Flying Rhino Café and Watering Hole

Most people I know love the Flying Rhino. I’ve been twice, and the first time I was not particular impressed, everything was good enough but not particularly memorable. They must have been having an off night though, because the second time, I loved what I ordered and everyone who I was with liked what they had as well. I tried to chicken cheese steak sandwich and it was delicious, I’ll definitely be getting it again.

Brew City Grill and Brew House

Brew City looked a little too sports-oriented for my taste, but I’ve been for lunch and food is really good. I tried the phantom gourmet approved chicken mac’n cheese, and it was delicious. True to their name, they also have a great beer selection, on tap and bottled.

Sole Proprietor

Everything at the Sole Proprietor is delicious; unfortunately it is also pretty expensive. If you want to go somewhere nice for dinner, I would definitely recommend it, though if you’re trying to go for parent’s weekend, make a reservation in advance. The Sole Proprietor also has the late night menu Thursday – Sunday, with a $6 menu, which I recently tried for the first time - and it was great! I went with two friends, and we split the "sole bowl" (a huge, blue drink with rum, pineapple and other yummy things), and three large sushi rolls. Including tip and tax, we each only spent $12.

$6 Tuesdays at Showcase North

I love going to the movies, but it has gotten so expensive that I rarely go anymore. Luckily for movie fans like myself, Showcase North has $6 Tuesdays. It’s a pretty big theater so they have a good selection, and if Tuesday’s don’t work for you, the matinee prices are pretty reasonable as well.

WOOBerry Frozen Yogurt

I absolutely love frozen yogurt, so I was so excited when WOOBerry opened over the summer. I was not disappointed, they have original, which is my personal favorite, as well as an ever-changing selection of other yogurt flavors, and a ton of toppings. Every day, they also have a couple of free toppings, but unfortunately if you go later in the day they have usually run out. The line is usually really long, but they handle it really well. It’s not exactly cheap, but the prices are pretty average for frozen yogurt.

Peppercorn’s Grille and Tavern

 I’ve always been satisfied with everything I’ve had at Peppercorn’s, but ever since I tried their Lobster Mac and Cheese, I get it ever time I’m there. They only have it on the dinner menu, and its very rich so I always split it with someone else, but it is seriously one of the best things I have ever eaten. Peppercorn’s is a little more expensive than I usually like to spend on a meal, but not so out of my price range, still, I usually reserve it for a visit from the parents. They are also connected to Wormtown Brewery, which in my opinion has a great beer selection, and if you buy a growler you can keep bringing it back for discounted refills.

Hacienda Don Juan

I’ve only ever ordered in from Hacienda Don Juan, so I don't know what the actual restaurant is like inside. Most of the food was really good, though some of my friends have been dissatisfied. I don’t eat red meat but I hear the steak tacos are great, but I have had the loaded nachos that they are delicious. You may want to have extra chips on hand if you order them, because there is so much stuff on them that they are pretty hard to eat.
