At a Minimum or Is it worth an hour?

Mr. Sub. Located in Public Square in Watertown New York. The converted gas station is  a great small family-owned sub and pizza shop. This is a place where you can definitely eat below minimum wage. They offer slices with toppings for $1.25.  The $1.25 is actually an increase, they were a dollar for years. The slices are ample, two slices make the perfect lunch. On Fridays in the summer they offer chicken barbecue in the parking lot.

Located in Watertown, New York this restaurant is a solid 4 1/2 stars. We visited on a Saturday night  and the eclectic crowd  filled every booth . The service was prompt  and personable, at the end of the meal we had an opportunity to visit with the owner. Most of the entrees are priced slightly higher than $10. It would be possible to eat here for less if you stuck to the soups or appetizers. The entrees we tried were flavorful and delicious, both vegetarian priced slightly over $10 we had enough to take some home. I'm looking forward to going back. We would like to try the buffet which is offered at lunch. Dinner with two vegetarian entrees, two specialty teas and a  side order of naan bread was just over $30. One thing that seems a little odd, they don't bring a bill to the table you pay at the hostess stand on the way out using the on-screen billing.

Turned out to be a great find. We went to Copenhagen for a church supper, but they were sold out. We've been by the cottage in many times before so we decided to give it a try. Happily it was wing night. 50 cent wings medium delicious. A side of mac and cheese for $3 a cup of corn chowder also $3 beer specials $3. Easy to make a great meal for less than minimum wage. We plan to go back many items looks reasonable and delicious.

 Perhaps it was because it was late on a Friday night but we didn't enjoy your meal as much as we had in the past. The good news is that by minimum wage standards almost everything on the menu was considered affordable.  Very few items with the exception of the combination plates actually cost more than $9.70 the new minimum wage. A full size meal includes two scoops of rice and a scoop of salad. I didn't realize one of the salad choices for sale it was a green salad. We ordered one meal with three scoops of rice and the other with a macaroni salad. I'm not a big fan of their mac salad. I don't know what they use for a dressing but it has very little flavor and is a very wet macaroni salad. We opted to try the more expensive combination platters. The first choice was the barbecue mix consisting of barbecue chicken beef & BBQ short ribs, We have had this conbo in the past and this time found the meat dry and much smaller portions the price $10.55. Second choice with...

This is the place or you can definitely enjoy a treat on a minimum wage.  Based on the description of a friend I expected a small restaurant that served ice cream, what I found was an ice cream stand with an eclectic little grocery store. The store features bulk food items a deli counter and some souvenirs. We arrived late in the afternoon and were looking for an early dinner. Wandering past the deli counter we noticed another counter, one small table and a menu to order Subs. One of the girls working in the ice cream stand quickly asked us if we would like to order a sub or would like something from the deli counter. We opted to leave in search of a more substantial dinner and return for ice cream. The return trip after dinner was a totally different experience.  The few people waiting at the outside window earlier were replaced by a long line stretching through a packed parking lot.  The lighting and the distance from the menu made it almost impossible to read so I or...

We enjoyed a very good meal however it was over $9.  They didn't have any dinner entrees at that price.  We could have opted for soup and salad or an appetizer to stay under budget but decided it was worth a little splurge. The fried Alaskan Whitefish at $11.99 was wonderful, reasonable portion for reasonable price. I appreciated that each entree came with the vegetable slightly overcooked but a vegetable.  The clams came with a side salad the fish with coleslaw, a basket of sliced Italian bread and choice of potato rounded out the meal.

Good time and good value.  They offer a reasonably priced snack bar.  Pizza, burgers and hotdogs are only $2.  No real healthy options.  If you are careful about the number of cards purchased it's possible to have dinner and a night out for $9.  The game lasts longer than an hour and if you are lucky enough to win you could end up paying for your night out, All the workers are volunteers.  Games are every Tuesday in the gym.
