txroz says "Pretty good BBQ" about Smokey Moe's BBQ - Round Rock, TX

txroz — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:29:58 GMT

There are several BBQ places in Round Rock, but I think Smokey Moe's it is a good one and has some of the best prices. They offer brisket, BBQ chicken, ribs, sausage, beans, potato salad and homemade desserts. The meat is always moist and never dry - the pork ribs are the best I must say. The prices are reasonable for "by the pound" or the plate. The staff is very welcoming and the atmoshpere is nice. When you walk in you are surrounded by red and white checked tableclothes on picnic tables. The service is quick and never a long wait. The location is good, there is plenty of seating and parking. They have a wonderful homemade peach cobbler and banana pudding. The desserts are a bit pricey for the size, but overall worth it. We do go to other BBQ places, but end up coming back to this one. It may be because of the coupons and specials they offer. I would remmond to anyone to try this place out.

txroz says "Good Mexican Food" about Casa Garcia's - Round Rock, TX

txroz — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:18:14 GMT

Casa Garcia's opened about a year ago. They have another location in a town close by that we had tried and was excited when we found out one was coming to our town. At first, they did not have their liqour license so no alcohol could be served. The service was horrible and they lost our order. We had already waited about 20 minutes so we ended up walking out. Well we decided to try them out again about 6 months later because we were meeting friends there. I am glad we did try them out again. The food was good and the margaritas were great! The service was much better than when they had first opened. They offer enchiladas, tacos and seafood. The restaurant that was originally there was a seafood restaurant and they incorporated that menu and they had really good food as well. The prices are okay, but the seafood menu is a bit more pricey. The parking is not that great and always full on the weekends. There is another parking lot adjacent that you can park in...

txroz says "Best Chinese food!" about Hunan Lion - Round Rock, TX

txroz — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:11:10 GMT

I must say the best Chinese restaurant in Round Rock, Tx is Hunan Lion. They offer a variety of dishes that are always fresh prepared daily. Any kind of dish with seafood, chicken pork or beef. The portions are very generous and the ingredients are always fresh. The atmosphere is good and the service is wonderful. They are very tentative to your needs and make you feel welcome. The staff is very polite and the owner personally comes around to the tables and welcomes the guests. It is in a good location and the parking is ample. They also offer take out and delivery with a minimum amount order. Delivery is always prompt and pickup is always ready when you get there. I have been dining at this restaurant since I moved to Round Rock in 1991 and I have never been disappointed. I have tried other restaurants and have been disappointed and have always come back to Hunan Lion - wouldn't go any place else.

txroz says "New York Pizza invades Texas" about Brooklyn Pie Company - Round Rock, TX

txroz — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:56:53 GMT

I must say I love my New York style pizza and found it pretty hard to find something comparable close by. We tried a little spot called Brooklyn Pie Company. When we walked, I thought I was back in New York! The smell, atmoshphere and food took me back. They offer any kind of combination of pizza you can imagine or come up with. The crust is very thin, and the flavor is authenic. The price is a little bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. They do offer "giant slices" during lunch hour. They have a great greek salad and caprese salad and offer Carnegie Deli NY cheesecake that is shipped in weekly and Baklava. The only problem I have is the location is not that great, but still is worth the drive. There is no where really to sit - only a few table tops and chairs. It is more of a call in and pick up place. You can also have it delivered, but delivery does take a little bit longer.

txroz says "Some of the best mexican food in Round Rock" about La Margarita - Round Rock, TX

txroz — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:45:19 GMT

La Margarita is a great Mexican food restaurant in Round Rock, TX. We started going to this restuarant when they were in a tiny little place on the other side of town. They feature homemade tortillas and you can watch them being made. They offer a wonderful mix of enchiladas, fajitas, chile rellanos and tacos. They have a wide selection of appertizers to choose from. They have great margaritas and mexican martinis. The only down side is the wait can be pretty long on Friday and Saturday nights. It can be anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and that is a long time when you have kids with you. On those busy nights, the service can be somewhat slow - food takes a little longer to come out and the service is not as great as it could be. They will, however; keep you full on chips and salsa until the food does come out. With all this being said, I would still recommend this restaurant because it is still worth the wait.

txroz says "Hyland's Colic Tablets a must have" about Hyland's Colic Tablets

txroz — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 13:59:13 GMT

This is one product that I used with all 3 of my boys. It was/is a life saver. All my boys had problems digesting milk based products and very gassy and fussy a lot of the time. I would give them a couple of Hyland's Colic Tablets and that would do the trick! ...

txroz says "Spend more money - get better monitor" about Fisher Price Sounds and Lights Monitor

txroz — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 13:55:47 GMT

Fisher Price Lights and Sounds is not a very good baby monitor. It looks very nice, but does not work very well. Lots of static and picks up radio stations. You can hear everything else but your baby crying. I would recommend that you invest a little bit more money and get a better quality monitor....

txroz says "Love it!" about Baby Einstein Discover and Play Entertainer

txroz — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 17:43:47 GMT

Wonderful toy. This is my third son (7 months old) and all have had some type of entertainer and I must say this one was the best of all - Baby Einstein Discover and Play Entertainer. He will play in it for quite some time before he's ready to get out. There's so many things on it to keep him entertained, it is very durable and worth every penny!...
