Wing Zone

Stepping in to place the order, it feels like a wing joint like none other, greeted with a smile and a crew member who was very patent with me. I placed my order and was told that it would take about 8-10 minutes for the order to be made ready. With that you know it’s made to order and you have some time to kill. I recommend browsing the game store the next door over. It was a small wait but ultimately worth it.

A burger that is, ½ a pound of beef, add cheese (50 cents), and add bacon ($1.00), what do you get? A burger and a side wedge fries that costs $8.50 and is worth every penny. All Wing Zone burgers are roughly the size of a C.D. and come cooked well done, with a side of wedge fries, and another box containing all of your condiments (lettuce, tomato, onions, ketchup, mustard, and mayo).  After some small assembly the burger is complete and you are hooked for the first bite, the burger tastes amazing, with a near perfect meat to bun ratio and you can actually taste the meat compared to other fast food restaurants. The fries that come with the burger are wedge form and complement the burger very well and taste excellent with a small kick from the spices. 

            Fault wise, the burger has a fresh taste but doesn’t look the part; the patty has more of a pre-made look and doesn’t look like it was made with fresh ground beef. If you add the condiments expect a different taste as the lettuce and onion overpower the burger and leads to a different experience that can lead to disappointment, as it just seems the condiments would make for a better salad then burger topping.

            Overall the combination of the burger and fries leads to a tasty lunch or dinner that will leave you full, but at $7.00 a burger and extra for the toppings the burger is expensive and would serve better as a once every two weeks or so type of meal. If I have to give a rating, I’d give it 4 out of 5. Good but lacking in that missing piece to make it great.

Marco's Pizza

I was skeptical at first with this pizza place, their phone system was terrible, the kid taking my order sounded snooty, and I had ask him multiple times to speak up and slow down. I did get a good deal I ordered their "x-tra large" cheese + 2 toppings, plus cheesy bread and a 2-liter. for $16.99. I have to say it was the first time ordering food in this area that it actually came to my door hot. The good news was I could actually taste the bacon on a pizza for once, but I could not for the life of me taste the sauce or the pepperoni, the cheese tasted excellent, and it actually did that stretch thing that some pizzas do when you take a slice out.  It looked nice and had a good taste, but like most pizzas the left overs did not microwave well. The bacon on the pizza was memorable but that is about it, the crust to hard the lack of sauce and the kid answering the phone brought it down for me.

Fairborn Dominoes

I guess I've been holding out on this, I've never quite been a fan of Dominoes but when they said they changed their recipe I figured I would give it a shot. I ordered up a medium pizza and some garlic bread, and some coke, it came to about $11 bucks and as per usual it would be about 30 minuets. So I sat down, watched a little TV, and figured I could eat this while I enjoy The Office. It came about 20 minuets latter, the delivery guy was nice and let me keep my coupon (its the small victories that count). I sat down and picked up two slices and some garlic bread, and notice that the bread came with a generous amount of Marinara Sauce (take that Pizza Hut).

     As I sat down and opened up a bottle of Coke. I took a bite, it wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold, and it was rather garlicky, the sauce was also spread a little thin in the center, and the pepperonis were rather disappointing. The bites I did get that were just cheese and sauce, well to say the least the sauce was fantastic, it just needs more of it next time.  Also, I would like to see less garlic on the crust, as the amount of garlic on the one I ordered was enough to slay about 5 or 6 vampires. I do have to say that this was the first time I've had a pizza that was improved by the microwave. All in all I may try them again, but if a second pizza comes like that, I guess I am a holdout again.
