Bombas Grill Review, East Dundee, IL

Bombas Grill Review Damn, I love it when a place far exceeds my expectations.  I was on the prowl for a new burger in the NW burbs of Chicago and stumbled upon this micro-sized diner Bombas Grill Review offering burgers, sandwiches, and some Greek specialties. I was intrigued by the “Zeus” burger, which promised a… Continue reading Bombas Grill Review, East Dundee, IL

Penny Lane Review, Barrington, IL

A pub/grill, not the song. Tho the song is one of my favorites. Let’s pause, shall we?   The Penny Lane Pub is a modestly sized bar and grill with daily specials, live music on weekends, and open til 3 AM.  They have a good bar menu with pizza, sandwiches, wings, tacos, and of course… Continue reading Penny Lane Review, Barrington, IL

Grovers Grill and Bar Review, Fox River Grove, IL

Grover’s Grill and Bar, at 412 Northwest Highway in Fox River Grove, IL, sits across the highway from the FRG Metra station. It’s been Grover’s for maybe 3 years. I think it was a Mexican restaurant before that, I had never been in there. They did some remodeling before opening, took out a couple walls,… Continue reading Grovers Grill and Bar Review, Fox River Grove, IL

Dutch Farms Frozen Cheeseburger Review

I’ve tried a lot of these ‘heat and eat’ burgers, some full cooked, some raw that you have to cook. It’s a long list of these sandwiches that I have slogged through, 7-Eleven, Trader Joes, Fatburger, SteaknShake, Ball Park, Biz Az, of course White Castle, and so many others. Today’s entry is from Dutch Farms,… Continue reading Dutch Farms Frozen Cheeseburger Review

Olympic Restaurant Review, Lake Geneva, WI

(As Americans have become meaner, ruder, and armed) I no longer enjoy busy tourists areas, except in the off season, but I found myself in Lake Geneva, WI this week, as typical a tourist spot as any. Feeling a might peckish, I was scoping out restaurants by how much I liked their exterior vintage neons, and… Continue reading Olympic Restaurant Review, Lake Geneva, WI

Plymouth Rock Campground Restaurant Review, Plymouth, WI

This isn’t the sort of place I’d usually stop or write about. First because I’m the last person you’d ever expect to find in a campground, and secondly because in advance of eating there, pretty sure I’d expect to be disappointed. Boy, was I wrong in thinking that here! Plymouth Rock Campground is a sizable… Continue reading Plymouth Rock Campground Restaurant Review, Plymouth, WI

Chick N Dip Review, Hampshire, IL

What can be better than finding a mom and pop place out in the middle of nowhere?  Not much, in my opinion, and apparently lots of people agree, because when I stopped at this seasonal drive-in, it was jammed. They specialize in “broasted chicken,” burgers, and frozen dairy treats. “Broasting” is a combination of deep-frying… Continue reading Chick N Dip Review, Hampshire, IL

Trader Joes Angus Burger Review

I keep searching for a frozen burger patty that meets with my personal tastes. They come in a few different forms, raw patties on their own, pre-cooked patties, or a complete pre-cooked hamburger sandwich. I’ve previously tried Ball Park, Steak & Shake, Fatburger, White Castle, Advance Pierre, Trader Joe’s “Kobe Style,” some various store brands.… Continue reading Trader Joes Angus Burger Review

Burger Aptos Review, Aptos, CA

A mere 8.5 miles SE of the Santa Cruz Mystery Spot, there’s a joint that’s serving up a fully-disclosed menu which provides for no mystery at all, ‘cepting how food can be so damned delicious! Bay Area burger reporter GL and her burger posse stopped in at Burger to sample the wares on a recent… Continue reading Burger Aptos Review, Aptos, CA
