Click here to see my review on Yelp. Let me start by saying that my five star review extends to all Pappadeaux locations that I have been to. Service is consistently good, the food is excellent, and they’re consistently top notch. And I’ve been to multiple locations–Chicago, Cincinnati, and of course, multiple ones in Texas […]
Positive
These are reviews / posts / etc that carry a positive connotation. :-)
Review – Yia Yia Mary’s – Houston, Texas
(Click here to see this review on Yelp) Pete and Jim Pappas (the owners of the famous Pappas restaurants, of which, Yia Yia Mary’s is one of them) aren’t Mexican or Spanish in their background, believe it or not. (I know, I know–Pappasito’s is awesome.) They’re also not Cajun (Pappadeaux is also awesome also.) Nope. […]
Review – N9NE Steakhouse – Las Vegas, Nevada
(Five stars, going on seven. Read below.) Click here to see my review on Yelp. I’m not sure how I haven’t reviewed N9NE yet. This is inexcusable. I thought I had. I’ve only eaten here once earlier this year. However, this was the greatest meal of my life. And folks, I’m 29, I’ve got a […]
Review – Expedition Everest – Walt Disney World – Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), Florida
Click here to see my review on yelp. This is an excellent attraction, and probably one of the most innovative rides at Disney. On a sadder note, this is one of the sole reasons I even bother going to the Animal Kingdom. The Animal Kingdom is probably my least favorite of the WDW parks. (And, […]
Review – The Cake Guys – Dallas, Texas
Click here to see this review on Yelp. My wife and I had our wedding cakes done by the Cake Guys. The cakes were incredible. My wife found the cake guys very easy to work with, and was equally surprised to learn that Chad (the baker she was working with) would be featured on a […]
Review – Herrera’s Cafe – Dallas, Texas
Click to view this review on Yelp. Unbelievable. How did I not find Herrera’s sooner? Potentially it’s location, but… damn. Herrera’s is easily one of the better Tex-Mex joints in DFW. It’s really popular (which adds to my shock in how long it took me to find it.) One of my best friends and I […]
Review – The State Fair of Texas – Dallas, Texas
Link to Yelp Review. The Texas State Fair is consistently ranked in the top 5 state fairs in the country. (The other top ones generally include Minnesota, New York, and Iowa.) It’s not hard to see why. There’s multiple good reasons.: 1 – Rides. There’s many notable ones on the midway here, including three roller […]
Review – Quaker Steak and Lube – Carrollton, Texas
Link to Yelp I can’t believe that Quaker Steak gets 2 and a half stars on Yelp as of this writing. I disagree. I’d probably give it 3 and a half stars, but I’m going to round up to four. Buffalo Wild Wings in Lewisville is the closest direct competitor (I guess Frankie’s […]
Disneyland’s Blue Bayou – Chicken Gumbo
I know, I know… the Blue Bayou gets knocked a bunch when talking about dining at Disney. Some of the criticism is warranted… However, the Chicken Gumbo is both excellent and memorable. I’m typing this 7 months after I had this (9/17… right before I go back to Disney World and right after the 1st […]
Review: Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill
Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill – 5 Stars Ahhh, Kenny’s. One of the best places to eat in Dallas, hands down. I could probably write all day about Kenny’s restaurants. This is the first restaurant that I was exposed to from Kenny. The “Kenny’s” restaurants (collectively) are essentially my second (possibly first) favorite place to eat […]
