Eddie44 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 All we ever seem to talk about here is our Vettes and associated topics. I thought I'd start something a little different. What is your favorite, little know restaurant in the Phoenix metro area? I'm not talking Chilli's, Macayo's, or any of the other "chain" places. I mean the little mom and pop place that has great food. I'll start with a couple of mine.Knockneed Lobster at 32nd St and Washington (they also have another e. valley location). Great fastfood type fish. Don't go for the atmosphere just great fish.Cubs Park at 40th St and Bell Rd. Great Chicago style hotdogs, fries, etc. Again no atmosphere (mostly Cubs stuff).Let's hear your favorite hole in the wall eating place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1EvilC5 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 If you like Chinese food for a very good price. It is located at 48th Street and Southern, in the SW Shopping Mall. The name I believe is "Chinese Restaurant".You better bring cash because they do not take checks or cards. Thats how small and hole in the wall this place is.Eddie, you might want to try for lunch someday when at work. Lunch specials are under $3.00. You can't beat that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
