Dinner menu ideas.. What's your favs?

I have a restaurant that's only open for breakfast and lunch. I am expanding, and would like to serve dinner as well. I'd like to hear your favorites when you go to a restaurant for dinner, and any other ideas you may have. I'm interested in ideas for chicken, beef, pork, pasta, seafood, and vegetarian.



I have a few ideas of my own, and your opinion would be great!



Herb roasted 1/2 chicken

Chicken and Biscuits

Meatloaf

Shrimp or Chicken Linguine



Also, all dinners will be served with choice of soup or salad, and fresh baked roll. The atmosphere is a bit more upper class than Ruby Tuesdays.



Thank you all. YOU ROCK!!Dinner menu ideas.. What's your favs?

Sounds delicious.



If you can, try to incorporate a good cut of steak. My BF and father only order steaks wen dining out.



I also enjoy a good BBQ stuffed potato. IDK why, but if it's on the menu, I order it.



I would add a few different pasta dishes, because lots of people enjoy pasta, but I prefer a penne or bowtie as opposed to a fettuccine or linguine pasta.



A MUST HAVE is chicken fried steak. It's a staple. You must have it on the menu!



Try a lemon pepper chicken breast, pork chops, and maybe pot roast with rosemary potatoes. Yummy.
wraps are always a huge hit. I like BLT wraps, personally.



A favorite burger of mine is honey wheat kaiser roll, turkey burger, gouda cheese and bacon, it's delicious. You can season the burger meat anyway you'd like, but I like to add garlic seasoning, onion powder, worcestershire sauce and soy.



here's a whole lots of sandwiches and wraps recipes w/ pictures and reviews.

I usually go for the chicken dishes, personally. So a roasted chicken like you are suggesting, plus maybe a chicken cacciatore (spelling?) dish. I know that my guy really loves his ribs, so that's an option. And a really good cut of steak would be nice. "Steak Au Poivre" (peppercorn/cognac sauce) with little roasted potatoes is really nice too, I'd order that for sure. Would a beer battered fish and chips dish be ok for your style of restaurant? Cuz you know, I'd also order that, lol. Good luck!
