Monterrey Mexican Grill & Bar 815 S Park St, Carrollton, GA 30117 🌮 Monterrey Mexican Grill & Bar – 4.1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ If you’re rolling through Carrollton on a Friday night and your stomach starts speaking fluent Spanish, Monterrey Mexican Grill & Bar is ready to translate. Let’s start with the important stuff: the avocado rolls. Listen… these weren’t just good. These were the “accidentally eat your friend’s last piece and pretend you didn’t know it was theirs” kind of good. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and packed with flavor. If avocado had a fan club, I’d be president after this visit. Easily the star of the table and absolutely worth ordering again. 🌟 The Pros Friendly staff – The kind of welcome that makes you feel like you’ve been coming there since 2008. Attentive service – Drinks refilled before you realize they’re low. Chips? Never empty. Speedy service – Friday night and the food still came out fast. No time to start questioning life choices. La...

Hibachi buffet | Atlanta, Ga Buford Hwy NE ⭐️⭐️⭐✨ (3.7 out of 5) — Hibachi Buffet | Atlanta, GA Hibachi Buffet is exactly what you expect when you hear the words “Chinese buffet”—and I mean that in both the comforting and slightly concerning ways. Let’s start with the wins. Seating is lightning-fast, which is perfect when your stomach is making decisions faster than your brain. The staff is friendly and keeps things moving, and the food selection is huge—so huge that you’ll need at least two laps before committing. Pricing is pretty standard for a buffet these days, around $25 per person with tip, and overall the place is fairly clean, which already puts it ahead of some buffet horror stories we won’t speak of. Now for the not-so-great. For a Chinese buffet, the chicken situation is… confusing. No General Tso’s, no orange chicken, no classics—just sesame chicken holding down the fort like it lost its coworkers. About half the food was barely warm, which makes you question whether it’s ...

⭐ 3.9 out of 5 Corner House Restaurant in Summerville is a solid go-to, especially if you’re on a lunch break and the clock is not your friend. The staff here deserves a shoutout—friendly, attentive, and efficient enough to get us in and out without feeling rushed. The dining area and restrooms were clean, which always earns bonus points, and the bar is huge—the kind of bar that makes you briefly consider canceling the rest of your day. The menu has something for just about everyone: salads, burgers, soups, and all the classic bar-food favorites. Prices landed right around $20 per person with tip, which feels reasonable for the variety and portion sizes. Now for the hiccup. The grilled chicken on the salad looked like it had been seared by the sun itself. The grill marks were burnt burnt, and unfortunately that char overpowered the entire salad and took the flavor down with it. A shame, because everything else was working in its favor. That said, my guests enjoyed their meals and had n...

Swig & Swine BBQ review | Summerville, SC 1990 Old Trolley Rd, Summerville, SC 29485 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 4.4 out of 5 —  Swig & Swine is exactly what you hope for when you walk into a BBQ joint and catch that glorious meat’s been smoking all day aroma. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was clean, and the food came out quick—perfect timing right after the lunch rush when everyone’s happy and nobody’s hangry. The BBQ itself was very tasty and hit all the right notes you’d expect from a place that literally smokes their meats out back. And let’s talk about the coleslaw for a second—this wasn’t a side, this was a statement. Easily a 5/5 in the coleslaw category, which is harder to achieve than most people realize. Pricing is another win. Coming in under $20 per person with tip makes this spot feel like a solid value, especially for quality BBQ. Now, the only knock: portion sizes. They weren’t massive “roll-you-out-the-door” platters. I was full and satisfied, but if yo...

Grace & Grit Review | Mt Pleasant, SC 320 Wingo Way #100, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.6 out of 5) Grace & Grit – Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina Grace & Grit is one of those places that looks like it’s about to charge you “special occasion” prices… but pleasantly doesn’t. The restaurant gives off a high-end, coastal-chic vibe — clean, modern, and classy — yet the menu stays refreshingly reasonable (expect around $30 per person with tip). Fancy without the financial regret. 😄 The seafood-focused menu truly has something for everyone, so even the picky eater in your group won’t be left staring at one option like it’s a life decision. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and despite not having a reservation, they managed to fit us in — always a win in a busy Mt. Pleasant spot. Cleanliness was on point too. From the dining area to the restrooms, everything looked well cared for (yes, restrooms matter… we all judge). Now for the real star: the food. With four people order...

China Town Review | Summerville, Sc 1206 N Main St Summerville, Sc 29483 🍜 China Town Chinese Buffet – Summerville, SC ⭐ 3.5 out of 5 stars Walking into China Town, the first impression was solid. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself was clean with inviting décor. No sticky floors, no mystery smells—points awarded there. Now… let’s talk buffet reality. The food selection was noticeably smaller than what you’d expect from a Chinese buffet. Missing staples like General Tso’s Chicken and coconut shrimp is borderline buffet blasphemy. I mean… who does that? Those are like the founding fathers of Chinese buffet culture. As for the food that was available—everything was cooked to absolute extinction. Any bacteria that ever thought about existing didn’t stand a chance. I grabbed two pieces of fish that were so overcooked I wasn’t sure whether to eat them or use them as a door stop. I chose neither. Then there’s the pricing. For the selection offered, it felt o...

Anejos Tacos and Tequila | Moncks Corner, SC 2822 US-52 Suite 400, Moncks Corner, SC 29461 ⭐ 4.2 out of 5 Stars – Añejo’s Tacos & Tequila (Moncks Corner, SC) ⭐ If flavor had a VIP section, Añejo’s would be guarding the door. From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff makes you feel like a regular—even if it’s your first time. Bonus points for that. Let’s talk about the chips and salsa: dangerously good. The kind of good where you say “I’ll just have a few” and suddenly the basket is gone and you’re wondering what happened. Now for the real star of the show—the food. Beautifully plated, packed with flavor, and clearly made with intention. This isn’t just “good Mexican food,” this is the kind that makes you pause mid-bite and say, “Okay… wow.” Everything looked as good as it tasted, which is rare and appreciated. The menu is impressively large, offering plenty of Mexican-style dishes that cater to both traditional tastes and adventurous eaters. Be warned: choosing what to order ...
