Avalon Gardens Restaurant

Avalon Gardens Chicken Strips And Potato Wedges

Location: 1719 Belmont Ave Youngstown, OH 44504 Phone (330) 747-7800
The Order:. Chicken fingers and french fries with barbeque sauce. Side order of loaded potato skins minus sour cream.
The Service: Standard take out service. Phone in order, pick up in 20 minutes.
The Taste: The Chicken was well cooked, juicy, and tasty and warm. The fries were Idora Park type and were a little soggy but still good. The potato skins were warm with plenty of cheese and bacon and no sour cream as was ordered.
Presentation: As usual, a white Styrofoam container with a lifeless piece of lettuce added for reasons unknown.
The Value: At $7.50 the value was adequate but unlike past visits, only four pieces of chicken and only a smattering of fries were present. Add a piece of chicken and more fries and you have a bargain.
The Rating: 3.5 out of 5 shots. Grassy Knoll Diner recommends Avalon Gardens for lunch.
