Dining Out- Weekend of May 1st, 2005

A.J’s Café
Cudahy


Ham and Cheese Omelette

A very acceptable version stuffed with an abundance of ham. Average HBs.


Décor: Typical neighborhood place. And they had a counter!
Service: Very nice folks.

The Branded Steer
Oak Creek


Chicken Enchilada Soup

Forgive the comparison, but this tasted like, but was better than, a chicken enchilada. An intermediate level in both creaminess and density it packed a lot of flavor.


BBQ Rotisserie Chicken Club (1/2)
Shredded BBQ chicken, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and mayonnaise on Texas toast

This was my economical path to try their rotisserie while having fewer leftovers. Mission accomplished, the chicken was nice and soft with a great BBQ sauce. Lackluster fries.


Décor: Looks like a franchise’s attempt at the old west.
Service: Glad for her soup recommendation, but she said steak fries were the only side option when fruit and three bean salad were available.

Gyro King
Hales Corners


Gyro Sandwich

I love these and all about them- the pita, the meat and the tzatziki sauce. I’ve never come across a bad one and luckily some have character to climb to culinary heights. This one is in my top three. Besides the flavorful meat being very well seasoned they grill it on one side giving it a thin crispy skin. Soft and thick pita piled high with this meat and onions this was seriously good eats.
