The entire goal of writing this blog is to discover those restaurants with that perfect combination of great food and drinks, warm-friendly service, and a cool vibe that most national chains just aren't capable of providing. The only thing Stirr was able to deliver up was good food. And I'm not sure if good food alone is worth coming back for.

Quarter Bar
Looking for a quiet, relaxed place to grab a drink with your spouse or a tasty treat with your kids? Quarter Bar is the solution to both. Their friendly staff serves up great burgers. I personally love the Quarter Special - French Onion Soup and Grilled Cheese. When you are there be sure to try the Chips and Dip app. The dip is so good; I wanted to lick the bowl!
Our server brought us the Chips and Dip because there was supposed to be a wait before we could order from the kitchen. On that day, we happened to go out to eat at that weird time in-between lunch and dinner, and the staff was busy prepping the kitchen for dinner service. We didn't mind waiting; it gave us a chance to try out some of the adult beverages, and the kids were happy cause we took them by the bakery section to pick out a special treat. The kids chose a ginormous cinnamon roll while we tackled the drink menu. There's something for everyone here.
And much to our surprise, the kitchen actually went ahead and made our food even though we were told it would be another 30 minutes before the kitchen would be fired up again. While mom and dad would have to wait until next time to sample more drinks, the kids were happy to be leaving sooner. They were about to explode from mom and dad overload.
