Me after having Rosie's: finally, a restaurant that uses as much garlic as I like

---

Is that possible?

Tried Rosie's for the first time last week. I still think of the old Asian place on Holleman by the same name, but anyway. Food was good. The Rosie was not to my liking but I understand it has a following. The kids alfredo was actually better IMO, so I'll probably get an adult alfredo next time. The pizza rolls were good, no complaints there. Although very similar to the ones at Blue Baker and I think more expensive. The Italian sandwich (forget what it's called exactly) wasn't my favorite. Kind of tasted like a Caesar salad on focaccia bread. Would probably have them hold the sauce if I ever got it again. And the Caesar salad itself was probably my favorite thing so I think I'll try some of the other salads next time.

I miss the Pho place!

Doesn't G's pizza place have a new place nearby? Anyone try?

Tried it shortly after it opened. Hoping they were still working out the kinks, because I wasn't impressed by the food or service.

Started with a butter spread flight because how can you mess up butter bread? The answer is by serving the butter straight out of the fridge (or maybe freezer) so that you're done with the meal by the time it's soft enough to spread. The savory butters were better than the sweet one. I got the Italian panini. Daughter 1 got a chicken pesto panini. Daughter 2 got one of the flatbreads. Wife got a pizza that came out 5+ minutes after the rest of our food. It was all fine, but not good enough to get us back through the doors even though it's basically walking distance from the girls' apartment.

They are running a Slayer espresso machine, but I didn't try anything. If they know how to use it, I assume anything they make with it will be good.

It's a different pizza oven than Bryan. You can't get the "half baked" at the new place. The fully cooked isn't significantly different however. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to notice.

I haven't heard much feedback about G's Southside Italian Cafe. I'm slightly curious, but the lack of reviews and the horrible font they use for their menu makes me not excited to give them a try.

We've been there several times and have liked the food. Thought the chicken parm was very good. Also been there a couple of times with a group and all seemed to enjoy there food. It's on our rotation.

Anyone had the pizza at Rough Draught?

If so, thoughts?

It's good. One of BCS's underrated pizzas.

It's excellent. So is the hummus

Thanks

Went there for their whiskey selection for the first time just now. Did not disappoint.

The pizza at Rough Draught is very good.

I ordered takeout from Frice this evening. One of my favorite Asian food spots. I usually dine in, but half my household is sick. The online order system was easy and the estimated time for my order to be ready was spot on.

The gentleman that runs the FOH is always so friendly and kind. I've only been there about a dozen times but he always remembers me. I believe he is one of the hardest working servers in BCS. And always with a smile on his face. The place is small but always crazy busy.

The portions are huge. The hot and sour soup bowl is at least 8 servings. Perfect for a sick spouse for the next day or two. Get your flu shot.

Got mine. Helped a little, but not a lot. "The Shot"; I am sure the soup would have been much more helpful...

Do they have dine and in?

Yes. They have a small dining area with about 10 tables.

The Filipino place on Wellborn has a stand at the Bryan farm market Saturdays. Got some great pancit this weekend and they've added empanadas to the menu which are very good. Great snacking grub while walking around the market.

Damn, Zand's got SPANKED by the health department. Not good!

pour one out for the great ones...if only we could have lasted another year or two

I was also disappointed in the butter flight. We have been to Mr. Gs south side 3 times since they opened. The butter flight was so cold it was crumbling when we tried to spread it and the fact that 2 were savory and 2 were sweet was strange. I can see maybe one sweet but 2 was too many. I think it's a great concept but it needs to be room temperature butter for sure. Otherwise we've enjoyed everything there. I was also thrown off that the bruschetta had no tomatoes (it says it has olives on the menu so I was expecting olives in addition to tomatoes since I've never had a bruschetta without tomatoes) but it was tasty. The goat cheese bacon toast is the best appetizer we've had there and I would get it again. Overall we like it but I won't get the butter flight again.

I've been getting suprisingly good takeout from the Shun de Mom at Northgate. I loved the CS original place but was never impresses eating at the NG one. I've found the food consistently good and they do "authentic" Chinese pretty well.

Saw Costa in person today...should've asked about Rosie's and how they do pasta since I've always found restaurant pasta to be disappointing and overpriced. (Well, I remember there was a noodle place in the Commons in the early 2010s that I enjoyed...and I loved Noodles & Company when I visited one in Ann Arbor in 2010).

Oh well, guess I'll have to go there sometime...and I know I'm still right about Mojo Tortilla's next location, even if he can't say anything.

Tomato Bar? I loved that place. There was one in the Ag Cafe, as well.

I had the pasta in the commons every Sunday for lunch when I lived on campus. Mainly because chick-fil-a was closed. Many times I would do Harvey Washbangers for dinner.

Oodles of Noodles actually...by that time the Tomato Bar was closed permanently.

The pasta place in the commons was good. I lived in Appelt for two years. Good times (mostly).
