If Lenoir Hall's old standby fried
chicken has got you down, the
following Chapel Hill restaurants
have got the beef.
Western Sizzlin at 324 W.
Rosemary St. offers entrees rang
ing from a chicken-fillet sandwich
for 99 cents to an 1 1 -ounce prime
rib for $8.99. Most platters include
a choice of potato or toast.
With platters, the potato bar is
available. It offers a selection of
garnishes such as ham and broccoli
in cheese sauce and bacon bits.
The salad and fruit bar is another
main attraction at Western Sizzlin.
It features everything from in
season melon to cabbage and bean
sprouts.
To cap the meal off, the restau
rant offers homemade desserts such
as German chocolate cake, coconut
pie and cake.
Western Steer on U.S. 15-501 in
Cole Park Plaza offers similar
selections at comparable prices. Its
location benefits those in a hurry,
since there are no parking problems
and no congestion along the road.
Open since January, Western
Steer already has loyal customers
in the area. They come to enjoy
steak, fresh fruits and vegetables at
the salad bar and the hot soup bar,
which features chili, chowder and
two soups of the day.
Cost for entrees ranges from
$1.79 for a four-ounce chopped
sirloin to $7.99 for a 16-ounce T
bone. Western Steer also offers
$2.99 luncheon specials from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m.
The restaurant is affiliated with
Mom and Pop's Ham Houses,
owned by Marshall Digh, said
Kelly Akins, assistant manager at
Western Steer.
Hungry for dinner in a more
elegant atomosphere? Try The Last
Resort at 157 E. Rosemary St.
Begin the meal with an appetizer
such as escargot or stuffed mush
rooms. Follow that with a garden
or spinach salad and filet mignon
or a seafood dish such" as shrimp
scampi. Top it off with a rich
homemade dessert such as choco
late mousse.
Lunch or Sunday brunch proves
a cheaper alternative $5 a meal
instead of $20 for those with
an expensive appetite on a low
budget. The lunch special costs
$3.50 for an entree such as a shish
kabob or quiche served with a
salad, potato and homemade roll.
Burgers, seafood and salads also
are available.
The Last Resort," Shaffer said,
"got its name from my wife, who
thought it was catchy, like as a last
resort we could always go to The
Last Resort."
