Moot House

Moot House is a nice little restaurant that I always noticed and always wanted to go into yet never did until a little while ago. I was driving around with Mom looking for somewhere to eat and we decided to try it out. It was very nice, the waiters took care of us and we sat out by a large fire pit in the back. It was a very nice place to eat and wasn't busy so we were of top priority. Actually would be a good date spot. It was a romantic setting yet that wasn't in my experience as I was with my mom... Prices were good for what you get and a very enjoyable environment.

Island Grill

Island Grill has a sort of Hawaiian feel to it. Their food is very good and has a cool area. It is a mix between a bar and a restaurant. Island Grill is by Sunflower Market on Lemay and Drake. It has great burgers and American food. Decent prices as usual, not a place I would personally go to very often. It wasn’t too bad though. The relaxing atmosphere was kinda cool, not a formal place. It is not a place to go to for a date though, maybe just with a friend or sibling. My experience was alright overall.

Chik-Fil-A

I just went in to Chik-Fil-A two days ago. I hadn’t been there in a while because every time I go by and actually want to eat there it is Sunday… They gave me a free sample as well as a free coupon for another sandwich. They have great chicken at good prices as well as free stuff all the time. That’s the main reason I like it, I came in and got these free chicken nuggets wrapped in sweet bread that was quite excellent. Obviously it is already famous and everyone knows about it yet I find myself rarely ever going in, that will probably change as I have a free chicken sandwich coupon.

Castillon's

Castillon's is nice little Mexican restaurant. It is on College by best buy. They have excellent Mexican food at reasonable prices. The service wasn't too bad but it wasn't great either. It was simple and good. Castillon's is a nice place for a basic dinner with family or something. Not recommended for a date or anything romantic. It is nice and basic. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here however as it is not the best place you could go. The only way I would go here again was if I was right there and wanted Mexican food that was a little better than Taco bell.

Walrus Ice Cream

Walrus is in old town and is an ice cream shop. They make all their ice cream right there in the store unlike most. They have the best ice cream ever with lots of different original options. They are reasonably priced, and a great environment. It is also very kid friendly. All the ice cream is made there by the employees so it is delicious and fresh. The management is well done so you can walk in and get your ice cream fast, however they do tend to build up a line out the door. They are a great place overall though.

Wahoo's Fish Tacos

Wahoo’s is a fish taco place that opened up a little while ago down on Harmony, between Timberline and Ziegler. Wahoo’s was always my mom’s favorite place to eat when we lived in California. We would go there a lot. I never really liked it all that much but I have grown into it and like it a lot now. It is a new place and has a very nice set up. They have great tacos, both steak and fish. I am not much into fish tacos, which is what they are known for, so I go for steak. The pricing is decent for what you get. All the meals generally come with rice and beans. They are a great new place and have awesome management with a relaxed environment.

TCBY Frozen Yogurt

TCBY is also on college next to Joe's and Garbanzo. It is a frozen yogurt place (that's like ice cream if you didn't know), I believe they are actually the best in the nation or something like that. Anyway they are a little pricey for Ice cream but very, very good. It is self-serve so you simply walk in, grab a cup, and decide from the 20 or so different flavors. They have many seasonal ones like gingerbread, as well as the basic vanilla and decadent caramel flavors. You can also choose to add toppings from their 30 some options. They charge by the ounce so you decide how much you get. Highly recommended for a great dessert.
