Revisit: Stanley’s Deli

Stanley’s Deli
8555 N Ditch Rd.
indianapolis, IN
www.stanleysdeli.com

I was rough on Stanley’s during my first review. I had high expectations and really wanted this to be the New York Style Deli of my choice.  I think that most of this is due to Shapiro’s diminishing quality.  Plus, they have an eating challenge called the Fat Stanley’s [...]

Review: Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Five Guys Burgers and Fries
 
When I saw Grub Grade’s Review a few weeks ago, that yummy cheesy burger made me think…  it has been a while since I have stopped at 5 Guys.
 
What I Ate: Cheeseburger $4.89, Fries $2.59 and a drink.
 
At 5 Guys, you can customize your burger anyway you want it….for [...]

Review: Taco Bell New Bacon Cheesy Potato Burrito

Taco Bell Bacon Cheesy Potato Burrito
Price: $2.79
Taco Bell was basically off my radar until I read the about how they opened their test kitchen for WIBIA friends, Epic Portions and Grub Grade. Since then, Taco Bell sounds pretty good…your plan worked Taco Bell….damn you!!

The Bacon Cheesy Potato Burrito was packed full of said ingredients along [...]

Review: Pizza Hut Meaty P’Zone

What I Ate:  Meaty P’Zone $5.99
Grub Grade already gave this a positive review, but I’ll admit that despite their review, I was fully prepared to write a review that destroyed this P’Zone for two reasons:
1.  I am not a big fan of calzones, which is what this P’Zone is. 
2.  Pizza places try specialty items like [...]

Review: El Rodeo

El Rodeo

4000 West 106th St

Carmel, IN 46032
http://elrodeorestaurants.com/
Indy has a ton of cheap Mexican joints and everyone has their opinion on which is better.  El Rodeo, Cancun, La Hacienda, El Meson to name a few.  Usually you find one dish that you like and that one moves to the top of the list.

What I [...]

Review: A&W Papa Burger

What I Got:  Papa Burger 90¢
After hearing that A&W was offering burgers for 90¢ on Father’s Day, I felt that I had to give it a shot.  I’m not a father, but I do enjoy cheap food and since it was my first ever trip to A&W for food, I went in with no expectations.
This [...]

Review: Eddie Merlot’s

Eddie Merlot’s
Indianapolis, IN
http://www.eddiemerlots.com
U.S.D.A Prime Beef from Chicago Stockyards.  Enough said.  I have been to Eddie’s well over 10 times, but steakhouses have their ups and downs.  At first, I wasn’t impressed, but lately…Wow!!!   Fleming’s was my go-to steakhouse in Indy, but I think they have slipped.  Ruth’s Chris and Sullivan’s have always been 2nd [...]

Review: Paradise Bakery – Southwestern Breakfast Wrap

Paradise Bakery & Cafe
www.paradisebakery.com

Southwest Breakfast Wrap
$5-$6  didn’t write it down, but somewhere around there.
Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Black Beans, Corn, Jicama, Cheddar Cheese wrapped in a Chipotle Tortilla and Picante Sauce.

When I see breakfast items that have a southwest flavor, I usually order it.  I love the combination of salsa and eggs.  Especially [...]
