Westside Diner

February 2, 2023 By Ben Cotton

My fiancée and I recently went out for a late lunch on the west side. It seemed only fitting that we'd go to the Westside diner. She'd been there a few times before and was eager to get my take. The location felt familiar — it's the former site of the Route 66 diner, although it doesn't have the same car … Continue Reading

Escape Velocity Brewing

July 7, 2021 By Ben Cotton

I was on the way to go grocery shopping recently when I realized that I hadn't had lunch yet. Shopping on an empty stomach is bad, I'm told, so it seemed like a great opportunity to get lunch. I'd been watching … Continue Reading

El Maguey

July 24, 2019 By Ben Cotton

Many restaurants in the area are closed (at least for lunch) on Mondays. When my friend and I decided to get lunch on Monday, El Maguey was the third place we tried. But I was happy we did. The decor is your … Continue Reading

Dusk Till Dawn Fried Chicken & Seafood

June 19, 2019 By Ben Cotton

The first thing to be aware of at Dusk Till Dawn is that the name does not accurately reflect the hours. My first visit, I showed up at 11:30 AM for lunch only to discover that it opens at noon. And it turns out … Continue Reading

The Downtowner Restaurant

June 5, 2019 By Ben Cotton

Market Square is hardly downtown. But that's where The Downtowner Restaurant has you fooled. When it opened in 1951, it resided on the 500 block of Main Street. It moved to Market Square in 1996, so in 2041 you can … Continue Reading

May 22, 2019 By Ben Cotton

In the mood for Chinese? Japanese? Burgers? If you answered "all three", you're in luck. Mukutan Ninja Charcoal Grill & Izakaya blends these into one culinary experience. I stopped by for lunch with a friend … Continue Reading
