A fresh pot of coffee steams on each table at Le Peep, whose diner-style breakfasts and lunches have been hitting tables across the country since the first shop opened nearly 50 years ago. The kitchen staff dips slices of sourdough vienna bread in french custard batter for the signature french toast and transforms fresh eggs into omelets and casserole-style scrambled-egg dishes. Diners can also feast on plates of piping hot chocolate-chip griddlecakes or belgian waffles buried under a heap of dutch apples. Pitas, hoagies, and melts counterbalance breakfasts, as do burgers such as the bacon cheeseburger and the breakfast burger, a morning-style bacon cheeseburger topped with a fried egg and garnished with a picture of a sunrise.
The staccato snap of ricocheting billiard balls rises up through a warm chorus of cheering fans, who come together beneath signed jerseys from Josh Hamilton, Terry Bradshaw, and Emmitt Smith and 22 flat-screen televisions. Volcano's all-female staff works to make first-time guests feel like regulars without having to remember the jukebox's birthday, all the while delivering platters laden with half-pound Black Angus burgers crowned in chipotle spread. As darts flick through the air, sauce-covered hot wings fuel investigation into honey-hued cascades of brews and shakers chattering on cool loads of cocktails behind the bar.
New sets of friends formed by the mythological fates who determine shuffleboard teams sip libations while planning strategy. Golden Tee, a virtual golf game that draws a cult following, lets patrons compete against players sprinkled across the country or work on swings without the distraction of clouds shaped like a favorite paramecium. The bright jukebox sings a haunting siren melody to itchy index fingers, and the ambient satellite radio station plays hits from the top of the charts between selections.
Owners Steve and JoAnn Barker sling their spicy creations—which include 12 to 15 types of tamales and 35 varieties of house-made salsa—from their own store between Ball and Scribner, and at the Grapevine Farmer’s Market on Main Street. Served hot or frozen and prepared without gluten, Tommy’s tamales teem with fresh and creative ingredients, from pumpkin and sweet potato to spinach and cinnamon, with vegetarian options and a breakfast tamale stuffed with sausage and potato. An epic spread of mild to hot house-made salsas seize their spiciness from panoplies of different peppers, including habaneros and serranos, and part their piquant surfs for crispy tortilla chips and roving bands of piñatas.
Vibrant red walls and a caricature of a jolly Italian chef adorn Italian Sub Shop’s space, where customers can step up to counter and order 1 of 10 oven-baked subs. Capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, and italian beef are just a sample of the decadent deli meats that sandwich constructors pile atop white or wheat bread and blanket with cheese. The shop caters to vegetarian appetites with an unlimited salad bar, an italian veggie sub packed with mushrooms and mozzarella, and a peanut-butter-and-jelly sub served with an “I love you!” note from the owner’s mom. Hearty bowls of homemade soups, such as spicy chicken noodle or tomato basil, accompany the hot subs, and cannolis and three types of cookies end meals on a sweet note.
Asian Top Restaurant’s menu combines Chinese fare with a full sushi bar and features periodic specials such as crab legs on Friday and Saturday night. Appetizers of fried or steamed dumplings make way for pan-fried noodles with chicken, beef, and shrimp or plates of spicy szechuan chicken. Sushi chefs use california rolls as a base for several other cylindrical creations, topping the cream-cheesy favorite with fresh eel, baked spicy scallops, or a duet of salmon and avocado. Cajun rolls of spicy crawfish and smelt roe also glide forth from the sushi bar alongside plates of tuna tataki, up to 10 pieces of seared tuna served with ponzu sauce. An all-you-can-eat buffet—served seven days a week from lunch through dinner—encourages culinary adventure and soothes the indecisive with spreads of sushi, barbecue spare ribs, coconut shrimp, mussels, and a full dessert bar.
