Talk about a find. I’m addited to this food network show “diners drive-ins and dives” and this past weekend while in Fort Worth, I decided to lookup a good dinner for breakfast. I went to the DDD’s site and found Fred’s […]

Clay pit
Thursday, 13 October 2011
well, for once no bitching, complaining or ranting, I like this place! The decor is great and comfortable, ask for the “cave” for a more romantic setup.
The Indian menu is extensive and interesting, staples are there as well as interesting dishes that I’d never […]

Blue Star cafeteria
Friday, 19 February 2010

I’ll sound harsh once again but I have to. This cafeteria style restaurant serves great breakfasts in a funky, retro atmosphere. That was for our first visit on a Saturday morning.
Our second visit took place in the evening during the week. We ordered pretty standard plates such […]

Well, people set my expectations really high so I was kind of disappointed. The place is very friendly, the staff was excellent that night and seeing really beef patties and potatoes made me feel good about eating what seemed like real food. The extra giant scoop
