Mary Lou's Grill

• Delicious home cooking, large portions & cheap! Friendly & welcoming.
• Nothing.

“Mary Lou's is an experience. Stepping in there is like going back in time. The food is incredibly good down home cooking, with large portions at great prices. It is not for those looking for upscale decor as its really more like going to eat in Grandma's kitchen. Along with some tables it has a counter to sit at and eat while you watch them fix your food. This is a family run business and when you go there, they get to know you and treat you like family. The letters, pictures, and articles on the walls say it all. They have been around forever and I think they must've kept many a college student from starvation and homesickness. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. At lunch time they have all the grill food plus plate lunch specials, which are an outrageous amount of great food for the price. But what can't be missed is breakfast and the biscuits and gravy. Order breakfast, and these actually come with it as an appetizer. So you can eat these heavenly little things while waiting for your eggs to cook. Come before they run out, because when the biscuits and gravy are gone for a day, they're gone! The best food, best service, and best prices for what you get. Pure comfort.”

Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon

• When we finally got our food it was pretty good.
• Bad service.

“The waitress served our rolls but we didn't have any silverware no straws for our drinks so we sat there till she made it back. I told her we needed silverware she said it wasn't her fault the hostess is suppose to bring them and that's ok but 3 other tables that were seated after us had their main courses and we were just getting our salad and 1 table had 5 people. Really bad service I tipped her but not as much as I usually do and I should of gave her less. When service is bad I don't go back.”

Jimmy Johns Gourment Sub Shop

• Good bread.
• Everything.

“Horrible service. I used to order from them a lot and every time they would get my order wrong and it was a simple order. Also when I would call to tell them they messed it up they would act as if it was my fault. I do not suggest ordering from here.”

Tres Hombres

Food:[4] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Decent atmosphere.
• Food just average.

“Ok place, but not very good Mexican food, not much better than Taco Bell. Rather go elsewhere for authentic Mexican food. Most people I talked to there were there more for the cold beers other than the food. Again, food very industrial rather than fresh made.”
