It may not be very appealing on the outside, but... |
The Randolph is not a gourmet restaurant, but instead, serves appetizing, satisfying food in generous portions, at a moderate price.
Yesterday, three of us, Mamá Cuevas, Sra. Cuevas and I trekked to Randolph for a nice lunch.
I had hoped to find some special from the blackboard menu, but as it was just Monday, the section was slender. But, no problem. The multi-page printed menu has more than enough to choose something that will please almost any customer. (Except maybe YELP! member-reviewers, who seem to have a higher than average percentage of whiners and nitpickers.)
"Blackboard" Specials a year apart |
Calves' Liver dinner |
Fish and Chips |
Shrimp In a Basket |
I think I have written about these great onion rings in "Lord of the Rings".
We drank iced tea, which was good and strong. When we left the bar area where we'd been seated, I saw on a blackboard that draft beers were $1.00 off on Mondays. Perhaps that was a lost opportunity, but a vigorous shopping visit to Costco still awaited us, and I needed all my mental acuity and remaining physical strength.
Ratings (based on several visits)
Food: ****
Service: *****
Price: (in U.S. dollars, one $= $10 per person)
$-$$ Our check was $50 before tip.
Ambience: Modern diner, comfortable seating, varies from room to room.
Restrooms, small but serviceable. Nifty hot air jet hand dryer!
Hint: The Lemon Meringue pie: avoid. I have no opinion on other desserts, and there's usually no room for any.
Coffee: very weak.

Don Cuevas You threw me off with the diner photo, forgetting you are a jet setter. $15 U.S. for 5 shrimp and fries - ouch! Viva Mexico!
Huge, sweet shrimp. I think that's a bargain for este lado de la frontera.
Saludos, Don Cuevas
Well like I wrote VIVA! de este lado de la frontera where large shrimp are 100 pesos a kilo (less in Puerto Escondido).
Aww, you eat the livers of cute little calves?! Well, the rest sure looks tasty.
I hope you la Sra. are enjoying the heat, aqui en el norte de NJ. And the thundershowers with their lightening storms have been quite a treat too. :)
Diners have the best breakfasts for your buck, and very good sausage. And their club sandwiches can't be beat. Funny if I do have a bigger meal, I always order the liver, it's hard to find nicely cooked with onions in many places -- go figure.
Looks delicious.Thanks for sharing
I think the fish and chips looks great and I would have eaten them all. Thanks for sharing. Great pics.
