Restaurants
Babe’s Bar-B-Que & Brewery
Famous for their spit-roasted pork drowning in smoky BBQ sauce, and skinny sweet potato fries . It's the perfect treat for a fall day, a plate of savory ribs or tender brisket accompanied by tangy coleslaw and a frosty beer. There are some cool piggy souveniers for sale inside the bar .
Piero's Acqua Pazza
862-9800
Not so great experience!
French onion soup was mostly a big ball of cheese, and very salty. The $8 spinach dip was chopped frozen spinach, microwaved and flavorless. My $10 speciality cocktail had to be sent back as it was awful and way too strong. It tooka very long time to get their attention, and the bill had to be redone as it was done incorrectly the first time. The restaurnat was not busy at all when this all occured so there should have been no excuse NOT to give us better service.
The Cheesecake Factory
Not worth it !!!! Overpriced , mediocre appetizers, burnt meatloaf, crusty cold potatoes that had obviously sat on the heat line too long. Very poor presentation on the expensive coffee drinks. The Market cheese burger was served on a dry french roll,with the unmelted cheese sitting on top of a warm tomato slice. When we asked the manager why a cheeseburger was served to us without melting the cheese, as is customary in the rest of America, he replied
" Oh, that's just the way we do it here, we like to be different".
Yard House
779-1415
Great casual dining for the whole family. Indulge in classic comfort foods such as 3 tier turkey clubhouses and onion rings. Wash it all down with a frosty glass of goodness from the World's Largest Selection of Draft Beers. Stop by the Yard House and choose from a variety of draft beer with 180 tap handles, signature martinis, & premium spirits . |
