8. Brooklyn Brothers Pizza

Reviewed By JRS85
We are native New Yorkers and this is our go-to Pizza shop. Not the least expensive but good ingredients cost more and it well worth it. Other dishes are excellent and they bake all their own bread. It tastes homemade and there is no comparison to chain Pizza places with their mass produced pies using cheap ingredients. Their pies are hand tossed and taste great!
7. Carrabba's Italian Grill

Reviewed By AllisonCW
It has been a long time since I have been to a Carrabbaâs. My work colleague and I grabbed his lunch there. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was nice, and the complimentary hot bread with oil and herb dipping sauce was yummy.We had some excellent lunch specials which were about $10 and they included your choice of a soup and a salad and a small entree plate, which was plenty of food. My only slight criticism is that there was little to choose from if you are a vegetarian. Just about everything on the lunch menu had meat...so I write this to encourage this chain to incorporate more nonmeat options. Overall, the food was good and the value was excellent for what you got.

This place is in a strip mall and we were pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was. Delicious bread and salad. Enough of the entrée left over to take home a doggie bag!
4. Old Chicago

My wife grew up eating at Old Chicago restaurants, starting in the Denver area, over 30-years ago. Her go-to comfort meal from Old Chicago has been their chicken fingers with buffalo sauce and french fries. Apparently through menu evolution, the chicken tender meal is no longer available and the sauce is not the original recipe. I was introduced to Old Chicago 11-years ago when my wife and I got together, and my only real attraction to them was the availability of Guinness Beer on tap. We all have our priorities! We gave an extra star for the great service that we received from Rachel, our server. Thanks again Rachel!!

Wonderful thin crust designer pizzas. I have tried almost all of them. Good pasta and salads too. Enjoy going and have one of their many microbrew drafts. I would definitely recommend Brixx's as a fun place for friends and the whole family. Can't wait to go back again and see John and Brian at the bar!
