Balkan Yugoslavian Home Cooking

 I've been to this place three times already. Jesus, they weren't exaggerating on the blog reviews, Balkan's stuffed pljeskavica is to die for! The pattie itself is good (it's chewy with a sausage-ish texture), stuffed with mozzarella and served with a LOT of fries (you can opt for rice). Huge serving so I couldn't order any other so I'll just had to go back for the goulash. I did come back for the goulash and they werent kidding too when  they said it's good for up to 3 people. I had to ask for a doggie bag and ate the left over a couple more times at home lol.  

Last time I was there I had goulash and dzigerica (pork liver steak topped with garlic, served with mashed potatos) ... if you havent tried this place you're missing half of your carnivorous existence.

Red Engine Diner at The Columns


Good ribs but for a place that offer steak and ribs, Red Engine does not give you the option to order sides. It would've been better with slaw or spuds but everything comes in a set. So the meat comes with rice, iced tea and garnish (that is 3sticks of carrots and 2sticks of turnip). Cheap, though, and they have good service (no service charge too) so I can't really complain ... much :p
