Murphy's

📍 Address: 997 Virginia Ave NE, Atlanta

⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)

Caught them during staff turn over for a post-matinee dinner and they never missed a beat. On a cool wet day, the brisket was like a mother's love. There were a few fine points that didn't detract from a wonderful meal. The pozole was delicious but the garnishes puzzling; why feta instead of cotija and why pickled red cabbage instead of the contrast of raw red cabbage? Not negative but worthy of note was that he portions on the cheese board were fine for two but no more.

⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)

Good food and nice ambience, however, servers are extremely lethargic . Serving sloooowly, and yawning all the way . Kinda spoils the otherwise perfect place .

The Thurman Cafe

📍 Address: 183 Thurman Ave, Columbus

⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)

Went here on a Friday night Nov 22 2019. I met a buddy who drove from the Dayton Area as I came from the Cleveland area. We met (somewhat) halfway, lol. By the way, I removed my truthful negative review experience here. I'm starting fresh and making this review. Most of the servers here are good and service here on last visit was great. But my last bad experience (excluding this review/good visit) or second to last? One of the two? .......caused me or spurred me to let it fly (its now a removed negative review). Long story short: I went here in noon day about 1 month from this dated last visit? I entered and sat at the bar, no busy lines or people waiting. The bar was nearly empty. I ordered one beer, and I EXPLICITLY said, "Hi, I'm just having ONE BEER. I'm gonna listen to a few songs (touch tunes) and take off in less than 30 minutes." I was gonna meet a friend for lunch elsewhere, but she doesn't need to know this. And I also added, "But I was here last night, and I had a burger, a drink, and it was awesome!", is what I said to her (along that description). So the server walks away. So here I am on my phone trying to select a song or I was on you tube? (I forget exactly). I'm enjoying my time on my phone as I'm happily anticipating my rendezvous of a friend while enjoying a beer. About 4 minutes have gone by, the same server comes back and asks me, "Do you want something to eat or order some food?" I'm looking at her with incredulity. I say to myself, "Is she for real? Do I need to close my eyes and count to three and see if this is happening?" So Im looking at her wondering if I'm caught up in a time warp of "space time continuum" or something like that and I said, "No thank you." After telling her this, I was wondering what or who I was speaking to earlier after explaining what I was there for? I had to ask myself, "Is it illegal in Columbus,OH to order ONE BEER and listen to music for 30 minutes before taking off?" So I go back to my phone again watching you tube and the same server comes back to me, yet again, about 7 minutes later and asks (second time), "Can I get you something to eat?" I'm kinda looking at her, thinking to myself, would it have helped, after she asked me the first time, would it have helped if I grabbed her two ears, looked her square in the eye, and asked her, "What part of the description did you not get when I explained what I was here for? Was I speaking French?" I thought it was very rude! Extremely off putting! And very pushy! Here I am, wondering what had I done to warrant this? So I jog my memory, back track and go over my interaction with her. I wasn't rude. I complimented the food experience the prior night. I'm not taking up seats, there are no people waiting for seats................I just couldn't believe it! The only logical conclusion I'd surmise is that she was just a spiteful, rude, and malicious person that does not like seeing someone enjoy a single beer in "their establishment" for 30 minutes as they listen to music at their expense as they toil. So here I am, at this point, mildly agitated, I look at the server talking to a co worker as she now has time to chat with a co-worker................so I purposefully wave at her, so as to interrupt her (as she did me) and inquire of the menu........then she walks away............she has another break talking to her co worker again. So I look at her, and disrupt her again, and say, "Excuse me", then I inquired of the menu and asked a stupid question again of the menu. And I did it a third time. I was trying to convey through her thick skull that maybe you just ought to leave someone alone when they're just enjoying one beer in your establishment for only 30 minutes because it's not illegal. And it's not illegal for someone to enjoy one beer in your establishment that you don't like for unwarranted personal malicious reasons. On last visit, I didn't see this server there. The other servers here are good. It's ashamed one server like this can ruin it. And I'll continue to come here. Because logic dictates not all the servers are as sorry as this server was. As a matter of fact, I've decided to have one beer for 30 minutes again. And I do hope I see her again.

Pine State Biscuits

📍 Address: 2204 NE Alberta St, Portland

⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)

Great biscuits! Reggie Deluxe with Egg is highly recommended (the spicy version was also on point). Hash browns were crispy and should be eaten fairly quickly to ensure optimal temperature profile. The line moves fairly quickly late morning and it's definitely worth a trip!

Korean Grille

📍 Address: 1429 Hancock St, Quincy

⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐ (3)

Stopped by here the night of the Noreaster. It's a small place and since it was empty, I opted to sit at the bar, which is really just a counter. The folks that were working there were very friendly. Ordered the yookhwejang (spicy beef soup), which was ok. It was spicy, but could have used some more meat in the broth. I did appreciate the number of side dishes that was served. Mostly places would probably only give two or three dishes.

I had the biscuits and gravy which was good, but a little cold when I starting eating. The half/half lemonade was really good and not too sweet.
