robertcut's review for:
Cuquitas Restaurant (Closed)
If you're looking for cheap mexican food, this is it. The food is average, but at least it has that homecooked feeling. The tacos I had were very good as was the rice. They both had that homecooked taste.
This is a late night spot for everyone who is going home from the bars on greenville. They used to be closed one day of the week, not sure which one, or if they still do that, but we were dissapointed when we showed up and they were closed.

Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q
If you're from Central Texas then you're familiar with this place. They have multiple locations in Austin and San Antonio. This is the only location in North Texas.
If you like spicy barbecue sauce they've got it here. They have several cuts of brisket depending on how much fat you like on your meat. They also have excellent smoked turkey, beans and potato salad. The barbecue sauce is spicy here, but it's good. One of my favorite sauces.
If you like your brisket with spicy barbecue sauce, try the food here.

Jersey Mike's Subs
If you like the traditional cold sub, this is the place to go. They have what you'd consider a traditional sub, white bread, turkey or roast beef and cheese with some lettuce and tomato, and you have yourself an old fashioned sub, nothing fancy. I think they may have toasted sandwiches now, but I go here for the basics, which they do well.
Lunchtime can be crowded and finding a parking spot can be challenging,but it beats going to the subway across the street.

Bread Winners Cafe and Bakery
This is a great breakfast place. It's got a great atmosphere to relax on a Sunday morning, if you can get a table. Last time we went the wait was long, probably because it was too cold to sit outside and they were short on seating becasue they couldn't use the patio tables.
The food is great here. The french toast was great, as was the bread basket we had. There is a good variety on the menu here, so you can probably find something for you.
This place is probably my second favorite brunch spot right behind Blue Mesa.

Campania Pizza
This place advertises authentic Italian pizza. The pizza here is average as far as I'm concerned. I guess I like authentic American pizza. There are other pizza restaurants that I'd choose before this one. Not that this is bad pizza, it's just a taste difference.
It's a small dining area, but it was even smaller before they expanded into the adjoining area. The atmosphere/decor is nothing spectacular, just some nice tile work that sets this place apart.
On my last visit I had the pizza roll, but to me it just seemed like it was two slices of pizza, one on top, one on the bottom. I expected more dough, but it was just a thin crust on the bottom and top. It was also very hard to eat. I felt like I should just have gotten pizza, it would have been the same thing.
Overall I'd say this place is average. They have a good variety of unique pizzas, but if you're looking for basic pepperoni American style, this is not the place.

Celebration Restaurant
Great homecooking. Thurday nights are half-price bottles of wine. The rolls and cornbread are wonderful. The croutons for the salad are a little hard, but the vinaigrette dressing is great. The grilled salmon and the chicken fried chicken are our favorites.
At dinner, the sides are served family style. You can get seconds of any entree ordered at your table.

El Fenix Mexican Restaurant
This place does the basics well. Nothing fancy, just your basic tex-mex. I usually order the puffed tacos. The portions are generous and they bring out the food really quick.
If you go for lunch you can usually get in and out quickly. This is a local chain that's done well to keep the food authentic.

Luby's
Luby's is always a good stand-by for homecooking. However, recently, they've changed from their standard drop-in food warmers to ceramic dishes. Since doing this, it looks better, but the food doesn't stay as warm.
I enjoy their turkey and dressing. Their iced tea is my favorite at a restaurant and the vegetable plate is the best deal around.

Cisco Grill
This is a regular lunch place for us. The food is good, but more importantly, they get you in and out within an hour.
Their food has a southwestern flare and the portions are large. Fortunately, you can get a half order of most of their entrees.
The burgers are topped with shredded cheese, which I don't mind. I especially like the smoked chicken enchiladas. Don't expect mexican rice - again, this is southwestern.
Good variety. There's something for everyone here.

Burger House
This place has been here for years and has a loyal following. It's a small place in Snyder Plaza with just a few tables and a small patio.
The burgers are good. They are thin, but they taste good probably because of the salt blend that they use here. It's also used on their fries, which actually taste better than the burgers.
My wife likes the chicken fried steak sandwich and chili cheese fries.
If you're looking for a big thick burger, this is not the place. But, if you're looking for a good old fashioned burger this is the place.

Chili's Grill & Bar
What can you say about Chili's. Everyone's been here at least once, some people like it some don't. You know what you're getting here or at any one of the hundreds of locations.
I enjoy the chicken crispers. The batter is tasty. The chips and salsa are good for a chain restaurant too.
This location is not near an expressway like most locations so most people going here live nearby. Parking can be somewhat tight at times, but not as bad as the walnut hill location.
Overall, better than some other chains, you can find one anywhere, and you know what you get.

Houston's
A word of warning: If you get here at peak lunch or dinner time you're going to have a long wait, especially since they don't take reservations.
The food here is great! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The salads are large and reasonably priced, and they're good too.
Good upscale chain restaurant that does its best not feel like a chain.

Thomas Avenue Beverage Co.
Good food, good atmosphere. That kind of sums it up. This is a great place when the weather is nice and you can go out on the patio and enjoy a few drinks. The food's not bad either. The pizza and the burgers are pretty good.
This is a great place to spend a few hours and enjoy some drinks with friends, and if you get hungry the food is better than your typical bar food.

Which Wich
I always stop here when I'm having lunch at Northpark, and it's always crowded. You might be confused at first about how to order, but it's really easy. Just grab a bag for the kind of sandwhich you want and mark your toppings, sauces, etc. and take your bag to the cashier. They slide the bag down the line and make your sandwich. Because of this bag system, this is one place they have never messed up my order.
The sandwiches are pretty good compared to some competitors like Subway or Quiznos. They toast the sandwich and seem to use fresh ingredients and quality meat.
Good place for a quick bite to eat.

Blue Mesa Grill
We only come here for the brunch. It's our favorite brunch/breakfast spot. They have everything here, from waffles and bacon, to beef and chicken fajitas. They even have dessert. They have omelets, rice, beans, and many other side items too. Even the coffe and mimosas are included in the $15 price. Everything I've tried here is exceptional. My favorite is the beef fajitas. It's got a great marinade and never dissapoints.
If you're looking for a great buffet then this is the place to go. There is something for everyone. You can't beat the selection and quality for only $15.

Hog Wild (Closed)
I've gone through the drive thru window twice, so this review is only based on my experience going through the drive thru window.
I'll say that the first time I went through and ordered it didn't take too long, but it wasn't quick by any means, even though there was only one car in front of me. The next time was a different story. I waited in line for about ten minutes, with only one car in front of me. I was told it would be just a minute when I got to the speaker, then I waited for about ten minutes and no one ever spoke to me, so as soon as the car in front of me pulled away, I moved up to the window. I sat there for at least a couple more minutes, but no one greeted me, and I know one person in there saw me. I ended up driving away after wasting about 15 minutes. I was hungry and angry, and haven't gone back since.
The one time I was able to order and try the food it was average. The brisket was okay, nothing great. The barbecue sauce was terrible. I used my own sauce that I had at home.
I haven't decided if I'll go back given my experiences.

Tacos y Mas
This is a small place right off greenville. We picked up some food to go and it tasted okay, but several hours later my wife and I were sick. Let's just say we won't be going back. There are plenty of other taco stands around.

Penne Pomodoro Italian Bistro
We showed up at lunch here hoping for a good meal, the food was good, but the service was not.
The decor is nothing spectacular, it's as if they are trying to make it look like a typical chain restaurant.
My wife had the salmon, which she really enjoyed. I had the angel hair pasta and meat sauce, which was also good.
The waitress was very slow, not only to bring us our food, but also the check, and she didn't come to our table very often. It was lunchtime, but wasn't very crowded, so I'm not sure what the problem was, it took at least an hour and a half, for what should have been an hour or less.
Overall, good food, but service, at least on this visit was lacking.

Mariano's
Great Food! This is a new location that moved from Old Towne. They did a good job in creating a fun atmosphere.
The chips and salsa are very good, if you get some queso too they're even better.
I had the tacos on my last visit and they were great. A few jalapenos, and tomato pieces in the meat gave it a good flavor without making it too hot or spicy.
The to go parking spots also make it a good place to pick up food quickly. The two times I've picked up food the spots were open, which made it easy to run in and out.
Definitely good food and a great atmosphere.

Taco Delite
This is one of my favorite fast food restaurants, probably the best for tacos and for value.
The taco plate comes with tacos, rice, beans and chips. The rice is very good for a fast food restaurant. The tacos taste homemade, and the chips are good too.
Overall, for a quick meal in Frisco, and for the prices, you can't beat it.

Gloria's
Happy Hour is the best reason to come here. You can sit on the patio when the weather is nice and enjoy the beers and margaritas for $2, and they have more than just the usual Miller and Bud that most restaurants have for happy hour specials. They also have complimentary bean dip, salsa, and chips to go with those beers or margaritas.
It can be hard to find parking on Greenville, but valet is complimentary, just pull in to the Starbucks parking lot.
Great happy hour place to meet friends or just relax with a drink after work.

Campisi's Egyptian Lounge
This is really a Dallas restaurant that everyone has heard about. If you haven't been there, you should definitely try it. You won't be disappointed.
The pizza is what most people go to Campisis for, it's some of the best in Dallas. It's a thin crust pizza, with what I consider the best pizza sauce in Dallas. It has a good balance of sauce and cheese, not like some pizzas that are all cheese or all sauce. This is probably my favorite pizza in Dallas.
I can't comment on the other food, although I've heard it's great, because everytime I go in there I get pizza.
It can get crowded on Friday and Saturday nights, so get there early, or stop by for lunch.

The Blue Goose Cantina
This is a restaurant we go to regularly. It has consistently good food and service.
I usually order the beef tacos with rice. The taco meat has a nice spice to it, not overpowering. The rice has a very good taste, what traditional tex-mex rice should be like. The fajitas are good as well. They have a unique marinade that can overpower the meat, but I enjoy the flavor, so for me it's okay.
It can get crowded here on days when the weather is good as there are patio tables outside. Overall, a good consistent restaurant.

Pei Wei Asian Diner
We come here at least once a week for lunch. It's always crowded after 11:45. Get there early or you'll be waiting for a table, expecially if you have a group of more than 4. The food is consistently good for a chain restaurant.
My favorite item is the honey seared chicken. It has a slightly sweet flavor, without too much of that honey flavor. Other favorites include the mongolian beef and the pad thai.
If you want consistently good fast casual dining this is the place to go.

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse
We've been here a couple of times. The service and atmosphere have been good, but the food at least for me, just wasn't great. My wife enjoyed the fish tacos last time we went, but I had the deep dish pizza, and it wasn't good. I was disappointed in the food last time as well when I ordered the spaghetti. I guess I'll have to try something besides Italian here.
