Chirp! Chirp!
The Birdhouse at Exit 2 on 101 (dot) com just opened recently inside the Myles Travel Plaza, formerly Zacky's Pizzeria and Clemenza's. This is a good place to pick up lunch or a fully prepared dinner for the family (or for yourself).
This takeout food counter with some colorful wooden birdhouses is more like: Cluck! Cluck!
"She said I do I, do I, do I what, She said I do, I do cluck, cluck"
- taken from one of my favorite jams from Dr. Doolittle 2.
The Birdhouse serves up fresh roasted "birds" (5 lb rotisserie chickens), fried chicken, breaded chicken tenders, sides (potato wedges, rice, salads), deli sandwiches (made to order or grab & go), hot & cold subs, and grab & go items. Pizza should be offered in the future. See the menu at http://www.exit2on101.com/Menu.html
The prices are very fair, most subs & sandwiches priced at $5.99-$7.49 and come with chips and pickle. Lunch Box Specials are offered including a 1/3 lb Angus Hamburger served with fries and pickle for $4.99 plus tax. You're given a ticket with your total and you cash out at the convenience store register.
I stopped in here on the way home from work around 5:30PM. The big juicy "birds" juicy were roasting on the rotisserie. I took a quick glance in the heated glass display case at the counter which had fried chicken, plump chicken tenders, and big potato wedges. I didn't see any other sides available on this visit.
I decided to get a Large Steak & Cheese Sub ($7.49 plus tax) with lots of toppings, which came with Wise potato chips and pickle spear. The sub was made and grilled to order by the friendly staff. This BIG 14" Steak & Cheese Sub was very good which had chunks of tender shaved steak, lots of melted American cheese, grilled onions & green peppers, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a thick, soft & chewy sub roll. This is one of the better gas station subs I've had in a while.
I will have to order a chicken dinner next time! read more
