Los Maguey - Awesome!

We had the honor of dining at Los Maguey for lunch today as DJ Tony was about to do a private karaoke party there.  Of all of the Mexican restaurants we have eaten at, this one has GOOD FOOD!  Tony opted for a Beef Burrito Special.  When it was brought to the table, I was SO jealous.  He confirmed it was as good as it looked.  I opted for the Quesadilla Fajita Texana which had grilled veggies, beef, chicken & shrimp, it was also very tasty.  I think next time I will try the burrito that Tony ordered.  Anyway, this new restaurant is worth a try, I think you will be impressed.

Hardees - Downtown Cumming, GA

One day we ventured out to Hardee's with some good coupons in hand to give it a try. Well we were surprised by the excellent service, which is normally unheard of in a typical fast food joint. The food is also top notch as well. The place is nice and clean and well maintained. Yesterday I had my pick of several places to grab lunch and I chose Hardees yet again because I knew I would get a great meal and we certainly did. We learned yesterday if you want a decent sized burger, the Thickburger is the way to go.

Hangry's Burgers, Weiners & Waffles

We had the opportunity to have lunch at Hangry's. They really impressed us from the very few minutes we entered the restaurant. They are located in the same location where "That Burger Place" was located that is no longer around. We were brought in with a coupon and I must say it was worth it to us to check them out as our experience was very good with them. We both did order a burger and the sweet potato fries. Our server, Michelle, just recently started working there. Her attitude was exemplary, she told us how she was so excited to be working there and everything she said she has tried on the menu has been great. The burger comes with their special Hangry's sauce. We didn't know what it was like so we asked for it on the side so we could taste it first. We both liked it very much. The sweet potato fries come with a special marshmallow dipping sauce that also has a cinnamon flavor to it. We liked it but we also asked for some maple syrup to go with our fries for dipping...we made our own mixture with both and it was delicious! We definitely want to go back and try some other things. Michelle told us about their special banana nut waffles. They serve the breakfast items all day long so it doesn't matter if it is morning or not. Some of the omelets sounded very tasty. Also on the menu I noticed breakfast burritos & quesadillas. The entire staff was very professional and excited about what they do. You definitely don't find that everywhere and it is worth noticing.

UPDATE:  This location is now closed.  This is TWO restaurants that opened in this space that didn't make it.

CiCi's Pizza Cumming (Exit 13)

I have to be specific because your experience may differ if you go to another location. The newly opened CiCi's Pizza on Ronald Reagan Blvd. in Cumming has scored big points with us. If you have been in the area for a while, you may recognize the management staff that previously worked at the Exit 14 CiCi's Pizza. They have successfully opened their new restaurant this month just around the corner from The Avenue at Forsyth in a new shopping center that is apparently doing everything to appeal to families. I only mention that because the other businesses that are occupying that shopping center are very "children accommodating". The spot right next to them just opened today called Razzberrie Dreamz which is a children's party boutique featuring fun themed birthday parties.

Okay, back to CiCi's Pizza.... when I heard they were open we stopped by to support them and their new restaurant. Now that they have an all new store, they are more than ready to cater to your every desire. If you are not familiar with CiCi's Pizza, it is an all you can eat pizza, pasta and salad buffet. Adults price is $5.49 (I think). It's an overall great value. Not only can you eat from the buffet, but you can also special order anything you want that is not already on the pizza buffet. For instance today we special ordered the "flip" with some additional toppings inside and I also ordered a pizza special made that wasn't already on the bar. They bring special orders fresh out of the over to your table. We have already gone back a total of 3 times this month.

The Foster House

Last week we had the pleasure to enjoy lunch at The Foster House in downtown Cumming, GA. I can't say that we went for too much variety. Turns out we both ordered the Blue Cheese Burger. For my husband it was the first time he ever had one, but I can tell you if there is a blue cheese burger on the menu, that is what I will order. I opted for the famous Sweet Potato Chips as my side. He chose the squash casserole that was on the daily menu. Lunch was great and the atmosphere was fabulous. We were very happy. We also got to meet owner Amanda Davis. She was great. She gave us a bit of a tour since I will be returning soon to deejay and emcee a wedding reception there soon. I am very much looking forward to that. They also do catering and are open for special events and weddings. They serve breakfast and lunch.
