MYSTERY
THE
MUNCHER writes . . .
Max & Erma's on Orchard
Lake Road and 14 Mile in
Hunter's Square Shopping
Center is Farmington Hills'
answer to TGI Friday's but
with its own unique flavor.
The restaurant is
targeted for the 21-45 age
' ily cu os f-
t the
l family
o uep r and io
tgor m
seeking a avariety
creative cuisine at reason-
able prices, good service
with a flair and a smile and
a fun, attractive atmos-
phere.
Operators tout the casual,
popular new eating spot as a
fun place for fun people.
This is evidenced through-
out from the unique pasta
bar with pile-it-on-yourself
sauces and raw seafood bar
decorated with black, red
and white stained glass and
tile to the dining room with
its upbeat atmosphere.
Hanging Tiffany lamps,
red checkered tablecloths,
candles, and walls dotted
with old, interesting, if not
authentic, family portraits
create the warmth lacking
in some of the more contem-
porary restaurant decors.
Max & Erma's caters to
kids who are treated to
colorful balloons, enjoy the
video games and partake of
the do-it-yourself ice cream
sundae bar where small fry
and parents too can build
their own caloric dessert.
Max & Erma's re-
staurateurs pride them-
selves on seving fresh,
natural, home-made prod-
ucts instead of freezing food
ahead of time.
We were impressed with
the vodka and grapefruit
juice which is fresh instead
of bottled or canned. You
could tell the juice was
freshly squeezed by the
morsels of grapefruit in the
cocktail.
The menu also features
Max's Special Swizzlers in-
cluding such specialities as
'Kahlua, cream and Coke,
Pina Colada disguised with
vanilla ice cream, vodka,
cranberry and apple juice
and Strawberry Colada
with coconut, strawberries,
rum and pineapple juice.
Appetizers, billed as
"Munificent Munchies" are
Mexican nibbles, baked
brie, potato skins stuffed
with you name it, fried
mushrooms and zucchini,
chicken fingers and Orien-
tal sesame fried chicken
wings.
We skipped the munchies
but enjoyed a crock of
French onion soup au gratin
with a thick, gooey crust of
Swiss cheese.
We chose the fried clam
dinner which is one of the
few items Erma allows to be
frozen. She says they're bet-
ter than she could make
herself. They come with
onion rings, French fries
and creamy tole slaw.
The menu offers a variety
of dishes ranging from St.
Louis style bar-b-que spare
ribs to turkey and avocado
croissant sandwiches with

homemade potato chips to
stir fried chicken and veg-
etables.
If you're hungry, you can
have filet mignon or New
York strip steak. Salads are
humungous and so are the
dozen different hamburger
combinations. For an
Oriental flavor, there's
shrimp tempura and tem-
pura fried kabobs.
The chocolate chip cheese
cake sprinkled with fresh
German sweet chocolate
shavings looked so inviting
we couldn't resist ordering
it. We weren't disappointed.
If you're so inclined, you
can top off your meal with
your choice of a variety of
dessert coffees spiked with
almost any kind of liquor
you can imagine.
Adding to the upbeat at-
mosphere are waiters and
waitresses who have a
light-hearted, energetic,
cheerful attitude.
Speaking of service, sour
lemons to over-zealous bus-
boys in some restaurants
who ask you if you're
finished when half way
through your soup or salad
so they can grab your dishes
and silverware right from
under you.
We went to a well-known,
suburban dining spot where
the busboy removed our sil-
verware before we were
served the main course. He
kept butting in all through
the meal with "Are you done
yet?" almost ruining an
otherwise good dinner.
More sour lemons to wait-
resses who start off with,
"I'm Suzie and I'll be your
waitress tonight." After
that hearty introduction
she disappears for a good 30
minutes while you.sit there
twiddling your thumbs
without so much as a glass
of water to drink.
Suzie finally returns, no
longer smiling, and mum-
bles something that sounds
like, "Well, have you made
up your mind yet?" If you
commit the faux pas of ask-
ing her what she recom-
mends, she glares at you
and replies, "It depends on
what you like. Everybody
has different tastes."
If you're undecided, she
impatiently says she'll be
right back and keeps you
waiting another 30 min-
utes. She grimaces as
though her feet are aching
and never says another
word that's decent until she
gives you the check and tells
you she'll take your money
whenever you're ready.
Some waitresses have
practically ignored us until
the check comes and then
hover over us because it's
late and they're anxious to
go home.
We've been served by
waitresses who rush us
through the meal, turn us
over to another girl becliuse
it's the end of their shift and
then sit at a table smoking
cigarettes with other em-
ployees.
Sour lemons to waiters
and waitresses who don't
