WRR: The Pizza Stop

Frankly, if you’re out in Magna, it’d be a waste to skip a stop by The Pizza Stop.

I’ll make this simple: order the combo pizza. Heaped with mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni, and olives, I looked hesitently on my first bite. I mean–who puts vegetables and fungi on a good pizza?

It took all of one bit to convince myself that the choice was a good one. [cont…]

WRR: Greek City Grill

Latest contestant in that contest (to taste like a gyro) is the Greek City Grill. Two words to describe my experience there: Mission Accomplished.

The gyro was sliced lamb meat in a traditional white sauce on a warm and freshly baked pita. The meat was tasty and broke apart easily, but tasted like it had been cooked just a bit longer than necessary. Just barely, and it wouldn’t deter me from returning. The tomatoes and onions were fresh, [cont…]

WRR: Robin’s Nest

Who doesn’t love a good sandwich? The first time I tried to get into Robin’s Nest the line was out the door, and I left. The second time, I came before the lunch rush, and I still had to wait. That’s almost always a good sign. In this case, the signs proved true. With a […]

WRR: Pat’s Barbecue

I went looking for good barbecue and where I found it was about as interesting as the food. If you’re headed to Pat’s Barbecue, don’t go expecting brass buttoned waiters and a multicourse meal. Bring an appetite, a friend or four, and plan on good eats, though, because that’s what you can expect. At a friend’s […]

WRR: Cotton Bottom Inn

There’s no reason you should write off a venue just because it looks like a run down,  hole-in-the-wall shack. I mean, as long as all you want is a darn good burger, then the venue shouldn’t really bother you too much, right? (I mean, short of anything dangerous to your moral sensibilities or common sense, […]

Firehouse BBQ: They Have a Real BBQ

If you’re going to go out for BBQ, you might as well go get it right off the barbecue. Serious. I have no idea how I found it, but Firehouse BBQ puts the fire, and the BBQ, back into…well, you get the point. While my friend and I are sitting there examining and enjoying the sweet […]

Bohemian Brewery & Grill: Sprechen ze Good Food?

If it were to be judged solely on the service, then Bohemian Brewery & Grill would earn a “Two Thumbs Up” and a Gold Star, too. Add food to the equation, and I doubt the score would change. Within seconds of walking into the Bohemian for the first time, I was greeted with a smile, […]
