Mad Dogs Café

I am a big supporter of "mom and pop places." I had seen this place from the boardwalk a number of times. I knew I had to check it out sometime. I was going down the boardwalk when someone asked me if I had been there yet. I replied, "no but I want to." They told me all about the homemade this and that, the gelato and on and on. They seemed a bit over the top but I had to know for myself......OH SNAP!!!!! This is a mother and son operation that does it right. I do not live in the area but I wish I had one in my neighborhood. I had the Spicy Italian and my son had the Banger. We both loved them. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE CHIPS. They are cut fresh and fried in rice oil. I have never heard of rice oil but I want some so I can make these at home. The Mad Dog sauce is "it." It is soooo good. I don't remember either of their names but I will not forget the food. Please go check it out and please tell a friend if you like it. With so many family operations coming and going, I hope they make it. They are so personable. If nothing else,at least wave "hello" on your way to your greasy same old same old corporate bull spit.

Filippi's — Pacific Beach

We are here on vacation. I heard there was better pizza in PB but I have yet to find it. We also had the Lasagna. It was amazing. Our service was second to none. We received the best service of this trip at Fillipi's. Our server was Badil. She was so attentive and on the ball. I did not expect this at all. Our drinks were always full, more bread was on the way and she met even our smallest requests without question. I am writing this for a reason. I do not know Badil from any other server on our vacation but she deserves this. She provided the best service of anyone in PB. Please request her and tip accordingly. She is fantastic.
