I went to Grimaldi's for take out since it was packed normally for a Sunday night. I had my two kids w/ me so they were being real impatient so I decided to check out this Frozen Custard place next door. When we got inside I noticed the cute old style decor. Very cool. I thought that the girls at the counter were pretty cute but not really friendly or smiling or anything. They were ok. Maybe they were having a bad day or maybe they saw the long line appearing as soon as I went in. I joked to the girl at the register how busy it was next door & she just looked at me & didn't say anything. Hey at least they were quick to serve. My kids can be indecisive so luckily for a scoop in a cone or cup there's only 3 flavors. Chocolate, vanilla or the flavor of the day which was mint oreo. We got all three. All very delicious! Loved it!! They had so many other flavor in pints. I might have to come back & try them out. I can't wait to come back & bring some custard home.

This place is pretty good for the price. You can get a very large and tasty meal for under $8, which is rare these days. The staff is friendly, and it's kept pretty clean. I've seen reviews from other people complaining that the menu is limited and the food didn't dazzle them...both true...It's your average teriyaki joint. But average food joints have their place, and at $8/meal, the food and environment here is at the upper end of average. Which, in my mind, is the definition of good value. I'll definitely be coming back here.

To say I don't get the appeal of Chino Bandido would be an understatement. I don't really need to say anything about this place...just look at the picture above! That's what the food looks like! Need I really say more? Well, I'm going to: OK, so they serve both Mexican and Chinese food. SO WHAT? It's not even like they serve a hybrid of Mexican and Chinese food. You know, if they served Kung Pao enchiladas, that might be interesting, but this is just Chinese food and Mexican food next to eachother in the same aluminum takeout bowl (yes, even if you'e not taking out). Oh, and by the way, did I mention it's SHITTY Chinese and Mexican food. That being said, if you love Panda Express, you might like the Chinese food at Chino Bandido. If you like super-over-fried, heartburn-enducing flavorless cardboard, you might like their Mexican food. And If you like using plastic silverware to try and cut through said cardboard as it sits in said aluminum take-out bowl while countless shirtless 10-year-olds drool over every dirty inch of your favorite restaurant, then this might just be your favorite restaurant. On the plus side, they give you a free cookie.

'There is no way we are going to finish all of this' This is what we told ourselves we stared at the sizable amount of food placed in front of us. What possessed us to order two double cheeseburgers, fries AND onion rings? We wanted them. That is why. I can see how easy it is to over-order at Rocket Burger. Everything looks good. Cheese fries with real cheese? Yes! Rocket (onion) Rings that magically and mysteriously aren't greasy? Yes! Tender, juicy burgers with lots o' cheese? Yes, Yes, Yes! Rocket Burger isn't fancy. It isn't a 'dress to impress' destination. In fact, it appears that maybe once upon a time it was a convenience store. Coolers line one wall containing a fascinating assortment of beverages, including one whole section dedicated to root beer, and one drink the owner admits tastes like 'tree'. Really, tree. If you can't find it here, it probably doesn't exist! The charm in Rocket Burger is that it isn't trying to be something it is not. In fact, you can see the whole open kitchen area behind the counter/cash register. It is simply good food, prepared and served by friendly owners and staff. Oh and yes, we ate it all. :)
