This is not your typical chain – the burgers are both interesting and comforting and can be paired with unique (and sometimes healthy) sides such as quinoa salad and seared broccolini. The quinoa salad was my favorite. The Kona Burger with a seared pineapple ring on top made for a very pretty burger and a balance…

Frustrating Famoso
This is a very popular chain and their oven fired pizzas are delicious. What is frustrating is navigating through the ordering process (you fill out a card & bring it to the cashier) and there is a perception of lack of service due to this unique model. If there were not lineups then maybe I would…

Served piping hot, the plate is loaded with perfect cuboids of calamari, tossed in…
