Boos Boards - Cutting Boards

One of the best cutting boards made!  You will notice them on most cooking shows.  They last forever and perform better then most.  You can find them on their website and at most high end kitchen supply stores.

Tortilla Flats - Roanoke, TX

88/100

Bueno!

Authentic is the word that comes to mind.  Made fresh!  You just have to go experience this place and you will be speechless (wordless) like me!

Mi Familia - Roanoke, TX

75/100

Not to bueno!  Come on! Mexican food is so easy to make yummy.  Just use fresh ingredients and have great recipes.

The staff is less than good here.  The food tastes like a TV dinner.  Not the kind you use the oven for either.  More like the microwave kind.  OK, I may be exaggerating just a little.  It isn't that bad.  Just a bummer since the location is good and in good company with other great places nearby.

The loud music is crazy.  And, it isn't Mexican music.  It is like rap or something.  The staff all stares at you from the corner.  The whole thing seems to be run people that have never worked for a real restaurant nor had any real training.  The basics in running a restaurant are all forgotten here.  Oh well.  NEXT !

Five Guys Burger and Fries - Yum...

85/100

Burger places are all pretty much the same, right?  Well, this one is a little different.  It's the fries.  I am a fan of the more crispier style.  These are home style, freshly cut and fried as ordered.  The difference comes in the seasoning.  You can order them with a little kick. And, boy they are great.  Other than that...ground beef fried up between a bun with the veggies you want.  If you like burgers...try this place for sure.
