One of my favorite local bagel shops here in town, especially when they’re just opening! Their “boiled and baked” bagels (hence the naming of the restaurant) are so savory and fluffy, and their cream cheese is also made in house as well! They offer...

I only come here for one thing, and that’s their cheeseburgers. There is something very unique and special about their recipe, and it’s located right in the heart of downtown. If you and your friends are looking for a low key billiards hall, with s...

This is not a usual spot for me, and I will say sometimes the long wait times deter me from coming here very often. However, the food is usually very good, all being reasonably priced food. The environment inside is also relatively nice, and welcom...

This coffee spot is one of my girlfriend’s favorites, and it’s slowly becoming one of mine as well just based on the quality of the food they put out. As a coffee shop, their items for food are very limited, but they offer a range of baked goods li...

This place makes some phenomenal biscuits, upholding a great reputation for being a biscuit forward breakfast place. Their options are a touch pricey, and it is very busy during the nicer weather, but this place is worth the wait.

This was one of the first very authentic Mexican restaurants I had been to, and saying authentic doesn’t just mean Hispanic cuisine. The food had a lot of love and care put into it using real Hispanic ingredients, and it was locally owned by a mom a...

Everything about this place ranks it number 1 for me on a personal basis as well, simply just because of the fact that there isn’t anything I don’t like about this place. The location is perfect downtown, not too deep in the heart of it but still t...
