My husband ordered the bbq plate and it looked like something they served in heaven. It came with an apple cobbler. The cinnamon and nutmeg were so fragrant. And it melted in your mouth. What I liked about it was it was not too sweet. Perfect. His bbq plate looked delicious. The chicken thigh had a nice color, and great texture from the black pepper. It came with sausage and brisket, beans, and a jalapeño! Insanely good. I am so glad we stopped to eat here. I ordered a club with fries. They really underpromised and over delivered. I was expected a slice of deli meat but no, I was wrong. It was chopped chicken??? Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and perfectly buttered bread. And a lot of meat! You HAVE TO stop and eat here.

It was cooked perfectly, delicious, served with french fries (I got cole slaw instead, it was good), a small side salad that had a great mixture of vegetables with ranch dressing, and a delicious dessert, all for $20 + tax.

I'm a Texan with a penchant for Tex-Mex (and Mex, New Mex and even Lou-Mex), and I enjoyed this…read morelittle joint. Was it the best ever? Hardly. But, in all fairness, I've eaten at no fewer than 200 different Tex-Mex restaurants in my lifetime. First, as one reviewer stated, this is very much a New Mexican-style restaurant, although they try to get there with the Tex-Mex. What does this mean? Quite simply, this place uses red sauce (vs. chili gravy) for enchiladas. It also offers stacked enchiladas with an egg placed on top, which is true New Mexican. Beyond that, the menu is quite varied. I'll start with my cheese enchiladas with red sauce. The sauce was spicy as hell, which was wonderful. The enchiladas themselves were a disappointment because they used two corn tortillas to roll them with the smallest pinch of cheese I've experienced in a while. -- I'm not sure about my dad's chile relleno and beef enchilada with green sauce, but he really enjoyed both. The rice and beans were pretty much par for the course. Not bad but nothing special. The salsa here is phenomenal. There's just enough onion and cilantro to make it memorable. It's served cold, which is a must for me, and it has some serious bite. Service here is really friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is old school: cheap paneling and trite "Mexican" decor. The men's bathroom is almost as dark as a movie theater. I don't get to this area often, but I would certainly eat here again any time I do.

The portion was smaller than I expected, but the flavor didn't disappoint. The pork was tender, and the green chile sauce had a deep, rich taste that reflected hours of slow cooking. It carried more heat than my palate prefers, but spice lovers would likely appreciate it. The accompanying rice and beans were less impressive. The Spanish rice had a fairly standard flavor but was noticeably dry. The refried beans were also dry and seemed as though they had been sitting for quite some time before being served, which took away from an otherwise flavorful entrée. The restaurant itself was clean, colorful, and had a lively atmosphere that made it an inviting place to dine. Prices were about what I would expect for the meal we ordered--fair, though not a standout value. Overall, it was a pleasant stop with friendly service and a well-prepared Chile Verde, even if a few of the side dishes fell short.

As I was getting hungry, I saw a sign for Carl's Jr. on the highway and proceeded to turn my right blinker on. Ambiance (3/5): It's a fast food restaurant. You're not going there for the ambiance and I didn't dine in. I ordered through the drive through. Pretty much what you would expect. Service (4/5): I placed my order, paid, and the cashier asked me to pull up a little past the drive through and he would bring my food to me. It came out in the timeframe I would expect. The only hiccup? No napkins or ketchup in the bag. Drinks (3/5): Your usual assortment of soft drinks. I went with a sweet tea. Food (3/5): We all have our power rankings when it comes to fast food. For me, I'm a little ambivalent about Carl's Jr. It's about in the middle for me. I do like their commercials though. This time around, I went with the chargrilled chicken sandwich (swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and mayo) combo with waffle fries. The waffle fries are an upcharge and are only available in a medium size, not large. I'll take waffle fries over regular fries any day of the week, even for a small upcharge. The chicken wasn't bad. It was charred nicely. The bacon was a little limp, but overall, it did the job. I enjoyed the waffle fries the best. They were fresh. They had not been sitting under a heat lamp for a long time which is always a risk at a fast food joint. For what it is, Carl's Jr. makes for a decent late night selection when you're on the road.

When you're on long road trips, and time is of the essence, your dining options are limited…read more Especially late night. This was one of those situations. I stopped by Sonic on a Saturday night. It was a bizarre experience on multiple levels. I saw a sign about Sonic off of the highway. What's annoying is that the fast food joint is actually a few miles down rather than being right off of the highway. Not off to a good start. Ambiance (4/5): Sonic has the old school drive in diner vibe which is cool. A blast from the past. I used the drive through to place my order. Service (1/5): This is where things got weird. I placed my order and the amount I was quoted seemed a bit high. When I paid, I wasn't given a receipt. They also didn't give me my change. I have never seen that happen at a fast food restaurant. I should have said something, but I was tired and decided to let it fly. I'm not saying this is happening, but it's a possibility. For customers paying cash, maybe they overcharge a few dollars. Plus keep the change. And put something else in the computer so that the employees can cheat everyone out of a couple bucks. That multiplies after some time. Maybe it was an honest mistake. Just a bit shady. Drinks (N/A): I had a drink in my car, so I passed, but typically, getting a drink is a must at Sonic. Some of the best drinks in fast food. They're known for their slushes and cherry limeades. Next time around. Food (4/5): I ordered the mozzarella sticks (medium), fries with groovy sauce, and a corn dog. A dinner of champions. Not many fast food joints have mozzarella sticks so that was nice. For fast food, the mozzarella sticks were quite good. Nice pull factor on the cheese. And marinara sauce for dipping. I didn't know what groovy sauce was but I rolled with it. It's essentially a thousand island sauce. It may be an upcharge (I don't know 100% because I didn't receive my receipt). If that's the case, a little weird because sauces are pretty much always free at fast food restaurants. Last but not least, the corn dog was solid too. Not something you typically see on a fast food menu either. It made me feel like I was at the rodeo. All of the food seemed pretty fresh (and not sitting under a heat lamp for a while as you'll get with some fast food). While the food was pretty solid given the circumstances, the service left a lot to be desired.
