We are out of towners who heard good things about Whiskey Road. So we met up there with some friends. Atmosphere was fun. Margarita was good even though I asked for Strawberry and got lime. There were so many yummy options to chose from wasn’t sure what to have. Boyfriend and I both got prime rib. It was really good. We were surprised that bread was not included with them meal. You decided on what sides you wanted. I picked the side salad, which was perfect and sweet potato fries. They were ok, kind of mushy. If we are in town again we might stop by and try a burger.

Good solid diner style food. We had breakfast - it was hot and well prepared. Tables are tightly fitted to make the most of a small space. I would go back. Parking lot is gravel, not easy for someone who is using any type of assistance for walking.

I did the salmon salad for a quick, light, takeout meal. The salmon was done well and seasoned perfectly. It literally melted in my mouth. What a great choice!
The service was quick and friendly. Only thing missing was my silverware when I got back to the hotel...

6. Ginger Thai
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Darren D - Texas
Upon recommendations from two friends, for lunch today I went to Ginger Thai (takeout). I was greeted by a very friendly young lady (daughter of the owner). She assured me that if I like spicy food, the "Drunken Noodle" is something I would enjoy ("Especially because my mom created and cooks the dish, and she's a great cook.").
I enjoyed the flavor combination and the spiciness. It was not too hot, yet it had just enough heat. The take-away portion was an appropriate amount.

Our party of 10 enjoyed cheese pizza, spinach pizza, vegetable pizza, and meat-lovers' pizza. I especially liked the meat-lover's, especially the sausage on it. Each pizza was very good.

Reviewed By Makemeabeliever
Had a small group dinner last evening at Sakura. We didn't have reservations so were seated in one of the hibachi rooms that had very poor ventilation. Smoke from the last performance hung in the air and was rather unpleasant. Once the air cleared we ordered. I had the squid salad, which was quite good. The hot river roll which was passable, though not a fan of chives in my spicy tuna (not disclosed). My green tea was luke warm which generally describes my feeling about the experience there.
