Cellar 19 Wine & Deli – Council Bluffs Iowa

August 5, 2016

On the second day of our trip we were driving from Lincoln, Nebraska to Davenport, Iowa and we stopped at this place in Council Bluffs, Iowa for lunch. At lunch this is an order at the counter place and I guess a sit-down place at night, but since we were there for lunch we went up to the counter.

 

 I ordered the cellar club which had oven roasted turkey, tavern ham, hickory smoked bacon, mild cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion and mayo on white bread with potato salad as a side,

 

Mom ordered the BLT on toasted wheat bread with potato salad

 

 

and dad ordered Mike’s melt which had tavern ham, Swiss, jalapenos and mustard on toasted marble rye bread with chips. After waiting for a bit our sandwiches were delivered. My sandwich was all right and it had everything you would expect in a club sandwich. This was a good sandwich but not much more than that. I really did enjoy the potato salad and thought it was one of the better potato salads I’ve had. It was a red potato salad with some bacon in it.  I thought it tasted really good. Everyone else thought their sandwiches were pretty good to.  This day we had a pretty good lunch although I most definitely had better sandwiches and I also thought it was a bit pricey for just sandwiches.

Ana’s Mexican Grill - Westminster, CO

July 16, 2016

 

First chips and salsa were delivered and our drink orders taken.  I thought the chips and salsa was very good.  

 

I had the #17 combo plate which included a crispy chile relleno, beef and bean burrito, and a cheese enchilada Dad also had the same #17 combo.  Mom had #16 combo with a crispy chile relleno, tamale, and a cheese enchilada. 

 

 

These combos came with rice and beans on another plate.  Both were I thought just alright.

 

I thought this was pretty good Mexican food, and would be happy to return.

Brixx Wood Fired Pizza – Denver Colorado

June 13, 2016

Once again we stopped for an early dinner after an appointment and this night it was at Brixx Wood Fired Pizza.

I ordered the Americo pizza which was a basic pizza with sliced pepperoni, mozzarella with mushrooms and fresh tomato sauce ($ 8.95),

 

dad had the 4 x 4 pizza which had four cheeses: mozzarella, parmesan, gouda and goat cheese, & four meats: sausage, pepperoni, prosciutto and bacon ($11.95).  Dad really enjoyed this especially the bacon and the goat cheese which surprise me.  He thought it was one of the best pizzas he’s had.

Mom had the special pizza of the day which had spinach artichoke dip along with tomatoes and chicken.  I liked this place it definitely wasn’t the best pizza, but I would sure be happy to return and dad really would like to return.
