Ruby Tuesday Parmesan Chicken Pasta

The Ruby Tuesday Parmesan Chicken Pasta  is basically penne pasta with marinara sauce over the pasta and then a layer of alfredo sauce, breaded chicken, and mozzarella cheese on top and then bake  in the oven until the cheese melts.

My dish was heavy on the mozzarella, light on the marinara, and the Alfredo sauce was undetectable. There was little sauce for the penne, so, unless there was melted cheese on it, the penne was just plain pasta.

I give this dish a 2 out of 5. It is unlikely I will ever order it again unless I was really hungry for mozzarella cheese melted over penne noodles.

Ruby Tuesday of Pompano Beach 299 sw 26th

We recently visited this restaurant for a second time in two years. 

The restaurant seems to cater mostly to the elderly. The salad bar was well stocked, but food items had spilt and weren't cleaned up. And the salad bar was out of sesame seeds.

The restaurant had run out of glasses so our drinks were served in styrophom cups.

We arrived at 7:30 on a Sunday. We had to wait a long time for our seats and a very long time for our food.

Our waiter was very attentive. However we ordered a hamburger with only ketchup and mustard and instead it arrived with only lettuce, tomato, and pickle. The waiter quickly fixed the problem with ample supply of both ketchup and mustard.

The restrooms were reasonable. There was graffiti that hadnt been cleaned and the restroom was over due for service.

On a sale of 5, I would give this restaurant a 3: I would eat at it again (mostly because I like the Ruby Tuesday chain) but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

Bill Gray's World's Greatest Cheeseburger

I am not saying this is the World's greatest cheeseburger. Bill Gray's is saying it. In fact, they named the cheeseburger: The World's Greatest Cheeseburger. I would beg to differ... At a later time.

The cheese burger is served on a hardroll with your choice of toppings, which include their signature hot sauce (shown served on the side).

The cheeseburger is very good. Hard roll was fresh. Their American Cheese is thick and creamy.

I know many people live their cheeseburger and go to Bill Gray's specifically for it. But not me. I give it a 3 out of 5, which means I'll order it if I can't find something else I would rather have on the menu.

Mighty Taco: The Taco

Several decades ago, boutique Mexican restaurants received new competition from the fast food movement. Giants like Taco Bell spread across the country providing mass produced Mexican style fast food.

In that blaze of fast food came a local hero in Buffalo New York: Mighty Taco! Their commercials chanting "Mighty Taco" was a call to a new generation who understood they had something unique and special.

Their taco was different from the popular Taco Bell. TW meat filling was spicier. And instead of sprinkling shredded cheese on top of the taco, they placed a slice of cheese between the shell and the meat. That simple change in placement of the cheese causes the taco to have a creamy cheese taste.

The taco picture is shown with a crunchy shell and no lettuce, tomato or sour cream, options that cost a bit more but are well worth it.

Mighty Taco is the best fast food Taco I have ever had. I rate it a 5 out of 5, which means I would go out of my way to order a taco at Might Taco.

Bill Gray's Egg Sandwich

There is more to eat at Bill Gray's than just burgers! How about an egg sandwich any time of the day?

I love an egg sandwich served on a hard roll. This double egg sandwich comes with cheese and your choice of meat (shown with bacon). This could be the best deal on the menu: only $3.50 (compared to a $4.50 cheeseburger or a $5.50 bacon cheeseburger).

These sandwiches are irresistible. I give it a 5 out of 5, which means I will almost always order one and would be willing to drive out of my way to get one.

Burger King Spicy Chicken Sandwhich

Every time I go to Burger King, I look for my favorite Burger King sandwich: The Chicken Parm. It is a special sandwich offered only for limited times. The Chicken Parm is a variation of their classic chicken sandwich. Burger King has several different variations including a Spicy Chicken sandwich.

Unlike most people, I don't like a lot of heat and prefer a mild spice to everything. I found the heat in this Sandwich to be barely noticeable. That means if I though it was too mild, it will be unnoticeable to everyone else.

Except for that problem, the sandwich was good (in the classic chicken way). The sandwich never looks like the advertisement - the bun is flat, mayo is carelessly applied, and the lettuce falls away. But these flaws are the beauty that is a Burger King chicken sandwich.

Bill Gray's Restaurant Review

There are sixteen Bill Gray's restaurants between the Buffalo and Rochester area. These are classic burger joints serving classic hamburgers on hard rolls. Some Bill Gray's include an Abbots Frozen Custard addition, and several others include a separate tap room.

Bill Gray's was disqualified in the 2013 and 2014 Burger Joint competition for two reasons: (1) I was once charged $8.50 for a double bacon cheese burger, (2) the prices are outrageous (unless you have a coupon, and (3) the burgers are good... But not uniquely good.

There are many other things on the menu including fish and chicken dinners, salads, soups, hot dogs, and more.

I would go to Bill Grey's more often if the prices weren't so high. $4.50 for a cheeseburger. Years ago Bill Greys got deep I to the "buy one get one" coupons. To make money, they had to jack up the price of the cheese burger. That meant: if you had a coupon you were buying a competitively priced sandwich. Without the coupon? Rip off! Since then, other fast food restaurants have risen their prices. Today, a McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese can cost as much as a Bill Grey's cheeseburger. Nevertheless, the image has been burned in my mind: Bill Grey's is expensive, even if that might no longer be the case.

The food is always good, the variety of the menu is nice,  and the hot sauce unique and meaty.

I give Bill Gray's a 4 out of 4. If I was in the neighborhood, I would stop by.
