The Maple Grove Planning Commission recommended planned-unit development for the restaurant and, well, I want one in Richfield, too!
Each time I hop a plane to the southern United States, as soon as I set foot into the terminal I'm looking for a Chick-fil-A restaurant. I'm serious. It's become a tradition. The file photo for this article is an original. So, you can imagine my surprise when I read in fellow publication, Maple Grove Patch, that Chick-fil-A planned-unit development was recently recommended by the city's planning commission. Next stop, city council! However, truth be told, two weeks ago I discovered there would be one put into the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. "Oh, now I can eat some delicious waffle fries before take-off, throughout my trip and upon my return," I said to myself. "Living the dream." Prior to that, I heard rumors of a location on the …

I'm willing to bet the majority of corporations on the planet have used their name or profits to forward some agenda I don't completely agree with. I always find it amusing when the sheep unite. If we could harness all this energy for more important things - like, oh I don't know, feeding people who can't afford to be astonished that Chick-fil-a misused their proceeds, what a wonderful world this… more ›

The Sandy's Sizzler is awesome! I also love a california with pepper cheese and a slice of raw onion. If I'm really hungry, I also get a side of cheese curds with extra pickles and I eat them together. more ›

I was thinking more customer service for the rest of the companies in Richfield that don't fall under these categories. I would vote for Game Stop at the HUB, they are fantastic, always keep their cool even when there are an insane amount of kids and very friendly. :) more ›

Rojo Mexican Grill serves up fresh flavors in the kitchen and behind the bar.
Enchiladas. Tacos. Margaritas. Rojo Mexican Grill offers the Mexican flavors most would expect to find within its doors, but also showcases a few tweaks on popular favorites. This is perhaps most evident with the restaurant's strawberry jalapeno margarita, which combines jalapeno slices, tequila, Brazilian orange liqueur, strawberry puree and margarita mix to create a sweet and spicy drink. The experimentation is a hit with customers, as Assistant General Manager Weston Winkler said the strawberry jalapeno margarita is the second most popular drink at Rojo. Rojo's kitchen boasts a massive wood-fire grill, where the chicken, carne asada steak and other meats are cooked for fajitas, enchiladas and tacos. Sous Chef Mario Rojas said utilizing …

All these places have marvelous service, they wouldn't be in business were it otherwise. However, some have advantages over others. The food comes a little more quickly at Sandy's than either Champp's or Houlihan's, because it is mostly either burgers or fried food. But there are a lot of little things that go into a great service experience, such as refills of gratis items like soda, chips, and … more ›
