchy and had amazing cheese.  My brother liked it too.  The steak fries were very large, salty but not too salty and very soft. I really liked them!  My mom had a spinach, walnut, gorgonzola and pear salad and it was huge.  It came with a roll. It was very soft, fresh and sweet.  For dessert, we ordered the kids brownie sundae. It was a child’s dream–a warm gooey brownie with cold, sweet ice cream and fluffy whipped cream.  My brother and I pretty much dove into it!  Don’t worry, Mom got a taste too.  I think this is a really great place for kids and could be a really good place for a child’s first experience at a restaurant because they have great children’s food and the desserts are yummy.

Every Father’s Day my family goes to Stinson Beach. While we are there, we go to the Parkside Snack Bar, right by the beach.  We always order grilled cheese, French fries, a root beer milk shake, root beer, and a soft serve cone. There is always a line of people walking up to the window to order, but the line goes fast.  After we get our food, we walk across the little street to a small park, to eat.  We had a great time again this time.  The grilled cheese was buttery with tons of tasty cheese.  The fries are the small thin crispy ones. They were very hot, salty and very tasty.  The root beer milk shake tasted wonderful.  It is the only place that I know of that has root beer milk shakes!  The soft serve vanilla-chocolate swirl was a bit hit.  I saw lots of people getting those and walking around with them.  They also have things like veggie burgers and tuna melts. My parents got fish and chips that they really liked.  The Parkside Snack Bar is a really great place to go if you want to be right by the beach.  Another good idea is to take your food from there right to the beach and have a beach picnic.  They don’t take credit cards but there is an ATM around the corner and they don’t have tables but there are lots of places to eat on benches, at the park or at the beach.
