an old man's restaurant review

My personal favorite in Bbrg: Boulder Creek
Why? On a winter day, if you ask the hostess to seat you in a warm spot they can actually do it.
Their salads are the most interesting of anywhere within a half hour radius.
They have the best pizza outside of the Cheesecake Factory.
They have the best atmosphere in town and great service

Best pulled pork: HogHeads
Only problem is, it never seems like they warmed the meat up enough.

Best Mexican food: I'm sorry about this but Taco Bell still beats all the other more authentic places I've eaten at. Their Chalupas are the best. I'm still looking though because of, read on...

Dirtiest restaurants in town: Taco Bell and Burger King. I won't go back.

Most interactive restaurant: I like ringing the bell (for good service) at Arby's

Second best restaurant in Bbrg: Sal's Famous Pizzeria.
The food is great, the decor and atmosphere will bring a smile to your face, it's a family operated restaurant, it's never crowded. It needs more customers to give it more background noise.

Best Breakfast: Flapjacks
Nothing else even comes close. The pancakes are great, the skillet is a meal that will last all day, great coffee. They give you a lot of food, but if they cut back on the way they package their breakfasts and offered a good $2.00 breakfast Monday through Friday they would make a killing.

Honorable Mention: Sweet Home Chicago.
The mention is for the Walter Payton memorabilia on the walls.

Taco Bell? Banned? No way!

The best pizza is Ana Maries in Streator remember? Or joes? Or Papa Joes?

I stand by my decision with the Taco Bell in Bbrg, the one in Avn is only slightly cleaner.

Adam, I'll buy you a pizza at Cheesecake Factory or Boulder Creek and then we will have a mind meld on the best pizza.

Tyler, once Casey's opens up we'll have a place where there is almost a lead pipe cinch that we can get combos when we want them.

I don't know about Taco Bell. There is nothing like the complimentary chips and salsa that most mexican restraunts give you and for the best taco in town I'll still say it is La Hacienda. It is all about the cheese.
