I think many of us agree that we do not like to eat the same thing over and over. Instead we like to try something new from the menu every once in a while, or maybe go to a different place to eat.
In Alva there are many local restaurants or diners where the residents can have supper, lunch, or breakfast.
Some of Alva’s local food places for example are Chopsticks, 818 Diner, Cancun, Gambino’s Pizza, and many more.
In my opinion, it is hard for these places to compete with each other on whether who is the people’s favorite place to eat.
Since each one of these restaurants and diners have their own unique taste and their meal styles are completely different from each other, I interviewed some students and one citizen on which is their own favorite restaurant or diner.
Their opinion is mainly based on food prices, food quality and the service provided.
The majority of the student’s opinion agree that 818 Diner is, with no doubt, their favorite place to eat for the taste, the low prices, the options in the menu and the staff service provided at the place. It is located a short walk from campus at 818 Oklahoma Blvd.
In my opinion, Cancun is Alva’s main restaurant to try out with lovely meal options to offer, although 818 Café is mainly my favorite since I’m a coffee drinker and I’m obsessed with a delicious breakfast that includes eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and preferably waffles.
Alva has many places where everyone can eat, and our opinions are based on our own preferences so everyone should feel free to agree or disagree with our preferences.
Everyone should be open to try ordering food in places where they have not been before, preferably our local restaurants and diners.
