Critique: The Chinese Mexican Burrito Cafe in Forsyth Mo.

I had an opportunity to eat lunch at the Chinese Mexican Burrito Cafe that is located off Hwy 160 next to the Great Southern Bank on a lazy Wednesday in August and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

The occasion was the fact that a friend of mine, Daniel Danielson, owed me a lunch and finally came through by inviting me to haul my ass over to this food emporium that serves up both a Mexican and Chinese bill of fare. (I also discovered that they have an American menu for those who like burgers

and fries and such). As you can see, the portions are rather healthy in size even as the pricing is very fair. I was also surprised to find that the establishment offers a premium selection of beer along with a regular assortment of other beverages.


I found the service to be prompt and the interior clean and airy with the large plate glass windows next to most of the seats. The venue is also open from 11 AM to 8PM Monday through Saturday.


The bottom line – a great place to eat at and to get away from the other run of the mill food served in other venues around the area. I hope to make this eatery a frequent destination in the futre.

Want something tasty to eat? Visit the White River Grill!

Tucked away in the small, but scenic town of Rockaway Beach Missouri, is perhaps one of the most creative eateries I've encountered in many a year. Run by owner/cook Bill Kitchin, the White River Grill has to be experienced rather than merely described. That's because the food that's served up from a wide and varied menu is done to perfection each and every time. Testament to that fact is the picture (see below) I took of a breakfast I had there recently. It's called the 'Town Favorite' and it looked so good, I'd taken a bite out of one of the sausages before remembering to snap the shot! And speaking of food, Mr. Kitchin regularly posts some of his creations on his Face Book page for all to see (and hunger for). Make sure to 'friend' him so you too can keep abreast of his special offerings as they come up!

Located at 2683 State Highway 176 in Rockaway Beach, about halfway down the main drag, the restaurant is easy to find. And, I've always been treated well as this establishment which is not really surprising when you have servers like Rene giving some of the most courteous and prompt service to be found anywhere!

The establishment is open Tuesday through Sunday, the last time I checked. To be sure, you can call them at 417-561-1313 during regular business hours. The White River Grill has free Wifi, is kid friendly, does private parties and even has an outside deck for dining out on the nice days of the year. Make plans to stop there today! You won't be disappointed.

Primo’s Pizza and Pasta! A great place to meet and eat!

Located at 17447 Hwy 160 (right next door to Park Place Market) in Forsyth Missouri, Primo’s Pizza and Pasta offers the diner a quaint and cozy hideaway that has room for more than twenty hungry patrons. This dine in/carry out/delivery eatery features a full menu which includes appetizers, salads, tomato-basil wraps, chicken clubs, toasted subs, wings and pasta of course! Everything is fresh, tasty and affordable.

On a visit in the near future, I plan to put off my diet for a day and will order one of their specialty pizzas. I think I’ll go for the Supreme pizza which comes with generous helpings of pepperoni, sausage, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and black olives. (This being just one of an entire line of specialty pizzas, each with different toppings designed to suit almost any taste). In addition to the choice of toppings, you can specify the type of crust you want; be it thin, New York hand tossed or deep dish ($1 extra). On that day, I plan to order the deep dish version as it reminds me of pizzas I used to eat while living in Chicago.

Primo’s can be reached by calling 417-546-0591 and they also have a Facebook presence. Be sure to stop by,say hi and tell'em DanO sent ya!

Update: This business is closed as of Nov 2011.
