"Pie Equals 3!"

Well I finally made it over to Fireside Pies! When I walked in I immediately liked the atmosphere. It was a really cool spot. I saw younger people out having drinks, I saw a family having a pizza night out and then there was a more mature couple having both (pizza & a drink!) So needless to say this is a place for everyone.

It was Thursday night so it was quite busy! --- Somehow Thursday seems to be the new Friday! --- So let's get down to the real stuff, THE FOOD! I wasn't sure what to order because I didn't see what I normally like (white pizza). However, the two young ladies next to me had a pie that looked quite appetizing. So I asked...."Which one is that!?" I was told it was recommended by the Server and it was Paula's Fresh Mozz and they added chicken. So it was decided.... I ordered Paula's Fresh Mozz!

My pie arrived and the presentation was so FABULOUS my mouth watered (fresh tomatoes, basil, roasted basil chicken & yummy mozzarella)! I couldn't wait to get that first bite! I took my first bite and it was quite tasty and pleasant but not that "Oh my God" I was looking for! Will I eat my leftovers..."Yes!"... will I order it again..."No!"

If I had to sum it up using a 1-5 scale..... pie (3) atmosphere (5) service (5+) free shot(5+) & the pricing (1) ----Let's talk about the pricing for a sec. I thought it was a li'l overpriced to begin with and one of my pet peeves (BEING NICKLED AND DIMED....drives me NUTS!) for fresh parmesan ($1) for ranchhouse sauce ($1) to add chicken ($2) So needless to say my $13 pizza went up to $16. I sacrificed on the parmesan (bummer!)

I still would recommend Fireside Pies. If you haven't been, please go for the experience and the great atmosphere. There are some dining spots that I frequent for drinks and atmosphere ONLY so it's doable!

Just Because It's BIG Doesn't Mean It's Good!

Well I made it over to Freebirds to check out the hype. A Girlfriend gave me a coupon for a free burrito so I decided I would make it over there to give it a try. I walked in and all my choices were right in front of me. Chicken, Beef, Pork, Dark Meat, White Meat, Garlic, Guacamole, on and on. I had no problem with the choices. I loaded up.... chicken, guacamole, cheese, sour cream, beans, salsa and I am thinking yuuuummmy!

I walk to the table with my mouth totally watering. I am ready to tear the foil off and get my EAT ON! I take my first bite and...... drum roll.... let down! Sorry guys, I didn't like it. It was oooK but not the talk of the town! I think people see how BIG it is and that automatically means..."oh they have the BEST burritos"... when what they really should say is..."they have the BIGGEST burritos!"

So for those of you who wanna go ahead and give it a TRY and not take my word for it please hit me back with your comments. I simply loooove good food, especially Tex-Mex. So if you know of a great place that I should give a try please let me know. I would love to go check it out!

Don't get me wrong , I like BIG, but it has be good too. Otherwise it's a WASTE!!!
