may restaurant review

This month Matt and I tried Mastergrill. Since I have really been into coupons lately, it just kills me to go out to eat and not have a coupon. I was rummaging through our coupons and found a "Buy One Entree Get One Entree Free" coupon to the Mastergrill at the Firewheel Mall. Matt was super excited to go to this restaurant.

Mastergrill is very similar to Texas de Brazil except on a way cheaper scale. Entrees are about $50 a person at Texas de Brazil where at Mastergrill they are $25. ($22 on Sunday)

Our waitress said that the meal was a two step process. You start off with the Salad Bar and when you are ready for meat you turn over your Yes/No card. When your card says Yes, they bring you meat.

There were a ton of yummy things on the Salad Bar. I had some potatoes, salad, shrimp cocktail, tomatoes with mozzarella and basil, all sorts of cheeses. There was a lot more, but I couldn't eat it all.

When we flipped over our card, these "gauchos" started bring us meat.

This was definitely Matt's favorite part. I think we tried almost all of the 25 different kinds of meats. I wasn't a fan of much of the beef. I have never really liked steak. It all just tastes like rubber to me. Matt thought it was all pretty good though. His favorite meat was the Top Sirloin, and mine was the barbecue chicken or the chicken wrapped in bacon.

But our absolute favorite thing the gauchos brought out was Roasted Cinnamon Pineapple. It was to die for. It was warm and juicy and so tasteful. Mmmmm....I really want to find a recipe for it.

For dessert they brought out fried bananas that were coated with cinnamon sugar. They were so delicious.

2 Entrees ($22 for Sunday Price)

april restaurant review

Matt and I decided to go to The Shops at Legacy for our new "Restaurant of the Month."  We knew there were a lot of restaurants and figured that we would be able to find one.  

Seafood sounded good, so we decided to eat at Half Shells.  It looked like a casual and not to expensive restaurant.  As soon as we walked in, the place looked familiar.  Then we took a look at the and realized that we had been to the same restaurant but with a different name.  Oops!!

Fish City at the Firewheel Town Center. 

We drove all the way to Frisco to go to a restaurant that we had already been to been too and one that is 10 minutes away from us.  

So I don't have a new restaurant to review since we technically didn't go to a new restaurant. 

We'll have to go to a good one in May.

I'm going to make this one short and sweet, because I didn't quite care for this one. 

We went to Esteban's on Saturday. 

Chicken, Beef, & Shrimp Fajitas

Rice & Beans, Guacamole and Mango Pico
Jalepeno Ranch (that tasted like mayonnaise, with a little bit of jalepeno taste)
Cheese and Sour Cream ( I mention this because they charged us $1.25 for each one....Ridiculous)
2 Drinks

Price: $32

We give Esteban's........TWO THUMBS DOWN. 

February Restaurant Review

This month Matt and I tried out Avocado California Roll & Sushi in Garland at the Firewheel Towncenter.  We had some wonderful Sushi on our honeymoon and I was really craving some tonight.  My little brother had been to Avocado and said it was really good so we decided to try it out.  

We ordered edamame for an appetizer. When we ordered it, the waitress said, "You know your first order of edamame is free, right?"  We didn't, but we gladly took our free edamame.  Mmmmm.....my favorite.

Then we split 3 different kinds of Sushi.  The menu had a detailed description and a picture of each roll.  That really helped us make our decisions.  The pictures I posted here are from their website.   They are also the same pictures that were on the menu.  

 

  

California Roll

You can never go wrong with a California Roll.  We both loved this one!

Sun of Philadelphia 

I really wanted to like the Salmon on top, but the slimy/mushy texture was not cool, but the rest was good.  

New York, New York

This picture does not do this roll justice.  It was our favorite.  It had crab meat, avocado, cucumber and fried shrimp.  Yummy!!

January Restaurant Review

Matt and I decided this weekend that we are going to try a new restaurant each month.  We've been told that it is so important to continue to go on dates, even after your married.  So this is one time of the month that we will always have a date planned.  

This month we went to Chiloso in Wylie.  I had heard great things about it from a friend that I work with.  She said it is just like Chipotle but better.  Matt and I love Chipotle, so we were excited to try it out.  

Matt:  Beef Burrito  & a soft drink(rice, beans, beef, salsa, jack cheese, tomatoes in a giant tortilla)

Katy:  Burrito Bowl & water (rice, beans, chicken, salsa, queso and corn salsa)

On the side: Chips & Jalapeno Ranch

Price: $17.00

The Jalapeno Ranch was wonderful.  I will be trying to find a recipe to make some of that.  Matt absolutely love chips and ranch.  But overall....

We give Chiloso.....TWO THUMBS DOWN.  

Leave a comment if you know of a great restaurant that you think we should try!!

**Update: After my funny husband read this post, he said,"Chiloso...more like Chigrosso."  

I couldn't agree more!!!
