Favorite Dish: My son absolutely hates donuts, which I can NOT understand. But my daughter who is very thin and tiny does like them, so when it was her birthday I took her here as part of the celebration.

Restaurant Name: Gloria's

This is a tex-mex restaurant with a bar area and seating for large groups. It is a chain, although not one of the usual ones.

On the last day that my parents were here, my dad wanted to take us out to dinner. My husband was working late, so he met us here because we weren't sure when he could get free, and this was closer to his work than some other places that we''d gone.

Favorite Dish: Since our three children were with us, the child's menu was important. In includes (in addition to the usual chicken fingers and french fries

Child's enchilada of choice (one of the children had this)
Grilled Chicken Breast
Grilled Flank Steak
Bean and cheese Nachos
Bean and Cheese Quesadillas

My husband likes the fish tacos.

This is a picture of the old Randy White's BBQ. We've eaten here but it wasn't very good so we have not been back. Since I took this picture, they have moved to the address below.

Restaurant Name: Texas Land and Cattle

This is a chain steak house (most outlets in Texas) so we normally have steak, and the children have chicken fingers and fries.

Favorite Dish: A favorite appetizer is Spicy Spinach & Artichoke Dip with a hint of jalapeno and topped with Jack cheese. Served with tortilla chips 6.49

My husband likes the soup (roasted tomato broth with smoked chicken, tortilla strips and Jack cheese). A cup of this a la carte would be $3.99.

Restaurant Name: Hacienda

This is a good restaurant for us because they have lots of games for children to play with while they are waiting for a table or for food. The restaurant is decorated with stags heads, antlers, wagon wheels and a large stuffed bear. The tables are covered with black and white fake cowhide, and you get chips to start with while you are waiting for your meal.

Favorite Dish: We like the Mexican steaks served with a cheese enchilada, rice, refried beans & tortillas from $19.99 to .$23.99, and they also have Texas style with House or Caesar salad, baked or skillet potatoes & Texas toast.

Favorite Dish: We particularly like the BBQ Chicken pizza. There is a special menu for the kids and they usually have the children's cheese pizza and a kid's meal sundae for 99 cents for dessert. We also like the five cheese pizza (pictured) which has fresh sliced Roma tomatoes, basil, fresh Montery Jack, smoked Gouda, Mozzarella and shaved Peconino Romano cheese.

Unlike other pizza places, they do have desserts - pictured are a sundae and cheesecake

Restaurant Name: Buca di Beppo

My father-in-law took us here to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. My father-in-law likes this place because the decor is somewhat raunchy. There are pictures of men in speedos who basically overflow the fabric, and one of a kangaroo's balls. Some of the ones that are just pin-ups are in photo 4.

The ladies room (which my father-in-law has not seen of course and I can only imagine what is in the men's room) has framed ladies undergarments (photo 5) decorating the walls.

Favorite Dish: One of our favorites is

Apple Gorgonzola Salad
Tart Granny Smith apples, spiced walnuts, dried cranberries and Gorgonzola cheese are tossed with fresh Romaine lettuce and our Italian vinaigrette.

Small $10.99
Large $17.99

We ordered Lasagna

Nine towering layers of lasagna noodles stuffed with our homemade meat sauce and a savory combination of ricotta, mozzarella, provolone and Romano cheeses.

Mio $12.49
Small $14.99
Large $27.99

and

Spaghetti Meat Balls
Imported Italian spaghetti with our famous half-pound mouth-watering meatballs smothered in our homemade marinara sauce.

Mio $10.49
Small $16.99
Large $22.99

The meat balls are huge.

We had enough to eat so that we packed some of it up to take home.
