I was coming home one day after some shopping and noticed this place and decided to try it because I didn't really feel like cooking for lunch. I go in and get seated and right as I sit down a waiter comes and takes my order. Now I don't think you can get much faster than that people. She brings my tea and I just sit there sipping my tea for a little bit relaxing. By the way they have good tea. She brings out my cheesesteak and let me tell you they have a big cheesesteak. I could only eat half of it. I finish up while eyeballing a dessert they have and eventually regret not getting it. The price is pretty good to be honest. All in all it's a pretty good place to grab a bite to eat.
Overall 4.4/5

While I was out getting some errands done I saw this little bakery and seeing as how my sweet tooth was acting up I decided to give it a try. I went in and saw a beautiful array of cookies, cheesecakes, candies, cupcakes, and breads. I had to control myself for fear I would run out of cash. I decided I would get four brownies and four scones.  I know what a real brownie should taste like and let me tell you they have some of the best brownies I have ever had. I could feel my sweet tooth singing. Man I wish I had gotten more brownies, anyway I decided to wait till the morning to try the scones with my coffee. It was well worth the wait. I haven't had a breakfast that good in a while. The scone was the perfect compliment to my morning coffee. If you're ever in the area I highly suggest you try this place out.

521 BBQ & Grill

Well today as I was driving around I saw this little place called 521 bbq and grill and decided to give it a try.  I go in and it’s a  pretty busy place which is always a good sign. It looks like a little mom and pop place with a decent amount of regulars.  I take a seat and a waitress comes over after a little bit and gets my order. I was already starving when I got here and they had the food out in less than 10 minutes. Now I gotta say, I’ve had my share of bbq in my day and this place is pretty high up on my list. The tea is good, the portions are big, the bbq is smoked to a perfect tenderness, the sauce is good, there’s not many places I’ve been to that have better bbq than this. The price isn’t that bad either. I mean a large bqq sandwich and fries for under 7 bucks? That’s hard to beat people. And it’s not one of those places where a large is really a regular, a large is a large here. So if you’re ever out on 521 and want some good bbq I recommend 521 BBQ and Grill. You won’t be disappointed.
Overall - 4.5 /5
