For people who wonder who I am to write about restaurants, I am no one, I am just someone who really enjoys food of all types. I have yet to find my limit with food, if it won't kill me I will eat it. My dream is to one day travel the world not to see sights, but to be invited into peoples lives to eat like they do. I believe that through food, you can understand people.
So yesterday I took my camera and went into a local place that someone from twitter recommended to me.
Place: The BLVD Cafe and Grill
First Impression: When you pull up it is well signed I don't think you can miss it. Walk in and you are greeted by a clean coffee shop atmosphere, with beer, mmmm. I placed my order at the counter, I don't know if I should have just seated my self and waited for a server that was not clear to me.
What I Ordered: In this blog I will base my prices and meals off one or two people, this lunch it was just me. So I ordered their Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries, and a Ice tea. When my food came out it was extremely hot. This is a good thing it means it was not under a heating lamp. My Ice tea tasted a little old, like it was yesterdays brew. The burger was served open face with lettuce, tomato, and red onion on the top half of the bun with mayo, the patty, cheese, mushrooms, and bacon on the other half. Both halves were bedded on top of some of the best fries I have had in a long time extra crisp on the outside and melt away in your mouth on the inside. I added nothing to the burger just ate it as it was served.
Price: The price for my lunch was under $15
Lunch Burger Fries and Drink: $11.54
Tip: $2.00
Total For lunch: $13.54
Would I recommend this place: Yes if you want a great burger and fries like they should be served go and check them out. They also have a full coffee bar with pastries, and six beers on tap. I will be back.
Location: 2717 Coffee Road Modesto, Ca
