We had the unlimited bbq for $17.99 per person. You got to pick 4 kinds of meat. The price was well worth it. They are very good about changing the grills, keeping your BBQ experience clean and fresh.

Sarah decided to take me out to dinner after our trapeze class as a belated birthday treat. She didn't make it to my birthday dinner since she was in Vegas. I can't believe I've never been to this place. She discovered this spot from Nikki. I am definitely coming back, I love that they make their own dressings. I die.

After a 5 hour hike session with Lo at Los Liones Canyon we decided to hit up Mick's Cafe for a late lunch, but they were closed so we decided to hit up this place since it was recommended by a friend of hers. It was bomb.com

I've driven by the place numerous times, but never got the urge to actually try it. I kept noticing all the "check-ins" on Facebook when people I know drop by for a bite so I figured it was time to give it a go. I wasn't impressed, but it wasn't bad.
