Shari's Restaurant & Pie Bakery, Tualatin, OR

I frequently eat at chain restaurants, but seldom write about them. But Shari's in Tualatin deserves a mention.

I like chain restaurants because you know what you'll be getting when you need a meal. I like Shari's Restaurants because they generally have good food, good portions, and good service. They are a good place to eat.

Shari's opened fairly recently in Tualatin and after eating there three times last year I came to the conclusion that this was not a typical Shari's -- they didn't have the quality in their food nor in their service. So I stopped going to the Tualatin Shari's Restaurant.

Recently on two occasions friends requested that we meet at the Tualatin Shari's Restarant for dinner. I'm happy to report they have changed and now have the quality I expect from a Shari's Restaurant. I'm glad I went back. I've had both their fish and chips and a steak, both were good. So they are back on my list of good places to eat.

As a side note, although when it comes to desert Shari's is known for their pies, when I asked for vanilla ice cream with onion for my desert, although it wasn't on the menu they made it special just for me.
