Cilantro Tacos
ConnectGreat tacos at reasonable prices! I got the 3 taco deal and they let me choose 3 different tacos. The corn shells were very sturdy yet soft, meats were juicy and flavorful. This is a great place to go for a quick bite. Service was friendly and food came out fast.
Pros: great food and service
Cons: very small space
Top Hog
ConnectThis place is awesome! Brisket cooked to perfection, fresh food fast, with the added bonus of courteous staff make this place a hidden gem. An excellent place for a casual dinner with the family. Large and delicious family meal packages for a great price are your best bet for a big group. Lunch here is a treat as well because the sandwich selection is outstanding.
Embers Wood Grill
ConnectThis place has great food and a great wine collection to pair with any meal. My steak was cooked to perfection, and the service was spot on! A little pricy but totally worth it

Embers Wood Grill
ConnectLovely atmosphere and service go hand in hand with a large wine selection and knowledgable staff. The seafood and steak options are all good but my favorite is the surf n' turf. A delicate filet paired with red king crab. Just really good.
