Wanting wings, I ordered the Garlic Parmesan and tots. They offer grilled or fried and I thought I ordered fried but these tasted more like grilled. I was wanting that fried crunch but got more of a well cooked bite with a creamy garlic white sauce, then sprinkled with Parmesan. It was still good but when you're expecting crunch, it's slightly disappointing. Still a good wing but I wouldn't put it in the top 5. The tots, now they made up for the crunch. The Blue Cheese was exactly what I like, sweeter with a little funk. Maybe I should've specified fried. Wings are an indulgence to me. I don't want the healthy version. I want that crunchy-Lipitor sponsored-defibrillator on stand by-I can see my blood flowing-We'll start the diet Monday goodness that only a perfectly fried wing can offer. Still good tho.

I originally ordered food from another spot in East Market, but recalled seeing a TikTok about the…read morechicken Parmesan at Urban Gourmet, so I had to give it a try. No exaggeration, this was one of the best chicken Parmesans I've ever had, and that includes versions from legit Italian restaurants. The chicken cutlet was super crispy and perfectly seasoned, with a coating that was flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The portion size was just right, not too big, not too small. I appreciated that the mozzarella on top was fresh and sliced, not the usual shredded kind. The sauces (yes, plural!) were rich and full of flavor, tying everything together beautifully. The only thing I think it was missing? Some garlic bread of some sort to go with it. That would've made it perfect. But honestly, it was still a fantastic dish on its own. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're anywhere near East Market. I'm already looking forward to going back and seeing what else is good on their menu.

The tomatoes on the burger were diced, not sliced. I've never had them that way, but it worked. The french fries were really just about perfect. They were as fresh as could be and had a subtle seasoning similar to Grippos chips, but more subdued. Lots of menu choices including vegetarian options.

The burger was juicy, flavorful, and honestly didn't need anything else added to it. The potato skins were also amazing. You know a potato is good when you don't even need ketchup, and these absolutely passed that test. I could eat them completely on their own. I came in hungry, so maybe that helped, but even after the hunger wore off I still stand by it: this was a REALLY good burger.

Stav's Diner We lost…read moreour go-to breakfast place earlier this year, "Th Grill and Skellet." We began looking for a new place on Tuesday at 9 am with a trip to Stav's Dinner. We are in the Eastmoor Area, so this was close. Stav's is a traditional dinner with some two-tops along the wall and the counter. There were two open tables, and we were seated right away. Our server was right there, asking about coffee or drinks and offering a menu. Coffee was served in a good-sized mug. I had a western omelet with hash browns, rye toast, and coffee. My wife had a mushroom omelet. Our food was out very quickly. Our meal was good but not extraordinary. If you are looking for a breakfast or lunch place on the Eastside, give these folks a try.

Well, it's big, but there are so many things on it that the one on the wall has tiny print and is hard to read. If you're older like me, you might want to pick up a paper menu. Which they have plenty of. Menu covers all the basics for breakfast and a lot of omelette options. I didn't look closely at the lunch side but there are some interesting choices there that I would've gotten if it weren't 8 AM. Service minimal but nice, friendly ordering and then they bring the food out to your table. I got biscuits and gravy, of course. Because I love them, and because I make really good ones at home. The sausage gravy is from a can probably, but decent. The biscuits were also industrial commercial types, but sturdy enough for gravy. You can get them with eggs which I did. We have our own chickens, so I am also judgy about eggs, the ovae themselves and the preparation style. I asked for over medium, and what I usually get is this, over easy. A little runnier than I like, but not bad. And they have hot sauce on the table, which I always appreciate. Price was very reasonable, speed was excellent. The place is nice enough and comfy. Handy on the corner with plenty of parking. Solid choice for a diner, nothing particularly special.

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.
