Lotawata Creek Fairview Heights, IL
The place was very busy the night my wife and I had dinner here; from that alone, I expected the food to be top notch. I was a bit disappointed. The food was fine, just not up to what I expected. Please don't take me wrong, I would not deter anyone from eating here. The portions were certainly large.
Bahia Cabana Beach Resort Fort Lauderdale, FL
My wife and I had dinner one evening in June of 2002. It was a delightful time. Nice to sit outside and look at the boats in the harbor. Several diners came to the restaurant via water craft. My wife had chicken Quesadilias and mozzarella sticks. I ate Bahamian conch chowder and a Jamaican Jerk chicken sandwich. We were both happy with our food.
Chicago's Pizza Cloverdale, IN
Although I live nearly a hundred miles from Cloverdale, I have stopped here several times over the past ten years; sometimes alone, and sometimes with my wife. Their salad bar is nothing to rave about. But the pizza is pretty good. And the staff is friendly and efficient.
Icebox Cafe & Pub International Falls, MN
I don't know if this place is still in business or not. My wife and I stopped here for lunch in June of 2001. But, from our vacation diary, I note that it was a friendly kind of place - not too large but well attended the day we were there. The food was nothing special - which is not to say that it was not good. It was fine, just not noteworthy.
Elephant & Castle Restaurant Saskatoon, SK
My opinion of the place is quite different from the last person to write a review. My wife and I stopped here for lunch while on vacation (June 2001). While that is quite a while back, my recollection of the place is assisted by our vacation diary. This pub type place looks to enjoy a lively lunch crowd at this downtown location. We both enjoyed our food. My wife had a turkey pot pie and I order their shepard's pie.
Boston Pizza Lloydminster, AB
It has been a while since I was here. It was in June of 2001 that my wife and I stayed overnight in Lloydminster while on vacation. Our trip diary helped out my memory of the place. I thought the pizza was very good, the amount of food was plentiful. But I also thought the price was perhaps a bit much for pizza. It sure appeared to be very popular the night we were there, which, unfortunately meant that it was a bit on the noisy side also.
Julio's Barrio Edmonton, AB
My wife and I had lunch here while on vacation a few years back. My wife had their sampler and I ordered a burrito con carne. Both were good. Perhaps the most notable thing about our meal: the portions were so large that neither of us could finish.
Top Notch Beefburgers Oak Lawn, IL
I have eaten here several times in the past. The decor is nothing special. The prices are ok. So, why should one eat here? GOOD BURGERS, that's why.
El Zarape Wheaton, IL
A colleague and I ate dinner here once in April of 2004. We were in the area and both had a taste of Mexican food that evening. We found the place to be very nice. I believe the structure began life as a gas station but this is not a negative comment. The decor was fine, as was the food and service. If in the area again, I would stop here again.
Lucky's Diner Hillside, IL
This place used to located on Wolf Road near Butterfield. It is now located in the same building as the bowling alley and has alot more room. It's decor is similar to that of a 1950s style diner. I have eaten here several times but only for breakfast. It appears to be frequented by regulars. If I lived near there, I would likely be a regular too. The food I have eaten there is standard restaurant breakfast fare but it has always been good. The staff is friendly also.
Pagliacci's Pizzeria Mattoon, IL
Since I reviewed this last year, I believe that another star is due them. They have expanded their menu as well as their hours. If you like really good thin crust pizza and want to eat it in a friendly environment, this is the place.
Jumbo Buffet Mattoon, IL
This place is a fairly common shopping center Chinese buffet. The food was good (although I have had better egg drop soup), the place was clean and the price was resonable.
Beef House Covington, IN
If you enjoy first rate beef, look no further. This is the place. I have eaten here probably five times over the past 15 years. This place is nearly a hundred miles (one way) from where I live. Most of the occasions I have eaten here I was already in the area on other business. However, since my wife had never experienced the place, we did, on one occasion, make the trip just so both of us could enjoy dinner here.
Wildfire Restaurant & Bar Idaho Springs, CO
My wife and I had a late breakfast here in June of 2003 while on vacation. Although it has been a while, I remember it as we write a diary of our journeys. My recollection brings to mind the following: friendly place, good food, service was ok. The portions were large - we split a Spanish omelet. You can eat outside on their porch if you desire - something we like to do when the weather permits.
Sydney's Restaurant Munising, MI
My wife and I had dinner here one night while vacationing in the UP. The salad bar was good. My wife enjoyed her shrimp alfredo and my fish was ok. While I wouldn't write home about the food here, I am writing this review. The place seemed to be a popular place the day we were there.
Mancino's Houghton, MI
My wife and I spent 27 bucks (including gratuity) on pizza and nachos. While the food was good, the atmosphere added nothing, making it overpriced in retrospect.
Wilmarth's Deep Water Grille Ashland, WI
Ashland was one of our overnights hile on a sight-seeing vacation in the summer of 2003. We asked for and got a restaurant recommendation from the desk clerk at our motel. While we often do this, sometimes it is just ok, but this time it was a real winner. This place is in a turn of the century (not the most recent century!) building. The building was neat looking, the atmosphere was pleasant, the wait staff was friendly and the food was good. My wife had their raspberry chicken breast and I had jambalaya. It was one of the best restaurants on our trip. With tip, the bill was $40.
Blue Note Cafe Duluth, MN
My wife and I stopped here while on vacation in June of 2003. It is located in a touristy area, near a downtown/harborside park. We had hot drinks and a little pastry. It was good. The place has the atmosphere of a yuppy style coffee shop but we enjoyed it anyway.
Wall Drug Wall, SD
Many (most?) people already know about this place, being perhaps the most billboard-advertised place in America. Should you stop here for the food? No. But you should stop here once in your life just to experience the mother of all tourist traps. But my wife and I did decide to eat some lunch during our visit in June of 2003. Not bad, but not good - just average.
Flying T Barbecue Supper Rapid City, SD
I doubt very much that people who live in the area frequent this place. It is the type of place that you go to once or twice. It is a tourist type restaurant. You eat at tables with a bunch of people you don't know after being hurried through a line where they fill your tray with food that is good, but certainly not great. And then you listen to old-style country music and corny jokes. I don't intend for any of what I have already written to deter the reader from going. In fact, I recommend it. No, it is not fine dining but it sure was fun. That's why I gave it four stars.
