Oh my gosh – if you’re a hot dog fan like we are; there are so many different combinations to choose from, as well as burgers, gyros, chicken sandwiches and a HUGE selection of yummy-sounding sides. They also have almost as many side dishes, as well as quite the assortment of different flavors of ketchup […]

Having been to an O’Charley’s once while in another state a few years ago, we were quite excited to find out that one was opening in our neighborhood. Little did we know that the typical wait-time for the first 3 months, regardless of what day of the week we tried, was going to be 60-90 […]

This place may be the best kept secret in the area, because we’ve driven by there many, many times since they’ve been open and NEVER knew it was a restaurant in addition to being a driving range and golf school, therefore I am hoping to spread the word…..Stonebrook is AWESOME! Their menu was a big […]

Having heard that Yard House was “coming soon” and then being told that we “absolutely HAD to try it”, we did! Very cool place, but if you’re looking for an intimate, quiet place to carry on conversation; this is NOT the place! Also, if you’re a first-timer, you should allow at least 15 minutes to […]

Formerly Raintree Restaurant (since 1972); Grove Hill opened last year in its place and I cannot say enough GOOD things about it. Though having been to Raintree many times back in the 90s; I honestly can’t remember anything noteworthy. Grove Hill, on the other hand, will stand out for a long time to come. Their […]

What a find this was, but I guess I should have expected nothing less from this pair of owners given their history. The only thing that surprised us was that they’ve been in Hudson for 2 years now and we’d never heard of them nor noticed in passing. But…..after this first visit, you can bet […]

What a cool little place this was and very surprising that it wasn’t brand new since we had never been there before. We’ve been over in this area many times and never noticed it, but the fact that it’s set back in a little non-descript strip center might be the reason for that. In any […]

This place was absolutely phenomenal and quite an “accidental surprise”! Knowing that we were going to be running some errands in an area that we weren’t too familiar with, Mr. Z had pre-selected two different choices prior to us heading out. Once we had finished our errands, he put the first address in the GPS […]

Although you couldn’t really call this a “do over”, since technically, we didn’t even get to eat the first time we were there, after hearing that they had changed the name (formerly MELROSE GRILL – see comments) and had done some serious ‘re-vamping’, we decided to give it another try, fully prepared to be disappointed […]

25+ years ago, this cute little place was called Pufferbelly’s and was actually quite good. Though I’m not sure exactly when it either closed or changed it’s name; it’s been a couple of places since but has recently reopened (11/20/12) as Union Depot Taverne. I checked out their menu online (nice website) and it looked […]
