Kitchens Hardware & Cafe - Mineola, TX

Due to life's circumstances, I have been hanging out in the city with them so called professionals and I feel like I have become way to citified. So the wifey and I decided to skip off to East Texas and associate with some good ole East Texas rednecks for a few days. All you have to do is hole yourself up in an area with mobile homes, storage buildings turned into homes, and other makeshift accommodations and you will get an education of a lifetime or two.

Of course while we were down in the woods, we tended to wander during the day and one day we wandered into Mineola. Now, I have been here before and I have been aware of the cafe in a hardware store. This is redneck on steroids. So we slid into Kitchens Hardware and Cafe. Nothing like eating with shelves of hardware nearby and many many old relics of the past.

After studying the menu, I decided to go for the Junk Yard Dog. I am thinking why not. This is a hot dog with chili, sauerkraut, onions, cheese and any other stray items they happen to have in the kitchen. this doggy had the best sauerkraut I have tore into in a very long time. The chili and dog were pretty good, and there was a good amount of onion. Overall, this was a powerful good doggy.

The meal also came with homemade french fries. We all like fries, and these were pretty thin cut and fried crisp just like I like'em.

So if you are getting too citified and need an instant cure, grab up some know associates and bogey down to Mineola and checkout Kitchens Hardware you won't regret it.

Circle Grill

Me and a known associate meet for breakfast every Saturday morning. Usually we meet at Cracker Barrel and we have our own personal waitress. However, our waitress had surgery recently and is out of work for a few months. So we currently are free agents to try some of the local establishments that sling breakfast.

This week we chose Circle Grill. Both of us in the late 60's and 70's hung out at Circle Grill usually around midnight after an fun filled evening of Shenanigans, terriorist activities, partying and other fun filled waste of our time. We have settled down more than we would like to admit to over the many years. We didn't know each other back then, but we were probably there at the same time many times and would have been double trouble if we knew each other. Both of us rave about how good the enchiladas and chili were at midnight there. Yum, Yum. So we went back just for old memories sake. 

My known associate has had Circle Grill enchiladas on his brain all week. So he asked the waitress if they could prepare enchiladas at 7:00 in the morning. One order of enchiladas coming up. They came with chips and salsa. We also ordered our usual biscuits and gravy and burnt bacon. There is nothing like some burnt pig.

Yipper, biscuits and gravy, bacon, enchiladas and chips and salsa for breakfast. The breakfast of champions (or is that chimps).

We have many friends that slide into the Circle Grill still and they brag about their breakfast. They are probably from the eggs and bacon tribe instead of the biscuits and gravy tribe.

As for biscuits and gravy, the biscuits were decent, but the gravy was lacking  Of course the burnt bacon was great, you can't hurt dead pig that is overcooked. Imagine this, the chips were stale at best. Yes at 7:00 am. The salsa needs more zing to it. The enchiladas were as good as I have had in Colorado or New Mexico, but leave something to be desired in Texas. Wolf Brand chili would be better than the chili on the enchiladas. Our memory was far better than this, of course our memory was severely damaged back in the day.

Next time wait till noon for the enchiladas.

Overall, givem a 7 for breakfast, plus a bonus point for memories so 8.0.

Hamburger Joint Taco Challenge Burger King-Jack in the Box-Dairy Queen

One of my avid (or rabid) readers recently requested a taco challenge of tacos at fast food hamburger joints. You gotta know I am a big fan of tacos. It is obviously one of the major food groups. You also need to know I am a fan of quantity over quality.

I will start with Burger Thing. They have just recently jumped into the taco game. Welcome to the big time. Good luck getting one of their tacos. I went 3 times before I found a BK with Tacos. To be fair I ordered 4 tacos at each place. The taco shell is quite greasy. The taco has lettuce and meat. The lettuce is just normal. Now for the meat. I don’t know what mystery meat really is, but I am not sure what this meat is. It may be a version of mystery meat. It has a funky kind of taste. The salsa was pretty good and enough of it covers up the meat flavor if you want to call it flavor. I give em a 6.45674. Note they are $1.00 each.

Now for Jack in the Box. I am somewhat prejudice here. In high school, Jack in the Box was the hangout place. The tacos were 19 cents each back then. We would order 15 to 20 each. So I have eaten a lot of their tacos over the years. These shells are somewhat greasy also. The lettuce is just normal. I am not sure of the meat here. It may be a mystery also. This brought back memories of potted meat. Somehow this meat taste ok. Their salsa has a decent flavor. Overall I am a fan of the Jack in the Box taco. 69 cents each. Giv’em a 7:638539.

Finally Dairy Queen. These tacos more closely resemble tacos made at home or good Tex-Mex restaurants. The shells here are a good quality shell. They are loaded with a decent amount of cheese and lettuce. The meat is real ground hamburger. Their salsa is a little lacking here. Overall this taco can compete with Mr. Tex-Mex. Here I get a basket of 3 and a drink for $4.95. I giv’em 7.95948. Of course here you can get a blizzard for dessert.

So Dairy Queen is the winner wit Jack in the Box a close second. My actual favs are Fuzzy’s Taco and Fuel City (they have fried pies!).

I am thinking we need a taco trip and eat tacos 5 or 6 times a day.

Krispy Kreme Donuts - Reeses Peanut Butter and Chocolate

Over the weekend the Wifey and me spent some quality time with 4 of the grands, Lil Darlin, PNuggett, Precious, and DMoney. Since these kiddos are spending way too much time with their ultra citified parents, it is important that I spend quality time with them to teach them the redneck ways. So the best learning place is Dirt Track Car races. So the wifey, the 4 grands and me did the Hot Wheels to RPM Speedway on Friday night. It was very interesting, the girlies loved the racing even better than the boys. Go figure. Because we were out half the night, the grands spent the night with us.

The wifey is a huge fan of Reese's peanut butter and chocolate products. I mean all of them. So I planned to take the tribe to Krispy Kreme in Mesquite to test out the Reese's donuts. As you can tell from the picture above, the kiddos went for sprinkles on their donuts. You can also see that the wifey went straight at the Reese's donuts.

All of the kiddos report good things about their donuts, except DMoney who didn't like his. What was he thinking. I obviously am going to have to spend more quality time with him. (Of course I did get to eat his donut for him, so it wasn't all bad.) The wifey gave top notch reports for her two donuts, the chocolate and the peanut butter. I was allowed a few bites of each and they were very good.

So if you get a hankering for a good donut, you may want to get your sugar in gear and get to Krispy Kreme. Don't take all your buddies because if they are in line in front of you, they may buy all of them. How tragic could that be. (Note: I am still a big fan of the Kreme filled donuts at Dunkin Donuts.)

The Porch Swing - Mesquite Follow-up Re-Check

Being Sunday, my main wifey and me slid over to The First Fried Chicken Eaten Somewhat Baptist mostly Non-Denominational Church. As luck would have it, our sonny boy (Bud) was bringing the heat this morning (preaching). After church we had plans to meet my adopted other wife for lunch. We took a vote for lunch in which I never got around to voting not that it would have mattered. The girlies decided we would be doing the electric slide to The Porch Swing.

We had gone here back in February a few days after it opened. If you read my review from then, I wasn't that impressed.

The girlies had a chicken fried steak and they split it. In my last review, they had a long way to go to making this a good meal. Apparently they made the trip, because the girlies gave a good review of the CFS.

Recently I have been on an eating fest that makes it imperative that I lose a few pounds. Not so easy especially when they have pie. Since I had my eye on pie, I went for a vegetable plate. Salad, Broccoli Bliss, Mac and Cheesey and beans. All of these were pretty decent. You don't get excited about veggies, but if they lead to pie, then they are ok.

The two girlies got pie to go. Not this guy. I want me pie and I want it now. In my last review the coconut creme pie was in need of some attention. Mainly the topping was supposed to be whipping creme, but it was more like paste. This time I went for chocolate pie. Now if you mess up chocolate pie, then quit cooking pie. This time around the chocolate pie was very good and the whipping creme topping was excellent. Once again, they checked out my review and got with the program. 

So this time, things were much better.

Palios Pizza Cafe - Amarillo, Texas

This last week me, the wifey and grands CBoss, Lil Darlin, and King L were touring West Texas. You know a redneck has many things in common with a cowboy. You know a little pain like a broken leg is no big deal for some fun. So I fit right in for the last week. We ended up in Amarillo which is probably the capital of West Texas. Since we were traveling with the grands and CBoss has been known to eat pizza 3 meals a day for up to a week at a time, pizza for dinner is always a good choice. So we did the Amarillo Slim to Palios.

The restaurant is very nice on the inside. The staff were very attentive and the waitress we had was one of the best we have had in a long time.

I just don't understand but the Wifey, Lil Darlin and King L ordered chicken alfredo/spaghetti and meatballs. We were in  a pizza place!!!! They did report that the food was real good.

As for me and CBoss there was no choice, Pepperoni Pizza. CBoss reports after one extra large pizza, that this is in his top five. And I repeat he eats a lot of pizza. I agree with him. This was good fixin's.

After the main course the waitress asked if we would be eating dessert. Duh!!!! The wifey got triple layered chocolate cake, CBoss ordered cheesecake and Lil Darlin ordered Strawberry cheesecake. They all reported that they were very good. As for myself, I went for the chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of ice cream. It didn't say the cookie was the size of a dinner plate, which really was no problem. Man this was some good cookie. As good as The Great American Cookie and other bakeries specializing in cookies.

Overall, this was some real good fixins. I giv'em a 8.7987987

Afterwards we went to Palo Duro Canyon to see the Musical Texas. If you haven't ever seen this musical and you call yourself a Texan, get yourself to Palo Duro Canyon and check it out. While you are go to Palios for some grub.

Burger Style Cafe - Mesquite

As you know on Sunday's the wifey and I go to the First Fried Chicken Eating Mostly Non-Denomination, Somewhat Baptist Church. This Sunday after church we needed to eat lunch close to church because we had an important bidness meeting close to the church. So after careful consideration we did the burger hop to Burger Style Cafe. Obviously this place supports rednecks of all kinds. They even have Elvis perform the 3rd Friday of every month. Elvis disappeared/checked out over 40 years ago, yet he still performs the 3rd Friday night of every month. Amazing.

I had some concerns while we were ordering. A pizza delivery guy came in while we were ordering and delivered a pizza to the cook and his helper. I don't know about you, but I eat anything I cook. When you are the cook of an eatery and you order your food via takeout, I have some concerns.

The wifey ordered a Kids burger which turned out to be the same size as adulthood burgers. I ordered the cheeseburger/fries combo. The fries were pretty good, better than average.

The burger was a pretty good burger, but not any better than a Whataburger and this meal cost twice the cost of Whataburger. All burgers are judged against the Whataburger. What can I say, currently the best burger in Texas (at least till the new owners mess with the burger).

Overall, give'm a 7.01

Devils Bowl Concession Stand

It was the wifey's birthday (aka chipper). There just isn't any better evening on the town than some top flite dirt track racing and a white table cloth dinner at the concession stand of the Devils Bowl. All you other ladies out there can just forget it. The wifey wouldn't let me go for anything after being treated like a queen.

The Devils Bowl is home base for rednecks of North Texas. We all gather to show each other very good etiquette. You can learn so much here. This is where I get most of my material for this blog. It is just so rich in redneckism. We did the Bumpy Road to the Devils Bowl for a birthday party above all others.

The wifey got a hot dog. It was amazing. It was less than half the size of a normal hot dog. It apparently tasted ok, but you would have to eat several just to say you had one. I went for the cheeseburger. The meat had a pretty good flavor, but the bun, lettuce and pickles were soggy and seemed like they had been made several days ago even though I watched the cook make the meat.
The size of this cheeseburger made me think it was a miniature slider. This won't compete with Whataburger!!!! Later we got meat and cheese nachos. These were pretty good.

Overall, next time we will have dinner at Taco Bell or McDonalds and enjoy it more.

Because the wifey enjoyed the Devils Bowl so much, the next night I took her to Lawton, Ok to the Lawton Speedway to see some more dirt track racing. We will talk about the bathrooms at this place for years to come. Disgusting even for a redneck.  I did take the wifey to Texas Roadhouse for dinner which is one of her favorites. And being a certified Texas Redneck, I had to grin eating at a Texas Roadhouse in Oklahoma.

You just can't celebrate a birthday any better than my wifey's this year. I am just entirely too good to this woman.

Givin DB a 5.0000, and that is being gracious.

I do have some redneck wannabees that have indicated the burritos here are awesome, so in the next month or two, we will have a redneck confab at DB and have a burrito evening. Something to look forward to.

Chuy's - Plano

It was a long day today hanging with the chickens and taking care of them. I have never had so many girlfriends in all of my life. I am currently building them a chicken mansion. You know, nothing but the best for future fajitas.

At the end of the day we had to go to Frisco for some immunizations. If you are not familiar with North Texas, to the people on the East side of Dallas, Frisco is on the other side of the world.

Me and the wifey are going to Africa soon to search out fellow rednecks in the bush and outback. They may have redneck ways that would be appealing to us, you never know. To go to Africa we have to get immunizations for every disease that has ever hit earth. Since most of these immunizations are taken by travelers, the traveler pharmacies are in Plano and Frisco, not in redneck country. So we have to travel across the world for our shots. This time was Cholera. It is kind of funny, if you are over a certain age, they will not give you the immunization for Cholera. I guess they think that it is just ok for me to die but the wifey is worth savings.

We make it a point that when we are on that side of the world, we eat at Chuy's. (Come on Chuy's build one on the East side of Dallas somewhere.) We are a big fan of the Chuy's. So we did the Chimichanga over to Chuy's on 75 in Plano.

The Chuy's salsa is nothing to speak about. Large quantity of tomatoes, with a little onion and cilantro. But order the Jalapeno Ranch. Oh my, that is some top drawer fixin's rat there. They can't bring us chips fast enough.

I ordered the Comida Deluxe. This is two Tex-Mex Cheese Enchiladas, two chicken flautas, crispy taco, guacamole, tostada chips, etc. Man this is a lot of food. I normally am snacking two hours after a meal, but not after this one. Everyone one of these items are good stuff. You can never go wrong at Chews.

I givem a 8.651897

If you are in Plano, bring your spit can and let's grab some grub at Chews.

The Porch Swing - Mesquite

Hey Mesquite we actually have a new major restaurant. Hoooooray. Of course the percentage of restaurants that have closed after I blogged them is mind boggling. Oh well, good luck The Porch Swing. 

After a hard day of whittlin', judging a tobaccy spittin' contest and fishin for mudcat down at the crick, I had worked up a powerful hunger. So the wifey suggested we Sashay on over to The Porch Swing. The place is a down home cookin of fixins like grandma made. So we are very high on the possiblities. The menu of entrees actually is pretty limited, but then grandma only cooked a few items. Actually I only remember my dad's mom cooking fried chicken (aka Yardbird). Yea she would chase one down soon after we drug up and start the process for lunch. Since they are grandma like, I will cut them some slack.

Of course we ordered Chicken Fried Steak. If you are down home, you are Chicken Fried Steak. The breading was thick, crunchy and very tasty. However, the meat was a little tough. For $15 (all the entrees are about $15) I would expect a pretty decent piece of meat. They need some work here. I also ordered pinto beans. This is the other staple that is a must to be good. These are pretty good pinto beans, but they could use a little more spice. You know Mitcho likes spicy things. So next time bring some chili powder and throw it on top before you dive in. With a little chili powder, these would be top of the hill beans.The wifey also had the green beans and gave them a good report.

Now the real reason we were there (and everyone else that have heard the rumors down by the crick) is PIE!!!!!!!!! I have heard mention that this place has home made pies. So I was ok with splitting the CFS, but I want my own pie. One note, I think they have an apple option, but they need cherry, peach, or some other fruity option. So I went for the coconut cream pie. The topping,which I am guessing is whipped cream was very thin and crusty, but the cocunut cream filling was very very good. So over all the pie was a good.

This joint has been only open a few days. They need to review my blog and recipe suggestions and step it up just a bit. The inside is an interesting modern layout, but it does have porch swings out front. This will be good once it warms up. Also, I saw a number of other redneck types that I have served time with here, so the city (those that are not currently incarcerated) is checking it out. After a few weeks I guess the business will level off some.

Overall, it was good, but I would choose a fried pie at Fuel City over the pie, which leaves the rest suspect.

Rodeo Goat - The Harbor Rockwall

It is valentines time and the girlies in my Community Group at The First Fried Chicken Eating Mostly Non-Denominational Somewhat Baptist church have conspired again to get a good dinner from us low life husbands. For all you hard heads out there, you get your wifey candy, flowers and buy her a good meal on Valentines. Otherwise you are going to hear about for many years to come. So don't be that guy in line at Kroger's at 8:00pm on Valentines Day about to checkout a can or pork and beans for your sweetie (see my blog 2-14-18), you might as well have bought her the shot gun shells. So this sophisticated redneck let's his sweeties buy her own candy, pick her restaurant and give me detailed instructions on the flowers I buy. Not real romantic but pretty safe. This year she drove to Trinity Groves to a very exclusive candy store in which I apparently bought her 15 or so pieces of candy.

These girlies picked Rodeo Goat as our Valentine's Meal. Being a good redneck eating at a place with the name Rodeo Goat sounds like a bucking good time. What it really means is hamburger joint in which you won't understand what any of the burgers are going to be.

So we did the Sweetie Shuffle to Rodeo Goat in Rockwall at The Harbor.

To start things off we ordered an appetizer of Cheese Fries Surprise. That is kind of scary when after looking at the hamburger's, I don't understand half of what I read. Apparently havarti is a really good cheese. What is hydroponic sprouts, berry boursin, gruyere, blackberry compote, kalamata, tapenade, arugula, on and on and on. Of course bacon is mentioned on several of the burgers and Mitcho knows bacon. So Surprise could be a valid concern. It turns out, Surprise is jalapeno's and house chili. This is some good fixins. It is a tie with Snuffers cheese fries,so that is a good.

After going over the menu several times. I settled for the Terlingua burger. It has the aforementioned havarti cheese (which was good), house chili which was good, onion (you know Mitcho loves his onion), corn chips, and garlic-herb mayo. I know everything here assuming havarti is cheese. This was a pretty big burger and it was very good. An explosion of flavors awaits you here.

The wifey got the "Inner Beauty" burger. She didn't need it, she is already beautiful inside out (It is Valentines and I am not as stupid as l look.) But she thought it was good go. She said she liked it and it was gone in just a few minutes.

Since there was 14 of us, there were good times, tall tales, and plans for future mischief to get into.

Overall give'm a 8.549849874564

Lindy's Restaurant Seagoville Rd

We have a long time close friend that over the years have given us ideas for restaurants to eat in and he has never been wrong. So recently he had dinner with Elvis in Lindy's and posted it on Facebook. The wifey saw it on Facebook and asked if he recommended Lindy's and he did. So we did the

Klompendansen down to Lindy's. The restaurant is on I-20 just East of I-635 and I-20. This place is on the border of Balch Springs and Seagoville so it is definitely redneck country. For my upstanding/ employed/milennials/generation X/respectable friends, come by the house on the way and I will give you enough flannel to get you in.

This is actually a very nice building outside and inside. This is home cooking. So comfort food. Chicken Fried Steak, veggies, salad, etc., but they didn't serve rolls with our dinner.

The wifey went for the Chicken Fried Steak, pinto beans, corn and spinach. She gave high marks to CFS, beans and corn. However, she wanted to have a session outside with the cook over the spinach.  I have been to the woodshed with her and it is not pretty. The waitress and cashier both indicated the spinach wasn't their best item. If they know it, why don't they fix it??? 

I went for the Taco Salad. The shell it came in was one of the largest I have ever had and it was full of meat, lettuce, cheese, etc. They also served chips and salsa with it. The chips and salsa were about normal, nothing great, but not bad ether. The salad was very tasty and filling. So they can do redneck Mexican also. 

Our friend recommends breakfast with Janis Joplin and lunch with Jimmie Hendrix besides dinner with Elvis. I agree this is a good place to go for southern comfort food. So grab up your recent cell mates, swing by my hacienda for some flannel disguises and boogy to Lindy's. I don't think you will go wrong, of course unless the county sheriff is there also.

Degenhardt's Brat Haus - Legacy Hall in Legacy West / The 8 Tracks Band

A few years ago we adopted a young lady as a grandchild for us to hang with, bug and annoy. I didn't think through the consequences of having a smart high schooler to hang with. One night a year ago, she came over, smiled real big, batted her eyes and informed me that I was judging a Speech Contest at Hockaday Prepartory School. Yea, the King Redneck goes into a private school that the billionaires across America send their kids to school. Yea that went real well. I am not sure how a pair of white crackers that are very conservative ends up with a beautiful Mexican young woman that is ultra liberal. Makes for some good debates and she's good at debating. Today, our lil darlin is in college now and is home for the Christmas break. So the wifey decided we needed to take her to dinner and Ketchup with what is going on in her life. Knowing lil darlin likes 70's and 80's rock music like we do,.I did some checking and found one of our favorite local bands was playing in Legacy Hall in Legacy West. So time to do the boogy boogy to Legacy West.

I had never been to Legacy West. Wow, you could spend a whole months paycheck in less than an hour in this place.The shops are so fancy I have never heard of any of them. If you was in dire need of some creek supplies, you know a treble hook, stink bait or a toad sticker you would be completely out of luck . Well maybe you could find a rhinestone one which cost a $1,000 to fish for mud cat with. Needless to say I did not let the girlies to go into any of the stores. For all you fans from Skeeterville, Legacy West is conveniently located on the far northwest side of Plano, just across the Yard from Frisco.

Legacy Hall is in Legacy West. It is a building that has 3 stories of restaurants and watering holes. It also has an outdoor concert venue that is pretty cool. Tonight real cool since it was in 40"s. This is a pretty cool spot to hangout and listen to some music. Warning, if you are planning on eating dinner, yes there are a few tables, but no where near enough. The restaurants are upscale food court eateries. Fancy grub at a fancy price sold in a food court effectively. Not bashing it, just a new concept. The good part of this is the wifey went to one place, I took lil darlin to another and after I had them situated I went to a third.

I went to Degenhardt's Brat Haus. I am just guessing, the food has a German twang to it. I ordered the Spicy Wurst, which was a spicy brat with saute'd onions. I also added beer batter mustard, sauerkraut and jalapenos. So a little German with a little Mexican. Man this brat was spicy just like they said. It was spicerrific. Napkins was more sparse than tables, so I wound up with mustard all over me. But it was slap your mammy good!

We consumed our vittles on a picnic table out in the Box Garden music venue. When I was growed up, a picnic table was fine dining.

Once we finished, the 8 Tracks Band started playing their list of 70's and 80's rock block busters. We tapped our feet, rocked our heads, squealed, kept time with the beat by clapping, overall rocked out and occasionally sang a few lyrics. This is the 3rd time we have seen them and they do a really good job.

Overall, givem Legacy Hall and Degenhardt's a 8.34864854.
