Belle Plaine is a small community with limited types of food to eat. Belle Plaine students have a variety of tastes and have voiced their opinions on what they prefer.
The most popular choice among high school students is pizza. The second choice was steak. Other foods mentioned were hamburgers, spaghetti, seafood, Chinese, ribs, fruit, chicken, chocolate, ice cream, and bacon. Popular restaurants or fast food joints include: Ryan’s Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Applebee’s, Texas Road House, Red Lobster, Subway, Pizza Hut, Buffalo Wild Wings, and McDonald’s.
When a select few were asked, “What new eatery do you think we should get in Belle Plaine?” They responded…Chinese, Mexican, McDonald’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, or a place that serves more healthy meals.
For now the people of Belle Plaine have to travel 15 to 30 miles if they have a craving for something different. It would be nice to have more of a choice when eating out, but until there is a population boom, Belle Plaine students will have to be satisfied with what they already have.
