  • Of the listing New Lincoln Pizza

    ****

    Been a favorite for years - everything about it is gloriously inconsistent like the best local shops always are, have had some amazing cheesesteaks and the pizza is great for the price, and the Kansas Chicken sandwich is great.

    ****

    The blackened tilapia is totally, utterly spectacular. I wish they were a little more set up for a sit-down dinner, but I guess not too many go there for that. Great food, and a highlight of Mt. Airy's Germantown Ave strip.

    ****

    I took my truck to 4 other places that couldn't figure out the problem I was having - it took Nino two tries, but he was the one to fix it. A great garage.

    *****

    Easily my favorite place in the neighborhood - the endlessly changing taps and the exotic weekly pizza specials are spectacular.

  • Of the listing Trolley Car Diner

    **

    Spectacularly mediocre, and the purveyors of the hands-down grossest hollandaise I've ever encountered. They do have a decent omelet ingredient list, and the takeout beer selection is not too shabby, but the food is mostly your standard truckstop fare. Also, in response to another reviewer, there are at least three dramatically better burgers within half a mile on either side of the Trolley Car, just on Germantown alone.

    They can put together a decent omelet with a wide selection of fillings (though eggs and cheese is kinda hard to mess up), and they do have a solid take-out beer selection, but most of the food is pretty sub par, and the default coffee is awful. They also have the distinction of the by-a-mile worst hollandaise I have even encountered - avoid the Eggs Benedict at all costs.

    **

    Just painfully bad, and even moreso for blocking other, inevitably better, Mexican places from opening in the area. The prices are oddly high, the food oddly reminiscent of high school 'Mexican Day' cafeteria slop. How does chorizo get so screwed up? I like cheap Mexican, I like authentic Mexican, and I like fancy gringo-Mexican, and this place is none of those.
