So after the lunch at Zum Treffpunkit, Jeanne, Wllie and I went to the Old Heidelberg Bakery and Euro Market.
Jeanne bought a big apple strudel…and a chocolate bar…and I bought a chocolate bar…a pretzel…a pretzel croissant, bow tie and small apple strudel pasty…this calls for a return trip. It also has a great little grocery section.
Go early in the morning before all the close by residents. They buy all the cherry goodies.
I took Jeanne and Willie Stecher to this restaurant to celebrate Willie’s 80th Birthday. Jeanne is my sister and Willie is my brother-in-law.
Willie ordered the 2 Rouladen (mit Speck,
Gewurzgurke und deutschem Senf ) – two tender rolled braised beef slices filled
with smoky bacon, sharp German mustard, and tangy pickles…with two sides –
Rotkohl ( red cabbage) and Gurkensalat (pickled cucumber salat)
Jeanne ordered the Schweineschnitzrl Weiner Art –
Vienna Style Pork Schnitzel – tender pork cutlet, with panko, egg, flour, and
spices…fried to golden perfection.- with two sides – Rotkohl (red cabbage) and
sauerkraut.
I ordered the Schweineschnitzel Jager Art –
breaded pork cutlet smothered in a rich and creamy mushroom sauce with two
sides – Gurkensalat (pickled cucumber salat) and sauerkraut.
Dessert – Apple Strudel and a piece of Dark
Forest Cake…forks around.
I still think Zur Kate in Mesa has better tasting
schnitzel.
I tried this restaurant by myself.
I
ordered the Pistachio French Toast with 2 eggs over medium and four pieces of
crisp bacon. Everything was very
tasty. I really liked the sliced banana
on one side of the plate…and the sliced strawberries on the other. That great with the French toast. It came with this pistachio type of paste on
the French toast. I wasn’t too thrilled
with that. I guess I was expecting
something different…but it was still good.
I guess I was expecting the pistachios to be in the French Toast Coating and not a paste. However, I did enjoy my breakfast there. The staff was great. I will return to try other items on the menu.
I visited with my grandson, Jonah. We have wanted to try this burger place for a long time.
We ordered the Double Burger – K4 Ranch Premium Arizona Beef, Double Patty, American Cheese, Not-so-secret Sauce, Griddled Onions, Pickles on a Martin’s Potato Bun.
We split an order of Criss Cut Fries. The burgers were delicious but I could only eat half of mine. Jonah ate the other half.
The fries were great…hot.. crisp. It was well worth the visit.
I met my friend Sylvia here for lunch. I ordered the Chimi with Machaca Beef served
with sour cream, fresh guacamole, cheese and I chose beans. It was very good but I do have one
complaint. I like my chimi fried crisp…and
this one wasn’t…I guess the next time I order one…I will have to tell them to
put the sour cream and guacamole on the side.
Sylvia and had drive a long time. We were getting close to home. We were hungry so we stopped for a bite to eat and early dinner.
I ordered the Taverne Cheeseburger – I chose the
Swiss as my cheese…came with tomato, lettuce, onion on a toasted bun…and I chose tater tots
for my side…perfect meal.
My friend Sylvia and I found this cafe for our early Sunday morning breakfast as we were about to leave Cortez and head home.
I ordered two eggs, 4 pieces of bacon – crispy, hashbrowns, rye toast. It was a very good breakfast. The service was superb. It was a nice small local café. Just what one needs on early Sunday morning as I is about to leave town.
My friend , Sylvia, and I visited on our way back from a trip to the Aztec Ruins in Aztec, New Mexico. We wanted to try this restaurant from our first day in Durango. We did today.
I
ordered the ¼ pound of The Elgin, Texas Sausage – potato salad – Diet
Coke. It was just the right size…and
tasted wonderful. Sylvia ordered the Pork
Ribs with a side. They looked very good
and she said that they were.
The place was packed from the time we pulled up to the restaurant until we left.
With all the site seeing Sylvia and I did this morning, we were hungry. We picked the perfect restaurant.
Sylvia ordered
some type of burrito and then asked them if they would make chimi out of
it. Sure. So very nice.
Delicious food!
The restaurant was
painted beautifully.
Sylvia and were cold, tired and hungry after the train ride up the mountain. We only had about 2 hours to have something to eat. Then we would board the train for our ride down the mountain. I loved the train ride even if it was cold...cold...cold. The scenery was gorgeous.
Sylvia ordered the Bowl of Chili…and I ordered the Soup and Sandwich
Combo – Grilled Cheese Sandwich and a cup of chili. Both of us were disappointed that the chili
wasn’t piping hot. It was tepid at best. We were hungry after the train
ride up here. We were happy just to have something to eat.
I visited with Sylvia on our week long vacation.
I
ordered a margarita…and then I ordered Camarones al Mojo de Aho. It was good…shrimp and mushrooms served in a
garlic sauce with rice, beans and flour tortillas. It was a very typical Mexican meal. I really loved my dinner.
I am on mu 77th birthday vacation with my friend, Sylvia. We left Mesa at 6:00 a.m. and decided that we would stop in Payson for breakfast. We decided to try the Delicious Cafe.
I ordered the Almond Butter Banana Cakes with two eggs over medium and crispy bacon. It was very good and was very filling. The stack of three pancakes had bananas between layers…whipped cream on top with cinnamon.
Sylvia ordered some type of omelet.
My sister and her husband celebrated my upcoming 77th birthday with dinner at the LongHorn.
We started with drinks...accompanied with an oil and herb mixture for bread dipping .
Appetizer – White
Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms
Dinner - I ordered Flo’s 6 oz. Filet with a loaded
Baked Potato and a Chopped Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing.
Jeanne and Willie shared a 22
oz. Fire-Grilled T-Bone Steak. Willie had the Loaded Baked Potato and Jeanne
ordered the Strawberry and Pecan Salad.
Dessert – Jeanne
and Willie brought in a darling small – 3-tier Carrot Cake…and the wait staff
brought me a Ice Cream Sundae which I shared with Jeanne and Willie.
Comments – I felt
right at home in this restaurant. It was
a Montana style steakhouse
This is a new burger joint in Mesa. My friend Peg and I decided to give it a try.
We both ordered the Classic Burger - single patty with American cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, lettuce and house sauce…and fries and a drink. I wish that I had taken a picture because the buns were beautiful. (And presentation is such a big part of the meal.) The meat was good tasting. My fries were hot and crisp. We ate inside so our meals were brought to us.
The
service by the entire staff was excellent.
After my doctor appointment I was hungry for breakfast. I remembered putting this restaurant on my "Try List." So I drove west on Southern Avenue. Found it without any problems.
I ordered for breakfast one Sausage and Gravy…one Smoked Sausage and Cheese…and then to take home…one Cherry Cheesecake….and a cup of The Buzzed Goat Coffee…delicious.
These are dough stuffed buns. The softest and best tasting dough I have eaten in a very long time. A hint of sweetness but not too much…so they must put a pinch or so of sugar in the dough. They are all homemade right at the café. Served very warm.
Kolaches are traditional Czech…
I have the whole list of items sold…and I aim to try everyone of them. Two other ladies were in the café. We visited a while. They told me how they tried to find the new café…and didn’t until last night after closing. How they drove through the Take Out Line. The lady said, “we just had to check it out.”
(I started laughing. Yup, I get it.)
The pinochle group that I sub for…asked me if I wanted to go out to eat with them on New Years Eve. Yes! I was with Irma, Ethel, Donna, Conne and Jim.
Water was served in big mason jars.
I started with a Blackberry Moon Shine drink. I didn’t taste any alcohol in it…but it wasn’t bad. I ordered the Riblets (which everyone else did but Ethel who ordered the Shrimp basket.) my sides were coleslaw- which was house made and very tasty – and the Fried Corn Cob. I had never seen that on a menu before now. I really liked it but it wasn’t hot…not even warm….it could have been a show stopper but wasn’t. I also paid an extra $1 for a piece of the green chile corn bread. I did not care for it because it didn’t have the consistency of corn bread…and I never tasted a chile even though I could see pieces of it in the bread. It also was never served hot or even warm.
They gave me 3 or 4 huge pieces of BBQ meat…it was cooked well and tender…I ordered my sauce on the side and they brought two skillets to our table with sauce…and I did like dipping my meat into sauce because I really don’t like BBQ sauce slathered on my meat.
Our waiter was very nice, accommodating and efficient! They wouldn’t let Ethel substitute anything for her fries…and her fries looked loaded with grease…and probably warm…not hot and crispy.
I enjoyed my meal because of the people there with me…but I wouldn’t ever chose to just go there for a great meal simply because this restaurant needs to put out the meals hotter…not faster.
After we went to Ethel’s house and played pinochle with five people. The dealer sat out and the other four played together. I liked it. It was fun. Just before it was midnight in New York at Tines Square, Ethel dug out the asti and we each had a glass as we toasted to the new year…none of us could have stayed up until midnight.
Sylvia and I ate here on our 2-day trek to Yuma. I ordered the Fiesta Platter - carne asada plate with refried beans and rice…and it came with onions, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and three small flour tortillas. It was very good.
Sylvia and I ate here on our way to Yuma on our 2-day Yuma trek.
I ordered the two egg breakfast – two eggs over medium, hash browns and rye toast. I couldn’t believe the prices…this was $14.99…and the wasn’t too bad…but 3 pieces of bacon $8.99…I thought was over the top.
It wasn’t that good but we were hungry. Plus it was the only restaurant that was open that we could find. We didn’t want fast food.
I visited with Sylvia after a wonderful visit to the Cave Creek Museum. And the bonus- we watched the mill stamp operating. All the volunteers were wonderful and full of information.
I ordered the Big Earl’s Cheeseburger and (as the Museum volunteer Darlene for the day told me - I ordered the adult milk shake) Creamcycle Milk Shake which came in this plastic red cup with the Big Earl’s Logo on it and the saying “Boozy Milkshakes? Yes, Please!” Everything was delicious. I plan to return with friends.
After our meal, we went into Big Earl’s candy shop where Sylvia bought two big pieces of fudge which was homemade on Mackinaw Island, Michigan.
