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.
Holy Gorgonzola. All of the reviews of this place are absolutely legit. I first
read about Red Iguana in the New York Times and given I live relatively close
(regionally) figured that it’d be a place I’d check out sometime if I were ever
in the city. Well, here we are in SLC and decided to make it happen.
Guy featured the pulled pork pancakes, with Jack Daniels syrup.
I’ve been here a couple times for brunch when my mom comes to visit me at
school and every time has been great. Pancakes are fluffy and definitely more
exciting than your average place. But nothing compares to their red flannel
hash. Beets and potatoes and bacon and I don’t even know what else, but it’s
amazing. I’ve never had anything but breakfast food here, so can’t really speak
to the rest of the menu, but as far as brunch goes, delicious.
Rick and his wife Julie opened Rick’s Press Room Grill & Bar in August 2007.
Wow, what a jewel. Not only is the food great. Not ONLY is the owner a cheerful
and/or curmudgeonly former hippy or maybe biker. Not ONLY is it tiny, seating
only about 20. It’s also the only place I’ve been in awhile where you can have
a fairly decent bottle of beer with breakfast. 10 stars out of 5!
Rigoletto, a quaint counter service cafe in warm earth-tone colors, has seating
for 18, including a settee. Owner Gilda Di Domenico with daughter and son,
Jessie Gosha and Michael Gibbons, have been gathering regular clientele for
five plus years. Di Domenico, originally from Naples, previously owned bakeries
in New Hampshire. After vacationing in Virginia Beach, she decided to move
here.
Not that I want to ruin my image as a sophisticated gal, but this is the kind
of place where you shovel in the food and you have to be careful because if you
over shovel, you may not be all that happy.
