The idea of Wonder is great, small menus from multiple restaurants that give a good variety. If you want dinner, but no one can agree on what they feel like, it's great to be able to cater to what each person wants.
We've been twice, the first time was last Saturday (5/2) and we placed a takeout order. We were generally very happy with the food and the prices.
The Onion Rings from Mainstay were awesome.
The Vodka Pizza from Alanza was fine, we'll try the other pizza place.
The Pork Ribs and Coleslaw from Tejas were good
The Garlic Fries from Fred's Meat & Bread were awesome.
The Creamed Spinach from Bobby Flay Steak wasn't really what we expected so meh.
The Cheesy Garlic Bread from Detroit Brick Pizza was good but needed more garlic.
The second time we went was last night (5/5). Instead of going to Chipotle, we decided to try a burrito and cheese quesadilla from LimeSalt. Frankly...it was bad and they don't seem to actually use lime or salt in any of their food.
I'm not sure how they managed to get the cheese to melt in the quesadilla because the tortilla was completely uncooked. It had almost no toasting on it. It was rubbery and inedible. And it had absolutely no flavor.
The burrito (carnitas, white rice, black beans, fajita veg, corn salsa, red chile salsa, sour cream, cheese and lettuce) wasn't much better. The carnitas were good but everything else had absolutely no flavor at all.
Also, we tried the queso and chips from all three restaurants that had it- Limesalt, Tejas and El Diaz. We figured that, logistically, it would make sense for them all to use the same queso and chips. If they don't, then great, but if they did then we like queso so if it's all the same and good when we're still fine.
They use the exact same queso and chips for all three restaurants. It was good so it's fine, but the pricing made no sense. Limesalt and El Diaz serve the exact same quantity of queso and chips - a small cup of queso and a silver bag of chips. For some reason, Limesalt charged $4.95 and El Diaz charged $3. For the exact same thing, literally identical.
Tejas also had the same chips and queso but they provided a lot more queso and they charged $6.95.
Limesalt and El Diaz do not provide enough queso for the number of chips they give. If you want chips and queso, get it from Tejas.
We also got the Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding and the Four & Twenty Blackbirds Lemon Chess Pie. We haven't eaten the banana pudding yet as it comes frozen and is meant to be thawed for 2-3 hours in the fridge. If it's good, it might be worth the $9.45 price as it's in a large pint container. The Lemon Chess pie was good and the $5.45 price was reasonable.
We'll definitely be back to try other stuff but will likely never buy anything from Limesalt again. read more
