My friend and I were on our way to the infamous Studio B Buffet at the M Resort when we realized that we only had an hour to eat. I had a plane to catch at 3pm today and I was debating if I should miss my flight so I can enjoy my meal at Studio B. Alas, we knew it was impossible. In the end, we came upon a strip mall and decided to eat fast food. It was a choice between Dickey's and Buffalo Wild Wings. Instantaneously, we chose Dickey's, only because we just had Buffalo Wild Wings recently. Walking into Dicky's, we realized that we probably picked the right choice because it was super packed! This was another casual restaurant. The first thing I did was get in line. While in line, I checked out the big blown out menu. There were a lot to choose from. I ended up with the Big BBQ Sandwich combo with 2 sides ($7). Now, my order didn't end there. I now gotta order the type of meat. There were a lot of meats to choose from and I ended up with the beef brisket. As for the sides, I added waffle fries and fried onions. I also added a side of fried okra to my order. The total bill came out to be $9.19 ($1.50 for the third side, plus tax). The condiments were at the self serve station. At the station, you can get unlimited dill pickles and BBQ sauces. There were 3 kinds of sauces: 1. Dicky's special sauce 2. Sweet BBQ sauce 3. Spicy BBQ sauce Overall, the sauces pretty much taste the same. The only difference was the flavor of the sauce being more bold, spicy, or sweet. The brisket itself was ok. It was lacking flavor and it wasn't tender. The sides definitely made up for this. Overall my experience here was ok. I came to the conclusion that the reason why this place was packed was because the patrons were just like me: we couldn't make it in time for the buffet at M Resort! Tip: The Big BBQ Sandwich itself costs $5, BUT on Mondays, it is only $1 !!!!

The wine dinner was truly one of the most enjoyable evenings I've ever had. I have recommended the wine dinner to everyone I can think of and them some. It's truly a wonderful way to celebrate any special occasion. This review is just for the wine tasting dinner (the 10-12 course one not the 4 course earlier seating). We did not have a chance to try out the bar since we knew we would have plenty to drink. A note about the general ambiance upstairs. The ceilings are exceptionally tall (it's a converted fire house) so it is definitely noisy upstairs. Be advised that it is loud but in an upbeat exciting way. Justin and Justen were great. They kept us very well informed on everything we were eating and drinking that evening and answered any questions we had. They were fantastic. The ambiance in the basement is lovely. At no point did you feel like you were in a dark dank basement. The air was clear and not damp at all and the room was wonderfully lot with candles. It was a fantastic temperature and very comfortable. Dinner was out of this world. I truly can't say enough about the exciting and innovative dishes we were served. Not to mention that Chef Jamilka knows when to let the beauty of something simple shine through (our first of the season heirloom tomatoes were divine). She was so warm and welcoming and came down several times to explain the food and answer any questions. The menu changes seasonally so what we had that night would be completely different the next. I can't wait to return for another evening come this fall! Worth every penny and for the generous pours, I'd even go so far as to call this evening a bit of a bargain for all the courses and wine!

Excellent, flavorful coffee. The chai tea, cappucino, and espresso are great, too, and I love the foam art. It's a great environment with friendly staff, and I have a lot of respect for a hands-on owner that serves drinks alongside his employees - props for that. The only thing I would change about espresso a mano is the size. It's too popular to be so small! I love this place and I will always come back for more.
