Chip & Salsa (Canton, Ohio)

This a decent size Mexican restaurant with authentic Mexican food. For starters, the Westfield Center/Belden Village area based Catina had a really good...chip n salsa... and guacamole.  I stuck with the basics here.  I had three tacos and rice & beans. Very basic.  If you like authentic Mexican ....it will fit the bill.
The people I went with were 50/50. The only think we could agree in was the salsa and guacamole.  But, its basic. Nothing more. Nothing less than basics. I would go back.

*I will go back. The prices were pretty much average. But, I love authentic Mexican foods.

Louie's Bar & Grill (Akron, Ohio)

So, today I visited Louie's Bar & Grill and Akron, Ohio. I was on a mission to find an amazing burger. So, unreadable of giving up and going with a chain burger, I decided to ask around. A good friend recommended this place that I decided to hit.
It ended up hitting the spot....served its purpose. I'll start with the place itself.  It's a neighborhood bar & grill. Relaxing feel and friendly. Service was kind, friendly and as quick as can be expected for made-to-order food. It was clean. No troubles there.
THE FOOD: I started with Ruben bites. As good as they sound...if ya like rubens and comes with 1,000 island dressing. 
THE BURGERS: I had the chance to try not only one, but two burgers. The first was the "Greek Burger". These are 1/2lbs. burgers...so I knew what I was getting into. :-) the greek burger has a toasted bun, a boat load of feta cheese , lettus and gyro (taziki) sauce. Now this style is not something all will LOVE. BUT, if you like gyros and feta cheese....you will absolutely fall in love with this burger. When I said it had a boat load of feta in it.....I was not making things up. Lol! The massive mouse if feta was close to an inch thick. I highly recommend this burger. I actually ate half before finding the gyro sauce under the huge mound of freshly cut fries. After adding that....OMG! *****
The second burger I sampled...."the glenwood burger"....this was also 1/2lb. burger. It was covered in a mound of fried camel onions and slathered with "glenwood sauce". (I was told it was a mix of tartar and BBQ sauce. Whatever it was, it tickled my tastebuds. Also *****
If your looking for a great burger, this is the place. They also have a chillin burger and many others....including chose your own adventure style ....add what ya want. They have solid choices for appetizers. Including deep fried pickles, deep fried mac-n-cheese and much more. ..... and for dessert....deep fried cheesecake.
So, if your looking for a good burger......this is the place.  If looking for a healthy-keep-ya-off-the-treadmil-kinda meal.....not so much.
