Lawrence Park Restaurant

Great place to chill in the summer since there’s a patio and cheap drinks. Also one of the places in the area that watches UFC fights.

In a place as dim and bar-​like as this, you wish there were booths. You won’t find any here. There’s a pool table and a very loud television. The former is situated so that if you sit in the wrong place you might find yourself leaning out of the way so people can make a shot. The latter is so loud — so very loud — that you won’t need to make conversation with anyone.
The food, on the other hand, is surprising. Surprisingly cheap and tasty — with very large portions. My husband and I decided to give this place a go, and even after chicken parmigiana, spaghetti, 5 beers, a diet soda, a cappuccino and an espresso, we walked out full and paid just under 40 dollars.
The waitress was very sweet, and although she was flirting it up with some guys at the bar, she was fairly attentive to us. She asked how things were in a way that made you think she cared how happy we were with the food — which is a nice touch.
The menu has misspellings galore — like you can order a «Home made soap,» or have fettuccine with a «ligth cream sauce». But don’t let it scare you off. It’s not fine dining by any stretch, but if you’re hungry and in the area, it’s decent food at a great price.
