The Saturday Dining Conspiracy: February, 2011

February 5, 2011: Maggiores.

Maggiores
1420 Cypress Creek Road, #1000 (Cedar Park, 78613).
291-6065
30.481969° N, 97.830644° W

Pepper grinder rating: 0
Men's room rating: 2.

Dwight's comments:

Basically a sports bar, with decent pizza and middling wings. Not really a place to go for good pizza, but as a neighborhood hangout, I'd say it seems okay.

Lawrence's comments:

More a sports bar than a proper restaurant, but I sort of like it. The pizza is on the greasy side, but pretty good for all that, and the cheese fries are both tasty and a bargain for the size you get. Wings were only passable.

I wouldn't drive past Reale's or Brooklyn Heights to get here, but if you live in Cedar Park it's probably worth a visit.

February 12, 2011: Pho ThaiSon.

Pho ThaiSon

Dwight's comments:

Yet another generic pho place. I appreciate the fact that it is right around the corner, but there's still not much there that motivates me to go.

Lawrence's comments:

This is an OK pho place, but the name lead me to believe there would be more Thai dishes than there were (I particularly missed the Tom Kha Gai). Also missing were any group appetizers, and they were out of both ribs and wings. Both the eggrolls and spring rolls were credible. My pork bun was fine, but slightly more expensive than you would get at other Pho places.

I wouldn't mind a revisit, but there's nothing I had that made it stand out from other Pho choices.

February 19, 2011: Granzins BBQ.

954 West San Antonio Street, (New Braunfels, 78130).
(830) 629-6615

Pepper grinder rating: 0
Men's room rating: 2.

Dwight's comments:

Pretty much just okay barbecue. I'd put it at the same level as Rudy's. Which raises the question: if you aren't already in New Braunfels, why go? To which I don't have a good answer.
