Tonight we look at Pizza Inn on Clinton Hwy. It was looking bad from the start because we arrived the same time a school bus full of kids got there. We were fortunate that the rest of the family already had a table.
We got our first round of pizza without much wait, but it was slim pickins. The bus party had called ahead so the staff was prepared with plenty of pizza. This worked out well for those wanting seconds but after my first round there wasn't anything that demanded a second slice.
They kept plenty of pizza available and the staff was friendly but we are a bit spoiled when it comes to pizza. We will save the name of that place for another day and another review.
Pizza Inn gets a solid 3/5 and of course we will find ourselves there again sooner or later.
Until next Friday be Blessed.

" The England Dinner" Food Review
Tonight for the England Dinner review we will take a look at " RJs Courtyard Restaurant on the Airport Hwy in Alcoa, Tn.
RJs could easily be considered a somewhat mid-scale restaurant which appears to be clean and very nice from outside. You find the same inside as well and it seemed to be larger than it's outward appearance. They also have an easy to read menu that is not cluttered at all along with moderate but reasonable pricing.
This was our first time at RJs and there were many items that caught our eye , tonight we were both in the mood for a nice steak. We started out with fried mushrooms. I measure the mushrooms to one and only one restaurant located in Halls. If you've eaten there and like mushrooms you know this place. RJs were there as far as taste goes but they fall short on quantity for the price. Ok I'm spoiled, I get twice as many for the same price at my mushroom fav.
We both had the 10oz.Top Sirloin, the wife's being well and mine of course being rare.
This is where I wish I could start bragging on the wonderful qualities of a beautiful and perfectly prepared steak. Well that's not happening tonight folks.
These were two of the toughest and driest steaks I believe I can remember ever having. You can fix a steak that is cooked wrong but when it is dry and tough that is the quality of the beef used. When you are a rare steak eater and you have to saw the steak and it looks dry, you know you're going to have a bad steak. I felt even worse for my wife because hers was well.
I will say , the Spinach Maria was vey good and the waitress provided excellent service.
The only saving grace for RJs comes from the comments from the others at our table on their meal.
I can tell you that " Blackened Grouper" "Grilled Chicken" "Ground Angus Steak" "Coconut Chicken Tenders" and the "Rocky Top Burger"
all scored much greater than the "Top Sirloin". As a matter of fact my wife made the comment that her "Double Burger" from Wendy's Friday night was better.
While we will give RJs another chance, it won't be with a steak.
Our rating on this trip would be pushing a 3/5.

Friday Night Food Review
I must first apologize for being slack in my duty of bringing you my food review. I was confronted by a cousin tonight at the "England Dinner" who politely informed me that she missed seeing the review.
Here's to you Cousin, you know who you are.
Friday nights review is a short but sweet one featuring none other that Wendy's. Yes that's right Wendy's.
The wife had her all time favorite which is the Double along with fries and was well pleased as she always is.
I had a couple of the dollar menu chicken sandwiches and fries. Tell me, Just how much can you say about a sandwich with a chicken patty , a piece of lettuce and mayo? How can you mess that up?
The best I can do for this review is ask you, just what else can you say about Wendy's? You either like them or you don't. We do so yes we will be going back. I'm sorry but I don't feel the need to give the fast food chains a star rating.
This wraps up the Friday Night Food Review. Until we meet again may God Bless you!!

Anniversary Food Review
Hey everybody, hope you didn't have any trouble finding us on the Blog Spot. To end April you are going to get a "triple" shot of the Food Review. You will get tonight's anniversary issue plus Friday nights regular review and the you will also get the England Family Dinner review on Sat. night. Three nights for just the price of one, where else can you get a deal like that?
Well on to the food. Tonight's review is about Chesapeake Seafood House located on Union Ave. in downtown Knoxville . Tn.
You can dress casual to formal , it's all fine. They have a light and lively atmosphere and the clientele was mostly the elder generation. The reason I say this is because the music playlist ranged from " Joe Walsh to Jim Croce to Joe Cocker to Billy Preston to Sir Elton" and everything in between. I tell you this because when I mentioned the oddity of the customers age and the music I was reminded by my wife that I was their age and that too was music of my generation. Well back to the food.
We both shared the fried Calamari appetizer and then had the Seafood Combination for dinner , only differences being , the wife's was fried and mine was broiled , hers had oysters and mine had a Maryland crab cake. They both had fish , scallops , shrimp and a side dish. While all of the seafood was delicious to say the least , the wife could not stop talking about her side dish. The side was baked macaroni with spinach Maria and spicy cheese. My side was Neva's potato's which was supposed to be like a twice baked potato casserole which was so so but nothing to brag about . We topped our night off with a piece of Slower Delaware Pie . This is coffee flavored ice-cream filling and a Kahlua crust topped with pecans , whipped cream and hot fudge. That was something else.
I must say that overall it was a very delightful evening and great food. It is definitely somewhere you would want to give a try if you are a seafood lover. I will be upfront with you and tell you it is an up scale restaurant and is not cheap . A party of two with an appetizer and entrée , dessert and drinks will destroy a Benjamin.
Well as the wife says , it's our anniversary and we don't do this every day! We rate this one 4.5 / 5.
Happy Anniversary Dear. I Love You!!
