I prefer independent rather than chain restaurants. In fact, I try to stay away from franchises altogether. I've had far more luck finding great food among the independent businesses . There is a Mongolian BBQ not far I've been meaning to try. I live nearby a Serbian club too which I have often been curious about. Around the corner from that is a Shwarma and Hooka club. And of course, I am game for pretty much any pub grub.
