The Brick Oven- St. George Utah

1410 E. St George Blvd
10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. - Mon – Thursday
10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. - Friday  - Saturday

My husband, grandson and myself went to the Brick Oven in St. George Utah yesterday and found that it was better than the first time I went there. I have to say though that the first time I went there was shortly after they opened and this was the first time I have been back, all thanks to the Dixie Direct Card.

As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted and seated promptly. The first thing I noticed was that they weren't a regular pizza joint. The decor was awesome.! I even told my husband that I liked the decor more than Olive Garden. It has a homey fill to it. 

My husband ordered the Calzone and was pleased with it. He is pretty picky about his food, so I was glad they had things on the menu that was good for him.The Calzone was loaded with hot cheese and pepperoni. The cheese flowed out of the Calzone as you would expect it to.  We ordered the side salad that came with it for myself. I recently ate breakfast, so I chose not to order anything today. The only negative and it was entirely my own fault is that I should have ordered the dressing on the side like I normally do. I wasn't pleased with the dressing, but that is only because I'm not much of a person for dressing on my salads.  

My grandson JJ ordered the Chicken Nuggets with Mandarin Oranges... They offered a generous serving to JJ and we had to take them home with us. He loved the Mandarin Oranges... He was happier with them than anything else. His meal also came with garlic bread and a child's drink. They made their own root beer and he was very happy with it. He ended his meal with one of their big lollipops.  They offer a birthday club for the children which is awesome... I know my grandson loves getting his birthday cards in the mail that is addressed to him.

I am going to at some point do a followup review of the Soup and Salad Bar when I go there next unless someone wants to give me a gift certificate (hint to my niece,lol). It would be nice to see how they do for dinner that includes the pizza and salad bar since that is what they are known for.

Over All Experience:  JJ says it is a Thumbs Up

Service: Very Good- Our waitress was there to refill and friendly

Price: The lunches are very reasonable and they have a lunch special that is $5.99. That is for the Soup, Salad and Bread sticks...

Cleanliness: Very Clean
Atmosphere:  I really enjoyed the atmosphere and it was very relaxed.

There was one negative for both my husband and I and that is that they offer coke products. They do offer alternatives such as root beer, tea and water.

Applebee's was our choice of family dinner last night. We got there around 7:20 pm and it was pretty full but we didnt have to wait to be seated which was nice. We all decided on our orders and put them in.

Scott had the Southwest Jalapeño Burger. It had candied jalapeños and chipolte mayo on it. He said it was really good and love the toasted bun it came with. I had the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger. It was good but the bun was a little over toasted for my liking. It was a good sized burger and I will order it again.

The kids all had kids meals. Scotti had the 2 cheeseburger meal with french fries. We asked them to add bacon his burgers and they did graciously. Zuriah had the grilled cheese with french fries. She really had a good time eating those yummy fries. She liked her sandwich too. JayAnna also got a kids meal which was good for her. She had the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese which she ate all of.

We decided to order dessert which was a chore in itself trying to find a dessert for the family. WE had to hunt down someone to give us a dessert menu. We finally decided on the Triple Chocolate Meltdown. Meltdown is a good name for this dessert. It has 3 different chocolate on/in it. It is a warm chocolate cake with hot fudge, white chocolate and chocolate drizzled over it and the ice cream.

We also decided on the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae. it is suppose to a warm cokie with ice cream and chocolate drizzle and whipped cream on it. Ours didnt quite match the description as our cookie was not that warm and very hard to cut through to eat it.

It was a good dinner but as people were leaving the service got a lax and it was hard to find our server to get a to go box or even to ask a question.


Cleanliness: It was clean and no issues
Customer Service: Food was good, service was laxing and could have been improved upon
Atmosphere: Busy but good
Price: Moderately Priced and have some good deals
Beverages Available:  They offer Pepsi Products and do have a bar...

Overall Experience: 

All in all it was good food and atmosphere. The service could have a been better and a little more friendly. Note: This review has a thumb sup for food and a thumbs down for service.

Samurai 21- St. George, Utah

Samurai 21 Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi, Saint George, Utah



Tonight we decided to go to Samurai 21 in St. George, Utah for my daughter Rebeckiah's birthday. We have gone here a number of times and she really likes it and we have always had great service. However this time was different!

We arrived around 4:30pm for dinner. There was 4 adults and 3 children in our group. I did order one kids mealfor the children at because they don't really aren't fond of Samurai 21. I was thinking they may take a bite or two of rice. I paid for my daughters meal and Bridgette and Craig paid for their own... There is a reason I am bringing this up, so please read on...

We sat down and ordered our drinks and food. I ordered a Diet Pepsi, yay for Pepsi products and my brother-in -law had Diet Pepsi as well. Everyone else had water.

We placed our orders which ranged from $15.50-$17.50 per person... The price includes salad, soup, and rice and if you want fried rice or noodles it is slightly more, or should I say it use to be slightly more... I had the steak and scallop combo and as far as the food goes the flavor was really good. My scallops were fried beyond recognition however. They had alot of sauce and was overcooked, which made them somewhat rubbery. Everyone else seemed to be happy with the food, except my grandsons, who doesn't like this type of food as I stated earlier. We chose to eat at the Hibachi? You get your own chef, right at your table... He cooks your entrée and entertains you with spatula tossing and pyrotechnics. My grandsons were happy with this except for the fires. This did scare them or should I say, it scared JJ more than anyone. He hid under his jacket the entire dinner and cried.

Something must have changed with Samurai 21 since the last time I was there. Usually it is alot of fun and we come out knowing we got our moneys worth. We were to say the least very disappointed. I am not sure if they changed owners or what. But the people that worked there seemed very blah and didn't seem to enjoy being there. It was like they were going through the motions and that was about it.

I was extremely shocked when I got our bills. Please remember that 2 of the boys did not order dinner. I did order one kids meal at $6.95. They had water since they didn't like this type of food. But I got my check for just my daughter and I and it came to $62.00 and some change. They added an 18% gratuity on top of my bill. They did this for my niece Bridgette and my brother-in-law Craig. Their meals came to over $24.00 each in addition to the same 18% gratuity . I can understand when they say parties of over so many guests there is an automatic gratuity, but there were only 5 meals, of which we were charged over $100.00 after all was said and done and we had terrible service and the people seemed cold and didn't really care. There was actually only 3 meals that was with my party. There should have been no charges for the kids who didn't eat. We were shocked to see the price and if they didn't add the gratuity, there is no way their service or food would have even gotten that much. Normally I tip 20% for great service, they would not have even gotten 10%.

Over all Rating:

Service: The service was ok, but nothing to write home about
Cleanliness: Very Clean
Price: Watch out for hidden costs, can easily cost alot more than going to a really nice place.
Hours: They Open at 4:30 in the afternoon, not sure when they close.
Atmosphere: It was fun for adults, not advisable for toddlers. Not a kid friendly place.

Overall Experience: I use to love going here. Most of the people have changed since the last time I was there, the quality and quantity of food has decreased. I don't think this will be a place where I would recommend people to go to. I feel like I was cheated by the way they did the bill and took advantage. I was suppose to do a special visit for this place, not thinking I will now...

Quizno's Sunset Corner

This location is now closed...  

Was sad to see this one go...  

It wasn't to the fault of the management, however they got caught up in the closing of the corporate store closings... It was nice having Quiznos for the 5 months that it was there...

Yes! St. George, Utah has a Quiznos once again. Quiznos strives to make bold, toasty, delicious sub sandwiches to fill your tummy and not break the bank.

Today I went to the Quizno's located at 1901 N Bluff, St. George Utah. You will find it nestled next to the Bajio's and not far from Stadium 8.

As I entered the restaurant, the first thing I noticed was the happy faces on each employees face. I entered the order here line and after looking over the menu board, I decided on the new Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and had them add some sauce to it. That was because I like my Buffalo Chicken hot, I don't want a chicken that is going to threaten and not deliver. This sandwich was not a easy fight, but I won, when my eyes can water from a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, I can say it was AWESOME... It was not wimpy at all...



My grandson had the free, did you hear me "FREE" Kidz Meal... Just that alone made it all worthwhile and he enjoyed his ham and cheese sub with a chocolate chip cookie that had him licking his fingers. When you purchase one regularly priced meal, you get a Kidz Meal for FREE... Yep, I said FREE... I love that word... It just rolls off your tongue so well...

Quiznos is good, but this location is GREAT! Good food combined with terrific service makes this Quiznos exceptional! The store is very clean, and is extremely welcoming. When you walk through the door, they make sure to know that they want you there and you are family.

They do offer the $5.00 large subs and that is pretty nice... I only thought Subway did that, but I learned something new while sitting there. And anyone who has read my reviews also knows that I am not a coke drinker... So this is a major touch down for me... They have Pepsi products... OH YEAH!

Some of the things you will find on their menu is delicious soups. I would recommend the Broccoli Cheddar. They also have Sammies, Bullets, Torpedo's, Salads and various sizes of gourmet subs and menu items that are under 500 calories... You will also find many variety of chips, cookies and other drinks available in their cooler. If you like cookies, you should try them heated up... They taste like they came right out of the oven, delicious.

On Mondays it will be family night and they will be offering family friendly movies and activities... It will begin at 6:00pm...

Cleanliness- Very Clean
Atmosphere- I really liked it there. It was laid back and casual. Not fast paced and stressed out.

Overall Experience: I am happy to see that there is another choice for subs in St. George. They offer catering and they are willing to go out of their way to make their customers happy. I will personally be going back again, and since kids eat free, it will be a cost effective choice for me and serving Pepsi is a major plus.

Olive Garden- St. George Utah

Today my daughter Jessica, my grandson JJ and I went to the Olive Garden for lunch. We went to the only location in Washington County and that is 1340 E 170 S, St George. It is located across from Wingers and Cattycorner from Applebee’s. It also shares the parking lot with Target. I wasn’t feeling so great, so this is more of a review from my grandson’s and daughter’s perspective.

First of all I want to say how nice it is to have an Olive Garden finally in St. George. When we moved here from Arizona, this is the place that we missed the most and for a good reason. They have yummy breadsticks, soups and salads. Their pasta and meat dishes we have found for the most part are excellent.

When we first entered the restaurant, the door was opened for us and we were greeted with a smile from the gentleman at the door and we were immediately seated. For the most part the service was good. It was a bit slower then usual. We had to wait to get our drinks ordered. Once we got our drinks ordered and our food ordered. The soup came out first and then not too soon after that, the main course. I wish they would have waited until we had our soup eaten. There isn’t much room on the table for all the food and it gets in the way. Overall, the service was ok like I said, just not what it usually is when it comes to the waitress. But the food was awesome as always.


Today I ordered the Ravioli di Portobello. If you love Portobello Mushrooms you will love this Portobello mushroom-filled ravioli in a creamy smoked cheese and sun-dried tomato sauce. This is one of those dishes that are very easy to eat and you don’t feel like you have over eaten. It’s just the right amount of food and you will have some to take home. Each of the raviolis’ is stuffed with more then enough Portobello Mushrooms. The cost of this dish is $10.95. This dish is topped with green onions and finely diced tomatoes. Enjoy their freshly baked garlic breadsticks and your choice of homemade soup or garden-fresh salad with any entrée. I always go with my favorite and chose the Zuppa Tascano Soup. You will find a good amount of sausage, kale, potatoes, onions and other spices to add life to this wonderful soup. I could go to Olive Garden just for the soup and be completely content.
My daughter Jessica ordered the Tour of Italy. She was very pleased with her selection and had plenty to take home. Here selection came with homemade lasagna, lightly breaded chicken parmigiana and creamy fettuccine alfredo. I think her favorite must have been the chicken parmigiana. That was the first thing she dug into and was gone. The rest came home with us and my niece had a great lunch for after school. Although I’m not sure how it can be homemade if it is made in a restaurant. The cost of her meal was $14.95. She did have a coupon for $4.00 off a dinner entrée. She found her coupon in the Sunday newspaper.

Now, for the most important person in our dinner party, let me introduce my grandson JJ. JJ ordered Spaghetti and had a good time eating my raviolis. He loved it… As you can tell by the look on his face, he was having a good time with each noodle. He loved the soup too and he even took a few bites out of a Black Tie Mousse Cake.

Location- 1340 E 170 S, St George
Service- OK, Not Great Though
Speed– Started off Slow, but got faster

Atmosphere- We love the atmosphere at Olive Garden

Final Thought: If you are a tea drinker, then you should try the Peach Bellini. It is very good. I didn’t have it today, but 9 times out of 10 I order this drink since they serve Coke Products. I must warn you that it is sweet enough without adding sugar. I made that mistake the first time, yuck and double yuck.

Red Robin Hamburgers- Washington Utah

On Friday my friends Jen, her husband, her mom Donna and her cute little baby Zuriah went out to Red Robin. We chose Red Robin for a couple of reasons: 1. We needed to discuss business and 2. To have a good lunch... Both were accomplished... Scott and Jen helped out with the review and I would like to thank them for their input and their company.

Red Robin is located in the Cotton Mill Shopping Center by Kohl's, facing Telegraph (Red Cliffs Drive), directly across from Home Depot and Wal-Mart.

When we first arrived at Red Robin we were greeted very fast and seated. The first thing you will notice when you arrive at Red Robin of Washington Utah, is that is it very family friendly. They will embarrass your friends or family member when it is their birthday as well. Expectations are mostly fulfilled. Decor is as one would expect--shiny, clean, kid-friendly.

I ordered the All Natural Burger- It comes with your choice of fresh fruit (cantaloupe) or bottomless fries, pickles, tomatoes and I ordered jalapeno peppers for the side. I do wish they offered cottage cheese as an option, but they don't so I won't carry on about that one, lol. I also had water to drink. But they do offer Pepsi products, which is good. Overall, I was pleased with my selection.


Scott's A-1 peppercorn burger with jalapeno's added.

Good balance of taste. One bite of heat the next bite smooth and cool and back and forth.
Meat had good texture and was cooked to order, special order was correct and abundant.
Good presentation and speed of service.
Fun plating and design.
Groovy Smoothie was delicious and inviting. Smoothie was a wonderful blend of taste. Glass was fun and decorative.

If you like the heat of a good pepper ask for jalapenos to be added and ask for extra if you really like the heat.


Jenn's Gourmet Cheeseburger.

Meat had good texture and was cooked to order.
Bun was toasted and light.
Plating was fun and accessible.
Good presentation and speed of service.
Ordered a Dr. Pepper. Was asked if I wanted a refill a couple of times and was grateful for the attention.

Bottomless refills on most drinks. A real crowd pleaser for those who like to sit and chat after your meal is the bottomless french fries. As long as you want to sit and relax they will ask you if you want more fries or drinks.

They have a No-rush attitude if their customer wants to relax while eating, which is a good idea for those impromptu lunch meetings.

As you enter the restaurant they greet you with a smile. If there happens to be a small wait they have seating along the windows with a TV in the floor and a small arcade for the kids. They try to seat you to best fit your needs and they do it quickly.

As you leave they send you off with a smile, a balloon for the kids (if they want), a thank you and a please come again. They always ask how was your food and love to hear your comments.

Since your waiter/waitress is your cashier there is no need to wait in line to pay. In your check there should be a comment card. If you fill it out you can receive emails from them possibly for coupons for your next visit.

Price: moderate. you get what you pay for- Average Price is $8.00 on up....
Atmosphere: good
Speed of Service: good even on busy days.
cleaniness: good

Hours of Operation and Location:

640 W Telegraph St
Washington, UT 84780
Sun-Thurs: 11a-10p; Fri-Sat: 11a-11p

Final Thought: This is a fun place to go with the family and they have good food. It isn't cheap, but if you want cheap go to McDonald's.

Made in Brazil Brazilian Steakhouse- St. George, Utah

My brother in law and I were thinking about going out to dinner last night. Since we had the Dixie Direct Card we decided it was a good time to try something different. Since a number of people have asked me to do a review on the Brazilian Steakhouse, we decided the time was now… So off we go wondering what to expect. We have never had Brazilian food before and this was something different for sure.

The Made in Brazil Brazilian Steakhouse located in the Phoenix Plaza on Bluff and Sunset. The exact address is 929 West Sunset Blvd. The Brazilian Steakhouse is not your ordinary steak house. At some restaurants, by the time you get to eat your cut of meat, the meat has a tendency to fail to deliver the right amount of flavor and may not be hot. That is not the case here.

The giant skewers of meat are rotisserie-cooked meat The giant skewers of meat are rotisserie-cooked meat; all cooked over a mesquite charcoal pit. they are carved and served directly from fire to your plate.; they are carved and served directly from fire to your plate.

We started out with the salad bar, which I loved. They had a good variety to choose from. You will find some interesting and tasty choices. I really enjoyed the black beans with beef. It had a very pleasing flavor to them.
Guests of Made in Brazil, Brazilian Steakhouse will use a wooden cue to let the servers know when they are ready for the next skewer of meat. Place the green side up, and the servers will continue to bring skewers to you. Place the cue on the red side when you are too full to eat another bite! This makes it nice to set your own pace and relax.

When you are finished eating and had your fill, turn the cue to the flat side to let the waiter/waitress staff will then bring your check.

A bit of advice -- Try a little at a time or you will run out of room before you have gotten a chance to try all the varieties of meat. I was so full, I didn't get to try them all. And don’t forget to turn the wooden cue over of they will keep feeding you and you will need to loosen that belt.

Some of the Meats Offered Are:


* Prime Rib
* Ham- My Favorite
* Chicken wrapped in bacon
* Tenderloin w/garlic
* Top Sirloin
* Lamb
* Chicken
* Pork Sausage
* Pork Loin
* Chicken hearts upon request (Dinner Only)
* Pineapples


More Information: Lunches are priced at $11.99 , kids 5-11 are $5.99 and Dinner is $18.99, kids 5-11 are 9.99 .... If you have the Dixie Direct Card, they offer a buy one get one free. But if you go for dinner, they will discount your bill for the $11.99. They also offer more meats on the dinner menu, its is a meat lovers delight, lol. They serve Pepsi products and have a variety of other choices as well like limeades and alcoholic drinks. We didn't have any dessert, but they looked yummy.I was too full after we ate to get desserts.

There are many, many options, check out The Phone Book for more information and menu items. You can find it on page 788.

The loss of her husband was and is devastating to her family. he ws uninsured and was on disability due to his medical problems. He will be deeply missed by his daughters and Char. My thoughts and prayers go out to her. She has a long road ahead of her. I know that God will be looking out for them and she will be ok. But if you don't have any plans for Saturday, February 21st, come over to Lins and have a great breakfast and at the same time, you can help out a family in need.

Rickshaw Asian Gourmet- St. George Utah

Rickshaws Has Gone Out of Business... 

Tonight we went to Rickshaw Asian Gourmet on 1973 W Sunset Blvd, St. George, Utah. Its located in the Albertson's Plaza on Sunset across from Lin's Marketplace... This is one of those mixed reviews. But for the most part it is a thumbs up.

All of the entrees come with your choice of soup or salad, your choice of steamed rice, organic Malaysian brown rice, fried rice or veggie-lo-mein (soft noodles).

I ordered the Spicy Volcano Chicken (Hunan).It was priced at $6.99. There is a warning on there that says, " A Spicy lover's special, we dare you to try it. OK... I am all up for a dare. So I tried it and while it was good and easy to eat. It wasn't hot. It had good flavor and all. With my order it came with egg drop soup, which was the easiest for me, Malaysian brown rice and one of those cookies that has an almond on it. I didn't eat the cookie, but then I never do, so I didn't include this in my review. My fortune that was in the fortune cookie was something like "Don't Disappoint others that look up to you". I got no, you will meet a tall dark and handsome stranger. But then I don't need to do that since I have my husband who is tall, dark and somewhat of a stranger, lol Or should I say strange :) And lets hear it for a drum roll. THEY SERVE PEPSI PRODUCTS... YAY and I ordered a Diet Pepsi.

My brother in law ordered the Sesame Chicken (Shanghai). That was also priced at $6.99. He had the fried rice, which he liked better then mine. But I thought I would go with something easy to eat and digest... He enjoyed his dinner.

My niece ordered the Orange Chicken(Canton), it was priced at $5.99. She ordered the noodles rather then the rice. The noodles was OK, but they weren't for me.



Some of the other foods they offer is:

Vegetarian Egg Rolls, Fantail Prawns, Pot Stickers, Beef Skewers, BB Pork, Ceder Smoked Chicken salad, Lettuce Wrap, Fresh Garden Salads, Mango Shrimp, Basil Fowl, Mandarin Pork, Teriyaki Chicken and Bowls, Coconut Curry, Yu-Shang Chicken, Walnut Shrimp and alot of other things. They also have a decent vegetarian selection. And of course they have Pepsi Products...

One of the things I dislike about this place is how they will bring orders out one at a time. Someone in your party will get their order, and the others will have to wait. I personally think that they should bring the orders out when the entire party's orders are finished.

Sandie's Rating System:

Product Quality- Very Good
Price- Reasonable - Ranging from $1.99-$9.99
Location- 1973 W Sunset Blvd #F, St. George, Utah
Service- For the most good- Should bring orders out together
Speed – Pretty Fast
Cleanliness- Very Good
Atmosphere- Easy going and relaxing

Final Thought- They have a children's menu, but they only offer Chicken Fingers for that with sweet and sour sauce and a kids drink. And there is no MSG in their food, and they deliver within a 3 mile radius.

Hours of Operation:

Mon-Thurs: 11am-9:30 pm

Next Review-

Burger King "Angry Whopper"- St. George, Utah

This review is for Burger King, or should I say the quote unquote Angry Whopper. The location of the Burger King I went to was 1185 S Main St, St George, UT.


I don’t have cravings for Burger King very often, but last week was different, I had a huge Whopper craving last week and I gave in and purchased the Angry Whopper. My curiosity has been fulfilled and I no longer crave this burger. With the name Angry Whopper, you would expect this burger to be one really hot, where the tears run down your face. Even though it had jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, spicy onion rings, and a spicy Angry Sauce, the Angry Whopper is far from being angry. The angry onions look like they are just cut up onions rings. It was on the side of a cat running with its tails between its legs.

You might want to think about the calories and fat in this burger. It contains over 880 calories, and that doesn’t include the fries. The total fat is over 55 grams, saturated fat is 18 grams, Sodium is 1670 grams, carbohydrates are 59 grams and Tran’s fat is 2 grams. I can’t even think about what the nutritional facts would be for the double and triple patties. Wow, that makes me want to not think about eating that. I wonder how many miles or workout hours I would need to get rid of those calories. Oh, and if you get the fries for the Combo Meal, add an additional 359 calories, 20 grams of fat, 592 grams of sodium, and 41 grams of Carbohydrates for a medium order of fries… You better drink water or a diet soda in order to not add more… Or go all out and order a Coke product. I guess sometimes looking at nutritional facts is not a good thing, or maybe it is a preventative. I guess it depends on how you look at it, lol.
I thought the flavor was good. But nowhere close to being how they described it on the commercials. I was disappointed that it wasn’t hot. To me, when you mix the sauce, with the pickled Jalapeño’s, you get zip. When I order jalapenos, I want to be able to taste them. I did ask the guy in the window about the heat of the burger. When I looked at what was inside this burger, I found three very small jalapeno’s… What is up with that? And he said that all depends on what you are expecting. Well… I am expecting it to be HOT or ANGRY as the commercial says.

I am glad I tried it… I don’t go there very often… But now I know if I want to taste a burger that is hot, the closest so far is Sonic or Wendy’s. They use real jalapeños, not pickled ones. Another alternative is the volcano sauce at taco bell. At least there is a bite to that.

Sandie's Rating System:

Product Quality- Good but not as described
Price- Reasonable- $3.79 for the single meat, not the combo price
Location- Main Street next to Denny’s
Service- Very Good Service
Speed – Fast
Cleanliness- Went through the drive through
Atmosphere- Didn’t go inside, but if you go inside, it is casual

Final Thought- If you want something spicy and hot, this is not for you. But otherwise it was a good hamburger with a bit of a different flavor. I found the service was good, and the guy at the driver thru window was pleasant and fast.

P.S. Nutritional Facts were found on Burger Kings very own website.

We went to Pirate Island Pizza a few times. Pirate Island is located in the Sunset Corner on Sunset and Bluff. Its kinda weird to get too. But if you know where the Stadium 8 is and the Egg and I. The Pirate Island is at the far round about with the tallest clock tower. If you look for that, you will find it there.

At first I thought this was going to be something like a Chucky Cheese. If you haven't been to one. It is a place where they have huge arcades, animated shows and all kinds of things. But Pirates Island isn't like that. Personally I like that though. There is something for everyone and the service is good.

My husband ordered the 14 inch pizza and shared it with my brother in law. It was plenty for both of them. I ordered the build your own pasta with mushrooms and artichoke hearts and Alfredo sauce. It was very good and there was plenty of food. They did offer bread sticks with the order. But I wasn't fond of them, so I passed them on to my husband and he didn't like it either. For the three of us, we spent about $30.00. The food has a Caribbean feel to it. It was nice to have something different. They offer Coke products, Dr Pepper and Ice Tea. Each table comes with home made potato chips. They are pretty good. I do wonder about all the calories in them though, lol


The decor is really cool. You get the feel that you are in a ship. It has water falls and skeletons, pirates and all kinds of interesting twists and turns. You are greeted with pirates and parrots as you enter the restaurant. Pretty Kewl as my grandsons would say :)

I took my grandsons here for my youngest grandsons birthday. They loved it and had a great time in the arcade and play area. I was expecting the arcade to be much bigger. But I guess that's OK. I must warn you though. It is a bit dark in there. and where we had the party at, it was hard to read the menu. So if you have a hard time seeing, you might want to eat downstairs or wait for a place. A plus is that if you are having a party, you can bring your own cake and balloons. They don't offer them there. But you can order yours at Lin's Marketplace at 1930 W Sunset and there is a Grandma Toblers in the same shopping area. But I only paid 20.99 for the cake with cool pirate themes. My grandson loved it. I'm not sure what Grandma Toblers charges though. Saturdays are also pretty busy. But overall it was good and we would go back there.

For all of you who like to save, you can find coupons from anything from free tokens,buy one get one free, 50% off lunch in the The Phone Book- St. George Area. I am sure all have gotten your new one. They have left them at the door steps already. But the coupons are in the back of the book.

Sandie's Rating System:

Product Quality- Very Good
Price- Very Reasonable
Location- Sunset Corner on Sunset and Bluff
Service- Very Good Service
Speed - Good
Cleanliness- Excellent
Atmosphere- Excellent and Different

Final Thought- This is a fun place to check out. You can go with your kids or without. They have something for everyone.

P.S. The gift shop is kinda lame. And the exit makes you go right through the gift show which is bad if you want to get out of there without junk souvenirs for your kids/grand kids
