Milwaukee Brat house, Milwaukee WI

September 11, 2011

We arrived around the normal lunch time and the place was empty it was a Sunday, so maybe that was why.  I found this place just by looking online for a place close to the riverwalk which we were planning walking along.

 I had a bacon cheeseburger with cheddar and substituted cheese curds for the side for two dollars.

My mom had the Wisconsin burger with cheese curds on top and just got the kettle chips. My dad decided to get a bacon cheeseburger and substitute onion rings for 1 dollar. I thought this burger was really good. There was like a crust on the burger and like kind of charred.   This was my first chance at trying cheese curds which I haven't really had any before except at culvers.  I thought that cheese is good and fried cheese could only be better.  Boy was I right they were fried greasy and delicious.  Cheese can't get much better than that. This is my first attempt at cheese curds and I couldn’t wait for more. My dad’s onion rings were not very good when you bit the ring the onion came out leaving you with just breading.

 I really liked this place it was greasy and good.   At $44.28 with tip it was a little pricey for lunch.

9/9/2011

We were in Dyersville to see the Field of Dreams movie site and had read about this restaurant online and thought it sounded good. First they brought a plate of bread with real butter, which is always a plus.   The bread was actually pretty good.   

I ordered the hot roast beef sandwich and so did my mom.  my dad got the chicken fried steak. My hot roast beef sandwich for looked pretty good, but when I started eating I figured out it wasn't so good.  It was kind of dry and I didn’t think the meat was very good.   The mashed potatoes and gravy with it were okay and I think the best part was the gravy on the bread underneath.   

My dad didn’t really care for his chicken fried steak either, but he ate it since he was pretty hungry.  

My parents both decided to get a piece of pie, one piece of peach and one cherry.  I sample both of them which were okay, but not great.  This was kind of disappointing since their menu says their regulars order pie first, which made me think the pie would be better.  

Overall this place is not very good, their food and was kind of disappointing after reading about it online.  I thought it sounded pretty good but oh well maybe next time I'll find a better place.

Jerico's Restaurant Omaha, NE

We had been to Jerico's before a few years ago and were really impressed.  We were going through Omaha and again and we decide to stop by. We arrived early to get the early bird special between 4:00 and 5:30. All three of us got the prime rib which was a 7 oz. It came with a salad and a cup of the soup of the day, which was beer cheese with bacon bits and Green onions on top which was very good and I don’t even like beer. It also came with bread that was also very good. You didn't get a choice of potato it was just a baked potato. The early bird special also included ice tea or coffee all for $13.99

The baked potato and salad were not anything special. The prime rib however was amazing and by far the best prime rib I've had, it was melt your mouth and delicious.   When you dipped it in the Au jus it was even better.

Also with it being the early bird special for 13.99 it made it even better.   Normally it is 21.99 for a bigger piece of meat, but with the soup or salad instead of both and your ice tea or coffee would not be included. This place didn't look all that exciting from the outside, But once inside it was great.

My dad and I stopped by Santiago's for lunch. It was about 12:30 when we got there and they said it would be about 5 min. wait which was fine with us. After not too long we were taken to a table and we ordered chips and salsa (which you have to pay for, it was not included).  I was not bothered by this because places with free chips and salsa add the cost in somewhere, by charging more for your entrée or drinks, and it was only $1.50 anyways. The chips and salsa were fairly basic chips and salsa I liked the salsa, It was more of a thick liquid than a chunky salsa.

I had a Deluxe beef and bean burrito with half-and-half green chili on top and it also had cheese lettuce tomato on top.  The half and half green chili was kind hot but it tasted really good and I really enjoyed it, it was green chili just like I would think of green chili.  The burrito itself was a plain burrito nothing fancy, just a tortilla with beef and beans inside, but it was good.

 

My dad had the three beef enchiladas with the enchilada sauce he thought they were very good and really enjoyed them.  

This was second time my dad and I have been to this location, the previous time my dad had the cheese enchiladas and I had the chicken burrtio, which were both very good as well.  The pictures are actually of these items, but are very similar.

I really enjoyed my meal and the price was very good, we had two lunches chips and salsa and two Pepsis all for around $18 including a tip.

My mom and I were planning on going out for lunch and we thought Mexican food would be good and I am always up for trying to new Mexican place.  We were seated quickly and chips and salsa were brought quickly as well, they were okay nothing exciting.   After we were seated it seemed to take the waiter forever to take our orders.  When he finally came back I ordered the lunch combo with a beef taco and a beef enchilada. My mom ordered the chili relleno after we ordered, the food came almost too quick.  My mom liked her relleno, but wasn't too excited about it.  She especially liked that it was crispy.

My enchilada was not very good at all in the taco was sitting in the enchilada sauce making my crispy taco very soggy and it basically tasted like the enchilada. I did not like the beans and Rice either

Choice City Butcher

I met a friend at Choice city butcher.  He said that he heard that this place was good, and I saw a ton of very good reviews online.

 The door was a little difficult to get in and difficult to move around inside with my wheelchair.  I was able to get in which was good, since I really enjoyed my sandwich. When you get inside you order at one counter and pay at another

  We weren’t sure what to get so we checked out the menu.  There were many different sandwich choices for most of the sandwiches you can get a half version with a side or drink, or the whole with a side and drink.  I wasn’t really too hungry so I got the half Colorado Rueben sandwich which had buffalo instead of corned beef.  If I didn’t know ahead of time I don’t think I would have known it was buffalo.  It was very good, one of the best I have had.  The 1000 island tasted like they actually made it, to go with good swiss cheese and sauerkraut and the very good buffalo made an excellent sandwich.  It was a little greasy, but it is a Reuben.  My friend had the whole Italian sandwich with coleslaw, he enjoyed it and had plenty left to take home. 

After ordering it, it seemed like it took forever to get our food and it was a little weird how the food didn’t come out in order it was ordered.  A lady in front of us got her food well after we did.  The price was also a little high.

 The sandwich was excellent, but the service was slow and weird, and it was a little pricy
