Sorry for the delay in posting these. It seems everytime I go to a restaurant that is Paleo friendly I forget my camera. Luckily this time one of my friends I was with had an iPhone on hand.
Southlake Grill
Located about one block west of REI is the Southlake Grill. This is one of four locations, each with a different name but the same menu (Greenlake, Eastlake, and Lake Forest).
Besides the typical salads, this restaurant has a number of Paleo choices.
Here’s what I had:
“Grilled Boneless Half Chicken: Natural Washington Grown Chicken with an orange-basil sauce, garlic mashed potatoes & seasonal veggies.”
The mashed potatoes, were easily substituted for sweet potato fries, or if you want to stay even more strict, you can just ask for double the veggies (carrots and broccoli). And yes, I gave the ketchup and ranch away.
So how was it?
Taste: 10
Nutrition: 8 (10 with double vegetables)
Filling: 10
Price: $ (usually $$)
Overal Value: 9-10
Ingredients not confirmed to be 100% free of soy, grains, artificial ingredients, and added sugar
Every Sunday this location only has a screaming deal. Every single food item on the menu is 50% off. This entire entree as pictured was $8.75 after tax.
the sweet potato fries aren’t really paleo. might want to knock down the rating on the nutrition from a ten.
You are right, I guess I didn’t write that too clearly. If you go for the double veggies it is a 10, I’ll put it at 8 for with the fries.
Also beware that this restaurant changes their seasonal “vegetables” and now includes beans….when will people learn? Hopefully after my next blog post.
