Restaurant Review: Bob's Waffle Shack

We went to lunch at a new restaurant today. Well, new to us, not sure how new it really is. Bob's Waffle Shack is here in Abilene on North 1st, near the Westwood Twin Theatre.

Bob's Waffle Shack is a little diner open from 6 am to 2 pm and serves breakfast and lunch. We each had the waffle with eggs and bacon. The waffles are huge! Each one easily took up a whole plate and they were good... oh boy were they good! The eggs and bacon were yummy as well.

The services was great and the food came out fast. Not only was it yummy and fast, but it well priced too. We spent about the same amount as we would at a fast food place, but got waited on and served freshly cooked food!

We will definitely be going back and I recommend anyone in the area give it a shot!

Restaurant Review: Little Italy

Little Italy is a locally-owned Italian restaurant located on South 14th next to the Abilene Public Library. They are moderately priced with dishes ranging from $7 to $15. They are open for lunch and dinner. They serve a variety of traditional italian plates as well as pizza and some sandwiches. They also have a small, but nice salad bar.

We've been going to Little Italy for years now. The pasta dishes are made in a more traditional style than you might find at other restaurants, and the pizzas are made with a special crust that is to die for. Each table is served fresh rolls with dipping oil.

 The staff is friendly and helpful and they often have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. The atmosphere is great for business meals and dates. They have space for large tables, families, and couples. They have some tables set aside behind wicker gates that provide extra privacy perfect for anniversaries and other special occasions.

My recommendations:

• Manicotti (Philip's favorite)
• Personal Pizzas (what we usually get at lunch)
• Fettucini Alfredo (an oil based Alfredo which is lighter than cream-based sauces)
• Chicken Parmesan (classic and amazing)
