Scribbles About Food: Review: Bradley Beach Elbow Room Bar and Kitchen Elbows and Cheese

So I thought I would do a little review of The Elbow Room Bar and Kitchen in Bradley Beach. This is not the chain restaurant called The Elbow Room... although it is sort of like a comfort food restaurant... it isn't all Mac and Cheese like the chain restaurant... but I figured I would order their signature Macaroni and Cheese dish anyway.

I'm picky with my cheeses so I asked what cheeses they had in their Mac and Cheese beforehand... I think it was Cheddar, Jack and something else... so just regular cheeses... nothing spicy, nothing bitey... no swiss cheese or parmesan or anything like that... just regular macaroni and cheese... which I like... but at the same time... it was just kind of regular macaroni and cheese. You could make it at home if you wanted to... its just pretty ordinary Mac and Cheese... it wasn't terrible and it was a good sized portion... but it was regular Mac and Cheese for like $9. Not quite sure its worth that.

It's also a lot of food... I was very hungry so I kind of just kept eating it and then I was like "Ohh... this is a lot of cheese!" And I was starting to get kind of thirsty and kind of just like I had wayyy to much cheese.

They had different flavors of Mac and Cheese on the menu as well... but it was on the specials menu. They had Pulled Pork with Mac and cheese... It just kind of was what it was...

So for the place to be called The Elbow Room... I was expecting more Mac and Cheese options... and even though I'm a boring Mac and cheese person, I kind of wanted a more interesting Mac and Cheese. And this was just okay. I did like it better than the chain restaurant because they had some cheeses I don't like in the cheese I think. The chain just wasn't my thing... and while I wasn't overly impressed with this dish... it wasn't bad. I ate the whole thing and was like "wow that was good." But then I thought about it more and I was like "hmm... I was expecting a little more."

The atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice. It was cozy, very dark... but it was a fun place to just kind of catch up with friends. The prices were okay... although for what you're getting I guess its a little bit high when its like... meh I could have got like 3 boxes of Kraft for this price! Lol.

The service at the restaurant was good too. The girl checked to see what types of cheeses there were in the Mac and cheese. Not every restaurant would do that. The bathrooms were clean according to my friend... it was nice.

So yeah! That is everything... let me know if there is anything else to order here that I might like better or what you thought of it... or how you like your Mac and Cheese! I'd love to know. Fun night either way.

They have dessert and alcohol too... I would usually say yes get dessert... but after all that cheese I was feeling quite full. Maybe not the best thing to order if you're on a date... which I wasn't... but I was like "ohhh this is a cute date spot" and then its like "Yeah... but you'd have to poop after." so... there's that. Lol.

Byeee!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
