I have a friend who LOVES Fenton’s. She is always in the mood to eat there and I found myself there with her one weekend afternoon. Fenton’s is a little charm of Oakland/Piedmont area. It’s known for it’s old timey diner-esque feel and homemade ice cream. I like Fenton’s but I’m not in love with it.
I can’t remember how we got this sandwich but it ended up on our table and I ate half of it. It actually wasn’t that bad. I’m not an egg salad kind of person and I’ve never ordered egg salad in my life… but this was pretty tastey. My only qualm was that there were just way too many olives in there! Seriously, it was weird.
Can’t complain about onion rings! These are really good… they come frozen but whatever they fry them in makes them super yum and they come with a side of ranch. There’s plenty of onion inside which makes them worth ordering.
Yummy, the appetizer sampler! I love this so much – all of my favorite things… chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, zucchini fries… seriously, if this stuff wouldn’t make me pack on the pounds I’d eat it everyday.
I got some Rocky Road ice cream for dessert. They make all the ice cream homemade so it’s extrea creamy and good. I don’t eat the cookies but it’s nice that they’re there. I got turned on to Rocky Road earlier this year – never really realized that I liked it until someone else ordered it and it looked good, so I gave it a whirl and now I’m a fan!
