Karen Hirst I worked at the Superior Restaurant as a waitress on weekends, last year of high school. Owned then by George & Terry Charos. Great staff at the time, very helpful. Restaurant work isn’t easy for sure, so hats off to those who serve us while we enjoy our meals in all the restaurants we patronize—thank you.

Jayne Munro-Ouimet Karen, it is still belongs to George and Terry. One of the wives is still the server. Little has changed on the menu and they still make their special chicken.

Karen Hirst Yes that is true—building is owned by George & Terry and Peter cooks sometimes but I believe business is run by another fellow??  Peter’s wife does the waitressing.

Superior Sign in Almonte — What’s the Difference?

Saturday Date with “Thee Deuce” in Almonte

Good food good prices in Almonte Superior Restaurant M Mill St. Almonte, Ont. 25S-3954 HOURS: Mon-Thurs 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Fri. & Sat. to midnight. Sun. 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. LICENSED PARKING: On street and behind the restaurant CAPACITY: 190 CARDS: Masterchargc, VisaChargex DRESS: Very Casual RESERVATIONS: Necessary ror large groups FOR HANDICAPPED: No problems By Marilyn Minnes The sign beckons: “Welcome to Almonte, the friendly town.” Here among this historic business section, you’ll find as friendly a restaurant in the Superior as the welcome bespeaks. The small homespun draped “boomtown” storefront, an early 20th century design, is deceptive in sie. Inside, the restaurant progresses from a tiled-floor front section, diner style with booths, counter and stools, beyond to arborite tables with leatherette chairs, and finally, into the classier and roomy back lounge with its bright red carpeting, gold and print linencd tables, red leatherette chairs and dark wood panelled walls decorated with mirrored wall sconces. The menu is as family oriented as the room. While it varies slightly for the less formal bar stool and booth patrons (there are daily price specials available in these sections), it covers the gamut of pizza to Italian specialties, fried chicken, steaks and other grilled items pork chops, liver, ham and mixed grill, seafood, roasts (pork and turkey), hot and cold sandwiches, omelets and salads.

Meal prices are in the $:i.25-$5.r0 range. For dessert there’s a variety of homemade pies, the fruit fillings generally canned. The banana cream ($.90) has fresh slices on top of a pudding base. An excellent choice is the creamy rice pudding ($.80 topped with freshly-whipped cream.) The service is a refreshing as the town. Our uniformed young waitress had spent the day haying on the family farm before preparing for her evening shift. Our trio, returning to Ottawa from a day in the country, started with appetizers of shrimp cocktail ($3.25). celery hearts and olives ($1.50) and a chef’s salad bowl ($1.20). Servings are generous. The cocktail was made up of seven, count them, seven firm, fresh jumbo shrimp on a bed of crisp iceberg with a mini-cup of nippy cocktail sauce. There was crisp celery aplenty intermingled with olives, but the celery could have been more carefully washed. The salad bowl was full to overflowing with crisp, fresh garden vegetables. Dressings are not housemade.

A well-prepared and substantial main course item is the veal cutlet parmigiana ($5.25). a tender breaded veal cutlet, sauteed and blanketed with mozzarella and accompanied by spaghetti smothered with a spicy homemade meat sauce. Salad plates are ample, fresh and refrigerator cool. My choice was the shrimp plate ($5.25), made up of the same jumbo shrimp, a good potato salad dotted with green onions, hard cooked egg halves and coleslaw and tomato on a bed well padded with crisp lettuce. A club sandwich ($3.40) combines thick slices of turkey meat, bacon, lettuce and tomato with a pocket of coleslaw and a heap of french fries. You’ll find every hot and cold sandwich ($1.15 to $3.45) which your small-fry, or you, might fancy, minus the proverbial peanut butter. The wine list while brief is varied. We chose an Italian Bcrtolli Orvicto $10.25 full bottle, $5.50 half-bottle (LCBO $5.20 and $2.90). Orders can be prepared for take-out. That’s handy since there are picturesque picnic spots nearby. The best bets here are the pressure-fried chicken done up as you like either in buckets of chicken only or meal packs which Include honey, french fries, coleslaw and buns. Pizzas and the Italian dishes also are take-out specials. The Greek owners, brothers Terry and George Charos, having established themselves here during the past 14 years, keep busy donning the chefs hat and hosting. The result is an orderly low-key establishment combining low prices with good food and hospitality. Friendliness Is the key word.
