Diners Drive-Ins and Dives
Stopped in primarily due to seeing the place on DDD years ago. I wasn’t
disappointed. We ordered a pizza with onions and green peppers, and an order
of the spaghetti and meat sauce.
We are a family owned business that believes in serving the freshest and
highest quality food.
In 1929, Marlene Dietrich starred in a wonderful German film titled “The Blue
Angel,” as a provocateur named “Lola.”
The slices could be crispier, which happens when I reheat the leftovers and
it’s not THE best pizza I have ever had (it’s definitely in the top 5 though).
My husband and I were traveling all over OR and were excited to try all the
food we hear Portland is famous for. It’s too bad we went to this place first.
The food was SOOOOO good that we ate WAY more than we should have and then
couldn’t eat for the rest of the day!
I like the “casual” (rickety back porch) decor, attentive staff, clever drinks
and dishes that range from the fragrant to the pungent.
The staff was all VERY friendly, they even put a pin on a map they have for all
the visitors form out of town for my relatives. The place is kinda small so not
ideal for groups of more then probably 5 or 6.
As a recent transplant to the Detroit area, I am always looking to find new
places to eat with my wife that offer good food at a good value. This is one of
our favorites now.
I was taken to Polka for dinner and was blown away! I had the beef stew which
was delicious! I was amazed with the hardy portion (3 vegetables). The
cabbage/potato soup was flavorful and welcoming on the cold/wet night. Service
was spot on… As soon as you walk in you feel the family warmth.
I am surprised this place only averages 3 stars! Last night was definitely a
5-star experience. Sunday night, end of summer… riding bikes down Commercial
Street and we hear the sounds of reggae music drifting over from the Porthole’s
back deck.
I went to UTA but for some reason I always avoided this place when I was in
school. Such a shame! Anyway, I recently gave this place a try and fell in
love!!! I’ve been here twice in one month now!
We went on a Friday night and were seated immediately at a table overlooking
the house band. AWESOME and fun tiki decor. We ordered our first round of
drinks (mine served in a coconut and hers served in a ceramic shrunken head)
and an order of pickle roll-ups from our friendly attentive server.
I’ve always liked Winters, and the town has grown on me so much in the past
decade or so that I’d consider moving there in the not-so-distant future.
Funky american comfort food, at a SF richmond neighborhood restaurant, with
great food.
As good as BBQ gets in the Twin Cities. I’ve been to Oklahoma Joe’s, Bryant’s
and Gates in KC, as well as Salt Lick in Austin, TX, so I’ve been blessed to
have some great BBQ. Luckily, I’ve found a place in Q-Fanatic that is
consistently good only a few miles away from my home in Ramsey.
Before Diners, Drive Inns and Dives came here, we used to eat multiple times
per week. We tried the last two years to get in but the wait was too long. We
got in this year and we all agreed it seemed to take a step back. It’s still
very good and we’ll still go, but it seems a notch below what it once was.
I don’t feel like I am overdoing it by giving R&R 5 stars. Forget about its
gas station location or its small interior (I mean really small). The food
warrants all five stars. Rodrigo Albarran has created something special here.
The prices are very reasonable, so you get the feeling that your money is going
into the food; certainly not the ambience.
Went here with a guy who grew up in Mission, and it’s his go-to place. I’d
read about it, but never been. When I first moved to KC, I made a point to
sample as many BBQ places as I could, both big names and neighborhood holes in
the wall. But I never made it to RJ’s.
The Ramona Cafe, the best dining experience in Southern California offering
down home cooking.
The first time I went to Red Arrow Diner was on impulse. Back in 2008, I
watched an episode of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Food Network and became
intrigued by their Dinah Fingers, aka homemade Twinkies. Back then I was still
living in Boston, so my boyfriend and I decided at 11:00pm one night that we
had to try these homemade Twinkies. With empty bellies, we made the hour drive
on impulse to Manchester.
