Leroy's,
Well, today I took a chance and visited a very old restaurant. It’s located on Huntington drive which is part of California’s historic Route 66. It is just a walk from my house and I have lived here in Monrovia all my life. I have seen this place all the time and never had the chance to go in and try the food. I have seen many people sit outside for long periods of time to wait for a table. I took today, my day off and said to my self: I’m going in there! Boy, I’m I glad I did. The place is called Leroy’s and it’s been there for over 27 years. Before that, it was a Breakfast King which I believe was built in the 1940’s. The out side is just as it was in the 40’s or early 50’s, the inside is cozy and worm! The people that work there treat you like family and make sure you are a happy customer! The waitress even called me honey and or sugar! And the best part is that they have good prices on their menu! I paid only $6.44 for a full plate of some really good Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, vegetables, a roll and a bowl of turkey noodle soup! The food was good and the serves was even better! I missed the rush which was great for me. I sat down at the counter and no sooner that I had done so, the waitress asked me what I would like to drink. So, I had a glass of water no sooner then 3 seconds! I then looked at the menu and then the waitress asked if I would like to take a look at the lunch special. So, she told me about it and I tried it. Boy, lots of food for little money! Plus, they like men who wear hats! I was wearing my brown Knox I had just won on ebay and then one of the girls working there said: I like your hat but, it needs to be cocked to the side! So, to say the least, I’ll be back there next week!
