Diners Drive-Ins and Dives
How have I not written a review for Pam’s? I love this delicious unique gem of
a restaurant. I’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu and even been here
with someone who lived in Jamaica.
On my way through Fairhope I discovered this little place in the French quarter
and couldn’t get enough of it, so when I had the chance to go back I jumped at
it. Couldn’t be happier.
We found this place when we planned a trip to Chicago from Diner’s drive-in’s
and dives. Guy did not disappoint! Featured from the show was a meatball
sandwich, so I got a meatball/sausage combo. It was great, reminiscent of the
kind of stuff I grew up with on the east coast, all aspects of the sandwich
being great. The two people we interacted with were both great, super
friendly.
Parasol’s Restaurant & Bar is on the corner of Third and Constance Streets.
Good enough food. Some really good, some well….good enough. Great vibe in the
bar most the time. Been there a dozen times and only felt like the locals were
creeping one time. Moderate drink prices.
Bakery Fresh Stretch Bread & Spicy Hot Tomato Oil - bread was fresh and chewy,
but not served warm (not a problem); oil had just enough heat to call it spicy,
but wasn’t overly seasoned; this complementary dish makes ordering another
appetizer unnecessary; bought a couple jars of the oil to bring home.
I eat a lot of BBQ. I make a lot of BBQ. I have several smokers and pretty
much every weekend I’ve got something cooking low and slow, trying to perfect
the subjective and un-perfectible craft of BBQ (wait, is un-perfectible a
word?). Even As I type this, I’ve got a dozen hot wings on the smoker.
I’ve had bbq all across the country in some pretty cool joints methinks.
I’ve been wanting to stop into Patrick’s for almost 10 years now. I’m glad I
finally did.
I had the avocado burger which was really good. Cooked perfectly. The decor is
awesome. A great eclectic feel and I had good service.
The menu covers breakfast and lunch with some blurring in the middle. Lots of
omelets, hamburgers, pancakes and waffles.
Heat attack on a plate? Yes please…. All I have to say that the burgers are
pretty outstanding. I came here with a group of co-workers for dinner and was
not disappointed. Between us we had the Caw Caw, Wadmalaw and Beaufort
burgers. We all got them with the pretzel buns.
Primarily known for their excellent hand-pulled noodles, beef rolls and soups.
I’ve had the brisket solo, and the ribs solo…so I can really taste it. After
tasting the meats on their own…all I can say is YES YES YES! Damn near
orgasmic experience on that fatty brisket. The ribs aren’t short stopping
either.
This is a good old fashioned hamburger joint with a jukebox in the back. I
don’t know the name of what I got, but it had a fried egg on it & that always
gets my vote.
I seldom give five stars, let alone to a Mexican restaurant, but I honestly
cannot find fault with our dining experience. We arrived on Friday night and
were seated immediately. We did not even know that they have happy hour before
7pm and the margaritas are only $3! I got a frozen and the wife got on the
rocks and they were excellent, so much so we got a second each!
Everything here is good and there is so much of it so I’m not going to go in
depth talking about all the different stuff. Just find something that sounds
good or interesting, and it won’t disappoint. Except the sweet tea, it always
tastes funny. Get a coke in a glass bottle, way more fun.
Pete’s was definitely worth the drive from OC to Ventura. As soon as I chewed
on that marvelous hash, my blood pressure normalized after being raised from
LA’s traffic.
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet, it’s probably the restaurant
I have eaten most at in Spokane and what no review.
What a great place to make a pitstop on the way to Fisherman’s Wharf or the
Ferry Building! I can’t believe I’ve always walked past this place every time
I’ve been in the bay area and never gave it a chance.
Pine State Biscuits launched their kitchen at the bustling Portland Farmers
Market in spring of 2006.
The restaurant is a bit more upscale than a regular pizzeria. There are even
servers if you don’t want to go the take out route. Nice dining room.
