Bites Nearby: East Side Grill

With so many dining selections along Hall Road, off-Hall restaurants can sometimes be forgotten.

Not wanting to forsake these equally tasty venues, this week's Bites Nearby takes you off the beaten track.

Located just a mile off Hall Road at Hayes and 21 Mile, East Side Grill offers a wide variety of cuisine whose taste and price easily rivals those of eateries on M-59.

Greatest Dish Ever: Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Burger, followed by the Cookie Monster. Spice up your tastebuds with this half pound burger basted with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and topped with cheddar cheese, onion straws and bacon. Then cool things down with FIVE large warm chocolate chip cookies topped with vanilla ice cream, drizzled with Sanders Hot Fudge and finished with homemade whipped cream. Yum.

Don't Miss: The birthday club. You can sign up online (here) and score a free meal or dessert on your birthday. The only catch is you can't eat alone. For the deal to be valid, two or more friends must order entrees with you.

The Vibe: Relaxed. From homemade pizza, to the mouth-watering Ghirardelli Brownie Surprise, East Side Grill is serving up your favorite comfort food in a warm, laid-back atmosphere.

Cool Factor: This is a free Wi-Fi hotspot.
