For one of few Mexican restaurants in town, it was very good and there was decent parking available.

We had one chicken empanada, one chicken taco, two pastor tacos, two carnitas, one barbacoa, and chips with guacamole. The guacamole is amazing and we will return solely for this single, tasty offering. The tacos are authentically mexican; just simple, bland, yummy goodness It's just hard to describe how something that doesn't have a lot of flavor can be so good and we aren't hot sauce people so that wasn't even touched. The service was okay, friendly enough but nothing over the top. Someone mentioned in a review that it isn't the restaurants fault that the landlord won't fix the ceiling but I find issue in that even the vents are disgusting. If it were my restaurant I would do everything in my power to make it look nice and clean enough for people to want to return a million times over. Like I said, we will probably be back but it cannot go without mentioning.

After living in this town for 24 years, I finally tried Blazers. I missed out on 24 years of wonderful burgers! I ordered and picked up at the drive-thru and as I was riving home, I grabbed a fry, which was unfortunately soggy and cold despite me waiting a couple of minutes for the order to be completed (I didn't mind waiting). The rest of the order was fresh and hot. Thinking it was a fluke, since everyone raves about their fries, I ordered them again about a week later only to have the same issue. So, I will gladly continue to go to Blazers but I will no longer order fries. They have fantastic onion rings that pair wonderfully with their burgers! My guests have had the fried mushrooms and the pickles and loved those as well. I still give 5 stars because one item on the menu does not deduct an entire star. Plus, the employees have always been absolutely great and my dogs love the treats they receive there. read more

The burger was juicy and cheesy, the taco was messy in the best way, the fries were crispy and indulgent, and the quesadilla was pure comfort food. Nothing felt heavy or overly greasy--just fresh, flavorful, and well done. If you want fast-casual that feels thoughtful and actually satisfying, Unforked is a great choice. I'll definitely be back.

The result is a delicious burger so fresh you wonder if the cow is still alive. LOL. Boulevard Burgers is tucked inside the Food Court at Johnson County Community College. They have a lock on burgers because they are the only restaurant in the Food Court that serves burgers. This monopoly, though, does not make them any more expensive or the quality any less. In fact, just the opposite. I think maybe they are the only food company because of their prices and quality. Yum, yum! You order at the small counter. They put the patty on the grill and you can see the whole process. Then you dress it up with fresh, fresh, fresh veggies. They have lettuce, tomatoes, onions and all sorts of goodies. You put your own condiments on your burger which ensures it is to your liking. The menu is limited but that does not seem to be a problem. They have delicious grilled cheese sandwiches on Fridays only. I have no idea why only Fridays but it gives you something to look forward to during a long week. They have veggie burgers, pork fritters, brats, hot dogs, chili dogs and all sorts of yummies. They have fries and delicious onion rings (sucker for onion rings). The staff is always helpful and friendly. They are happy to answer your silly questions and they are also happy to custom cook your food. I have never had a bad customer service experience here. Everything is reasonably priced and they have two price options for burgers. There is a value burger and a regular priced, bigger burger. Small or large... they are great burgers. There is also no doubt as to their freshness. Try it out.. you will not be disappointed.

The sandwich stood 3" tall with fresh veggies and mostly lean, 1/2" thick white chicken on a fresh, toasted bun. The fries were delicious, with a crunchy, tasty exterior and a meaty interior - nice! The menu included wings, smashburgers, chicken sandwiches, tenders, several side options and meals for the kiddos. I also noticed 15 sauces, five dry rubs and a good selection of beverages.
