Twisted t restaurant and sports bar - Amarillo

It is late October so it is time to do some west Texas canyon hiking. So we took off this morning to Amarillo. Of course at the end of the day dinner becomes a necessity. I have two restaurants in Amarillo that are clients. So no soul searching as to where we would be eating (the other is palios pizza cafe).

Twisted t is connected to western bowling, but this is not a snack bar. Being a good redneck I am at home in a bowling alley. If ET was a redneck, ET would phone the bowling alley.  The menu here has many different varieties. Any hungry person would be able to find something good to eat here. Wings, salads, burgers, entres, etc.

The wifey went for the chicken fried steak with mashed taters and green beans. The cfs was one of the thickest pieces of meat in a Cfs we have ever seen and one of the best quality pieces of meat. The mashed taters were an above average tater and the green beans has a sweet flavor. She gave it 8 thumbs up (only rednecks can do this).

I ordered enchiladas. One beef and one cheese. First of all, this meal came with chips and salsa. The chips were covered in their spicy t sauce. These chips had a very spicy flavor that stays with you. Not overwhelming, but tasty spicy. The beef enchilada had the special t spice in the meat and the chili. Good stuff here. The cheese enchilada had a good flavored cheese covered in the spicy chili. Another good to go. The beans and rice were covered in a good amount of cheese. When you add the extra chili and cheese these are better than most.

This is some good grub here. Mitcho does not speak with a forked tongue even if he does know the owner.

So if you are just west of Dallas and it is feed time, slide into the twisted t, you won't regret it.

Pei Wei - Casa Linda

The wifey came in at dinner time and announced we were heading to Pei Wei in Casa Linda. So the only right thing for me to do was to get my groove on and do the Cha Cha Cha to Pei Wei. I don't think Pei Wei has been here very long, but I am not sure. Casa Linda has a number of quality restaurants to pick from besides Pei Wei. You can choose from El Fenix, Chili's, Highland Park Cafeteria, Torchy's Taco, and the Alligator Café to name a few.

We don't go to Pei Wei much, so I struggle with the menu every time I go. Of course most places we slide into, we eat the same thing every time we go, so no real variety at all. So a little variety doesn't hurt, huh.

I chose the Caramel Chicken. Wow, this thing was caramel sweet, spicy and hot. This grubb has chili paste, pineapple, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, mint, rice sticks and Asian slaw. Talking about an explosion of tastes in your mouth. I will be grabbing this grubb again.

I also have the Chai Black Tea which also has cinnamon and vanilla. The tea was as interesting as the entre.

Overall, I enjoyed this meal. Gonna do it again soon.

Howard's Catfish Cafe - Pioneer Rd Mesquite

We decided we needed to eat in a new restaurant this evening to keep my blog readers entertained. So we settled on Howard's catfish. We have had several friends tell us how good the fish was here. So we did the Belly dance to Howard's.

When you walk in, you know you are in redneck heaven. The first thing you see is a pool table to the right and games to the left. I began wondering if there were tables to eat at. Sure enough if you go far enough to the back there are tables.

I missed the sign, but this place only accepts cash. So be prepared to deal presidents.

This may be the first restaurant that has a Coke vending machine next to where you order and you buy your drinks from the vending machine. Different.

So we inspected the menu and ordered a 4 piece fish dinner for us to share. We never could figure out what was supposed to come with the meal, so we wondered what we would get.

I also missed the sign at the front door that said it took 30 minutes for your meal to be cooked. No kidding, we waited at least 30 minutes. Now if my pool game was intact from my youthful years, I may have been able to win cash for dinner while waiting on my meal. However, since arthritis has taken over, all I can do is watch.

When dinner arrived, the 4 pieces of fish are very large. Underneath them was French fries, pickles and toast. NO HUSHPUPPIES.

I never got around to pickles, but the fries was a frozen French fry you can buy at the grocery store. The buttered toast was ok. The fish had a very nice batter and was ok. The fish was better than David Beard's has to offer. But for good fish Doe Belly's RULES.

After reviewing my take on this restaurant, I am wondering if I need to turn in my Redneck Card.
First of all, I didn't shoot any pool when I walked in. I don't like having to pay cash. A real redneck only has cash. He had a credit card until the credit card company determined that he never intended to make any payments. A redneck likes all things in vending machines or one armed bandits.

My only saving grace here is a real redneck would have pitched a fit not receiving any Hushpuppies.

So go to www.yourvotedoesn'tcount.com and vote your opinion.

So giving em a 5.0. That's the best I can do when you consider everything here.
