Hand Fire Pizza

Serving full-fare, authentic Cantonese-style Chinese food, this might be the only joint in America where you'll find a Budweiser sign over the door, Asian decor on the walls, large-screen TVs playing all the big games, and ketchup on a table beside a bowl of egg-drop soup. It's good for families with picky eaters, as the menu carries more than 100 items—from lo mein and mu shu shrimp to hamburgers, pork chops, and fried chicken. Many dishes also come with mushrooms and barbecue sauce; some even have spaghetti.

Lunch is served year-round and dinner is served in summer, but it's the breakfasts and home-baked pastries that are irresistible here. It's elbow to elbow inside, so you may have to wait to be seated on busy mornings, but any inconvenience is well worth it. In summer there's outdoor seating.

The Merry Piglets Mexican Grill

$$

No pork is served here (hence the name). But otherwise, you'll get more-than-generous portions of Mexican fare, over a mesquite grill if you like, with a range of homemade sauces from mild to spicy. Favorites include sizzling fajitas, carne asada, shrimp mango wraps, the rich queso dip, and a Tex-Mex–style seafood chimichanga. It's usually noisy and jam-packed, but there's a full-service bar whipping up frozen strawberry margaritas that you can sip in the festive atmosphere while waiting for your table.
