I refueled at these places on Friday afternoon.
Acquittal Cafe - I grabbed a Judge Rueben to go for $7 at this place on the side of the courthouse (E. Livingston). I have to admit that I was expecting next to nothing. I was wrong. It was a fairly good corned beef style Rueben on marble rye. The rye was good and the corned beef was ok. It was more like a Irish style "cured" or smoked beef than Jewish deli style corned beef. It had no fat and was sliced thin. It still may have been from a supplier (like the stuff you get at a chain sandwich place), but, it was acceptable. The swiss and kraut were good. The kraut was brown. Boiled in beer? It came with a soda and some very good potato salad. The salad had alot of smoked bacon in it. I think they used sour cream and/or yogurt as the binder instead of mayo. They have some parking (free!) behind the store. They are open 9am-3pm (on weekdays only I think). The place is larger and nicer than you would think it would be. It must seat around fifty. The menu isn't overly large, but, they have enough breakfast and lunch items for most tastes. You could do worse before you get sent to ass rape camp.
Oasis Grill - This place is down the street (away from the courthouse) on N. Magnolia. It was a Italian/pizza place that I may or may not have written about. It's on the corner. Now it is a Mediterranean place. I just got an order of humus to go for $4. Anything else was over $7 and I wasn't as interested in trying this place as getting it off the list. The hummus was good. Same price as in the supermarket and I got some pita triangles with it. They put whole peas in the middle. They have a basic menu. Maybe it's good. It doesn't look like it would be by the environment, but, looks can be deceiving. At least the owners are from the region (Syria via NY). They haven't made any substantial changes to the interior. They have been open for just a little while.
