MONICA'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT
It's easy to drive right by Monica's without even noticing it, but we recommend that you stop in and give it a try. They've got great tacos, burritos, and tortas, and something that sets them apart from other Mexican restaurants in the area is the fact that they serve breakfast. Try the chilaquiles with green salsa!

JK GYROS
We got to JK's Gyros for the great gyros, hot dogs, pizza, and cheese fries! They're always packed with high school students during their lunch hour, so we try to stick to the evenings, but either way they're worth the wait. If you're not a gyro fan, try the chicken pita. It's healthy and really delicious.

NEW CANTON CHOP SUEY
The mark of a great Chinese restaurant is their egg rolls, and we're happy to say that New Canton Chop Suey has delicious ones! Their sweet and sour chicken is their specialty, and the chicken fried rice is equally delicious. The chicken egg foo young is wonderful, and so is the chicken almond ding. The prices here are a little lower than the other Chinese restaurants in the area too.

TAQUERIA LOS POSADAS
Taqueria Los Posadas serves up great Mexican and American Tex Mex food every single day! The specialty is the shrimp soup, and if you're a fan of that flavorful little crustacean, you'll definitely want to put that on your list of things to try. It's true that good things come in small packages, because this tiny little restaurant really has some amazing dishes. Try the steak tacos! Always tasty and delicious.

PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA
Papa John's is one of the chain pizzerias, but it's worth mentioning because they are truly one of the best. Perfectly crafted crusts, just the right amount of cheese, and a sauce that's so flavorful and zesty that you'll find yourself coming back time and time again just for that reason. Great coupons easily available via a quick Google search too!

MANDARIN GARDENS
Mandarin Gardens is a great place to get hearty portions of delicious Chinese and Mandarin food. The beef fried rice is our absolute favorite item on the menu. Great service, cozy surroundings, and a very extensive menu. This is the perfect place when you're craving those old standards like chop suey or chow mein.

DELI 4 YOU
Deli 4 You is a wonderful deli with homemade sausage, salads, meats, smoked salmon, pickles, and much more.
