Dos Compadres, Olive Branch, MS

Dos Compadres

MAP

Dos Compadres is a Mexican restaurant in Olive Branch on MS-178 a few blocks south of Goodman Road or a few blocks north of Hacks Cross. It's relatively new; It used to be called something else and I had been there once too.

I went there a few weeks ago for the first time and really liked it. It was authentic Mexican and everything was spicy but I loved it!

I don't remember the exact price but the prices were great! I highly recommend trying them out.

Condado Tacos and Tequila, Louisville, KY

Condado

MAP

Condado is a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar in Louisville on Shelbyville Road/Hwy 60 near Christian Way in the complex where Top Golf is. I was passing through Louisville a couple of weeks ago on the way back from Ohio and my friends and I stopped there for dinner.

The food and service was really great. I got nachos, my friend got a couple of tacos, and her daughter got chicken and rice. I don't remember the total but it was reasonable for what all we got.

If you're in the area I definitely recommend trying them.

The Whistle Stop

The Whistle Stop is a small family owned diner in Galion on Harding Way East at the corner of Liberty Street, next to the Ohio Museum of Horror. I was in Ohio this week and stopped there for lunch.

The food was very good. It was "standard" cafe fare but I was impressed. I'm not sure how much the bill was because someone else paid but menu prices seemed reasonable and about average.

I definitely recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

Sid's Food Mart, Southaven, MS

Sid's

MAP

Sid's is a small market on Highway 51 in Southaven just south of Custer Drive. I heard they had good burgers and I went there last week to try one.

The burger was really good. They prepare their cooked food fresh when you order it so burgers take a few minutes. They sell to go food only.

They have a pretty good deal for a burger, fries, and regular drink. I think the sign said $6.99. I got a double so it was more than that.

I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Lucky Buffet, West Memphis, AR

Lucky Buffet

Lucky Buffet is a seafood buffet in West Memphis south of I-40 and west of Seventh Street. I went there a few weeks ago.

The price was pretty decent, about $19 for all you can eat, and they had a good selection of food but the restaurant was a little dirty. I noticed a couple of gnats (I think that's what they were) crawling around on the salad bar after we had eaten our meal. I was going to get a small salad but then decided against it because of that.

Otherwise it was okay. I can't really recommend them. I didn't get sick or anything I was just a little put off by the lack of cleanliness. It's also worth mentioning that it was pretty hot in the restaurant. The air was working but I noticed on the thermostat as we were leaving that it was set pretty high, about 82 or 83 I think.

Jack's Diner, Coldwater, MS

Jack's

MAP

Jack's is a small diner in Coldwater on the square at the corner of Highway 51 and Central Avenue. I went there a couple of weeks ago for lunch on the way out of town and it was pretty good. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The price was decent but maybe a little high, but not bad.

It's sort of "out of the way" unless you happen to be passing through Coldwater on Highway 51 but it's worth a stop if you're in the area.

 

Hole in One Grill, Marion, AR

Hole in One

MAP

Hole in One Grill is the cafe at the Brownstone Country Club in Marion on Club Circle west of Highway I-55 North. I went over there a couple of weeks ago for lunch.

Unfortunately I wasn't that impressed. The food was okay but definitely just mediocre. I ordered boneless wings and a cheeseburger and both where average.

The prices were a little high, presumably because it's a grill at a country club, which made it a little worse. The service was also a little below average.

I was very surprised but it happens sometimes.

If you're in the area and try them let me know if you have a different experience.
