They do take checks. My kid wanted to go for his birthday a few weeks ago. The wait staff was super nice and patient with a party of 12, including kids and a baby. The bill was reasonable, the pizza was great and I paid with a check. It was Memorial Day weekend, so I called to check that they would ...
They took the "and Pizza" out of the equation. I have had the brisket and the ribs and both were better than most I have had around the area (not saying much, I know). Oh--and Hi-Ho? :yack: x10 I was sorely, sorely disappointed with the weak sauce (even though I asked for heavy)and cold meat....
Backyard burger dog is ok, but they use their usual chili which has beans. Good in chili on its own, but not my preference on a hot dog. B-Quik is an unreasonably good choice....

Not so much that particular digestive issue, but my husband and I both feel terribly hungover after eating there. Like we've been hit by a truck. And it's not the sangria b/c I was pregnant both times I went and drank nothing but water....

Brown sliced Manda sausage and chopped onion in a splash of vegetable oil in a dutch oven. Remove sausage. Add enough water to amply cover beans. I use the "fast-boil" method instead of the overnight soak -- bring beans to a boil and let them boil for approx 10 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and l...

My husband supported the choice, saying that Kraft is a basic plain sauce. KC Masterpiece :bow:...

The service is slow and take out orders frequently incorrect, but the sandwiches are good and I have been craving a shrimp quesadilla from there for weeks. Sweet Bleu salad is also really good. Never enough ice in the tea!! :banghead:...
Went for lunch yesterday. Club Royale on croissant with added sliced avocado. Mmm!...

I was getting awesome LA strawberries since late Jan/early Feb. They are not nearly as good in the last two weeks. I was thinking it was early to be done, but maybe not. Guess I'll try some CA berries for Easter trifle....

I am voting for the place on Calais. It was also "Tomato Grill" for a brief moment. No idea what they served. Vegetarian? That makes six different incarnations. Tried South of Philly Saturday. Very good! I hope they can override the cursed location and the current road construction....

Pimanyoli's. And I live in Denham and have had Cantu's. They are good, but I prefer Pimanyoli's -- they are smaller and spicier with less masa. Doe's are also good....
The dinner at Monmouth Plantation is very good - but is not private as mentioned in a previous post -- not really even at the private tables. We had a very bad experience at Pearl Street Pasta -- waited forever for food that was jut ok. There was a problem in the kitchen AND a problem with lack of w...

My boss ate at the one in Denver last week. He liked it a lot. The bison was good. Lunch was $75 for five. Very "green" -- recycled paper table covering, paper straws in the drinks....

At our family reunions (usually at the fairground) there was a ton of homemade food--but I would look for the Danny's box! There was always at least one....

Danny's is/was the BEST. There was one in Franklinton (Washington Parish) for years, but it closed a few months ago. Excellent chicken. Good, dark crust....

Re: Bourbon House... went in there Friday night because it was convenient, and we just needed a drink and an appetizer while waiting to meet some friends. We got the Crab Fingers Bordelaise, and they were literally the best food we ate all weekend. Can't say anything about the other menu items, but ...

I went about a month ago with one of those certificates. Very good food and a nice atmosphere. The roasted beet and crab salad was one of my favorite things ever. ...

re: About to go to Subway...

Posted by dcal on 10/29/08 at 11:42 am
I was in a similar situation -- don't like Subway, but that's all I had to choose from. So just ate a toasted Spicy Italian on parmesan oregano bread with mozzarella, red onion, spinach, bell pepper, olives, banana peppers and oil and vinegar. It was good and different. Almost quasi-muffaletta-ish....

Posted by dcal on 10/27/08 at 12:06 pm
It is good. No buffet. I have been for lunch several times recently. Usually only one or two tables occupied, but the food is fresh and the portions good. It is certainly frequented by a largely Asian clientele, which I think is nothing but good. Not sure why they changed the name from Nankin to Dim...
