Have always been a fan of Carrabba's but had a really unfortunate experience here at lunchtime this past week. I will let the photo speak for itself...yup, that's a raw sausage. Not undercooked, or rare, or cold...completely freakin raw. Fortunately we caught it before we are it, so no one got sick. Yuck. :( 2 stars because the server was nice and nobody got E. coli or wound up in the hospital.

BEST SANDWICH EVER. I compare every sandwich I eat to this sandwich. (the only peer is Roli Roti) This place is open 24hours, its cheap, fast, hot, and delicious! I recommend the Full Montagu. I wish there was one in California so I could nomnomnom on this all the time. Sadly, the closest one is in Vegas so I'll have to wait till to go there to pursue my quest of trying everything on their menu!

This place I think is the best place to get the best ribs in town; the meat is flavorful and falls right off the bone! They also have an awesome Pulled Pork Sandwich as well. The service and the atmosphere are both fun and energetic. The only downside for early birds and Sunday dates is that the restaurant is typically only open for dinner and when it is open it is generally always pretty busy so make sure you make a reservation! Bonus points for the awesome cheese fries appetizer!

I'm actually pretty familiar with Genghis Grill during the old days of my Dallas misadventures. I used to frequent the place quite often, and was sorry to lose it as one of my restaurant choices when I moved to the West coast. Well, now it's back. Or here, I guess is the better way to put it. I've noticed reviews are all over the place for the restaurant, but my experience was good. We got there before the dinner crowd, so we were seated quickly and ready to be served. We did the "Build A Bowl" option, and for a $10.99 single bowl dinner price, that was more than fair, though the option to go "unlimited" is an extra $3. Basically, there are a number of meats, vegetables, sauces and starches (noodles, rice, tortilla) to chose from. You can choose how much you want of everything, and pick whatever ingredient options you want. Because of the options, you can choose a lot of related things, or go for some pretty outlandish mixtures. But it's on you if things actually go well together or not, so if you make something you don't like or didn't get enough.... Well, you made it, so there you go. I created a veritable feast of meats, with enough garlic to kill off the cast of "True Blood". You hang out, while they cook everything up on this huge circular grill, and after a few minutes, the meal is yours. The options seemed to have changed/expanded since my initial Lone Star State visits, but really, all I cared about was my self-made meal. And that's probably all I'll ever really care about during another return. Service was pleasant and appreciative. They also seem very conscientious about being respectful to food allergies. While I have none, I'm sure someone will appreciate the extra "Is this okay" check-in. Drinks were refilled quickly, the manager came over to chat and ask about our food experience. And we got out just before they got slammed with customers. And they do carry out, as long as it's not the "All You Can Eat" option. All in all, I was pretty satisfied to revisit a familiar experience. I will echo someone else's statement that I hope they open another location on the west side of town, because it's a bit of a drive, but nothing out of control. Glad for a new food option. I'll be checking it out again.
