Ker’s Wing House

Published on March 31, 2009 in Bar and Grill and Wings. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Ker’s Wing House is a bar and grill style restaurant with a scantily clad staff. It may sound familiar to another chain, but the main difference is that the food here is good. They have a solid beer selection, which makes a perfect partner for their wings. Their wings come in a variety of flavors, Blackened being my favorite. Their Blackened wings are a nice mix of Cajun spices. You can also get the wings breaded, buffalo style, or naked.

Wing House offers a variety of sides as well, including fries, chili fries, onion rings, jalapeño poppers, and many more. One side they are famous for is their fried pickles, which are a nice is of sweet and tangy. The service at Ker’s is second only to the food. The only complaint that I have about the service, and Wing House in general, is that the staff comes by towards the end of your meal trying to sell you various merchandise including shot glasses, playing cards, calendars, and more. Putting up with this is a small price to pay for a great meal that will not leave you hungry.

Hot Dog Heaven

Published on February 11, 2009 in Hot Dogs. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Hot Dog Heaven is not your ordinary hot dog stand. It specializes in Chicago style hot dogs, and offers a variety of options, from hot dogs with the works, to slaw dogs, kraut dogs, chili/cheese dogs, and a host of other toppings. The ingredients are fresh and tasty.  You can make your order a basket, which comes with french fries, and your choice of another side. Two dogs and an order of fries is a nice lunch for two. They also have kosher garlic dill pickles, which make for a refreshing side.

You can buy your drinks with a reusable plastic mug (in a variety of colors), and bring it back for $0.35 refills. It’s a nice additional savings for an already inexpensive lunch.

I always seem to go to Hot Dog Heaven on Saturday afternoons, and it’s always busy. Expect at least a 15 minute wait in tight quarters at peak times. It is worth it if you have the time though. If you don’t, make it a point to treat yourself off peak hours.

Jax 5th Ave Deli & Ale House

Published on February 8, 2009 in Bar and Grill. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Jax 5th Ave Deli & Ale House  is a run of the mill deli shop. I have eaten here a few times for lunch, having different sandwiches each time; the Cuban, French Dip, and 5th Ave, a sandwich made of turkey, ham, roast beef, and a variety of breads. Each of these are a good choice, but the 5th Ave is the only one that definitely won’t leave you hungry afterward. The sandwiches come with more potato chips than you will want to eat, considering they are often stale. For the price you pay here, it would be nice to have a choice of some more appetizing, and filling sides.

The two things that Jax has going for it are, it’s vast beer selection, and the fact that they put a jar of dill pickles on your table. The pickles are kosher dill, and nice and crispy. The beer selection is excellent, and will have something for everyone.

Overall, I would only recommend this place for the beer. Sit at the bar and have a few, and snack on the free pickles. The sandwiches are alright, but you can get a bigger, better, and cheaper sandwich from Publix. The service has also been poor for my coworkers and I, often having to repeatedly ask for drinks, and felt like we were inconveniencing them in the process.
