I'm giving them 4 stars because they have a gluten-free bun and gluten-free fries!!!
It was awesome to go have lunch and get a burger on a BUN! I had the hickory burger combo with sweet potato fries. The combo comes with a large drink and I think the large fries and my total was $10. Not so cheap, but I'm happy to pay that so that I can have a burger! Also, unless you're a big eater, you probably don't need the whole combo for yourself. I ate most of the fries but .. I really didn't need to. And the drink is huge! So if you're with someone I'd recommend splitting the fries and maybe skipping the drink in favor of some water. Or just one of you get the combo and share the drink :)
For those of you interested in the gluten-free bun - I'm pretty sure it's an ener-g tapioca hamburger bun.

I am pleased to inform you that we do carry tapioca buns for our gluten/casein allergic friends. Also, our fries (both sweet and regular hand cut) are made from fresh cut, all natural potatoes and cooked in canola oil. We make sure to cook any breaded items in a seperate fryer so they are gluten/caesin free as well. I hope this answers your question.

I don't understand how anyone could give Artz less than 5 stars. Unless, maybe they didn't have the baby back pork ribs. That could explain it :)
I never really even liked ribs until I went to Artz. They are so tender and yummy. And I love the potato salad! It has a kind of tangy taste that makes it taste just a little different than other potato salad.
My dad is a big beef rib fan and says that Artz has the second best beef ribs in Austin.
And if you ask, they usually have a few beef rib bones in the back that they'll wrap up and give you to take home to your dog.People thought this was:

They seem to use the gluten free kneads crusts (real thin, 10inch?) which are awesome and their toppings are fresh and varied. Delivery is on time and everyone on the phone and in person is polite.
As is usual, the gluten free crust is quite a bit more ($5 which is what I think Brick Oven charges as well) but we think it's worth it especially when we can be lazy and have it come to our door.
I love you Austin's Pizza!
PS- For some reason gluten free crust isn't listed on their online pdf menu but when you actually order online and choose the 10inch pizza, it is shown as an option.

Momiji Hibachi & Sushi
Categories: Sushi Bars, Japanese
Our bill last night-
Tuna roll - $4.00
Salmon roll - $4.00
Philly roll - $4.00
Salmon sushi (2) - $2.75
Tuna sushi (2) - $3.00
Escolar sushi (2) - $2.75
Also our tuna roll had chopped tuna in it which isn't as good as a solid piece. The salmon roll wasn't chopped so maybe it's not normal practice and they were just running low on whole pieces of tuna last night?
They do still have lots of $20-$25 bottles of wine though!

The wine is now $6.50 a glass but you can still get a bottle for $20 so that works out ok :)
Sushi is still very good and remains at half price for dinner Sunday-Thursday. We've been here 1-2 times a week almost every week since my first review and we've never had anything that tasted bad or made anyone sick!
They have a $3 special menu for Friday and Saturday dinner now too but it's not on the website.
PS- If you're eating gluten-free ask them to omit the crunch from your spicy rolls!People thought this was:

This place is AWESOME!
Sunday thru Thursday they have 1/2 price sushi and rolls from 5pm to close. And the 1/2 price menu is large! Plus they have buy one beer, wine or sake and get the second for half price.
So the other night we had-
2 pieces of escolar - $2.50
2 pieces of salmon- $3.00
tuna roll - $3.00
spicy tuna roll - $3.00
philly roll - $3.00
spicy yellowtail roll - $3.00
2 glasses of chardonnay - $10
2 1/2 price glasse of chardonnay - $5
So 4 pieces of sushi, 4 rolls and 4 glasses of wine = $35.20 with tax!
And the sushi is good! I'd say it's on par with Midori. The only things we noticed were that the rolls weren't rolled as tightly as they should have been and that the rice wasn't super sticky.
If you can snag a booth, the atmosphere is a lot better :)
Also, they're open on Sunday when a lot of the sushi places in the area are closed.
The map is totally wrong. Momiji is in the shopping center on the southeast corner of 183 and 620.People thought this was:

- reasonable prices
- ALWAYS on time!
- serious moving experience (these guys can really get a fridge down a VERY narrow hallway)
- nice guys
- no breaking and scratching of things!
I felt very comfortable that these guys aren't just throwing my stuff around in the trucks or breaking things and hoping I won't notice until they're gone. Call them! Your move will be so much more pleasant!

- they were quick to provide a quote
- the quote was the lowest we received
- it was only a week until they made it out to install the system
- they showed up when they said they would and completed on time
- they didn't leave a mess behind
- and they were polite!
Check them out if you're looking for a sprinkler system!

In the last three months, Top Notch has done the following for us-
- replaced and painted an exterior door
- textured and painted two bathrooms
- re-shingled our roof
- replaced gutters
- washed and stained a patio
- replaced a light fixture
- put in a set of interior french doors and two regular interior doors
- painted a vanity and made a new top for it
- painted several rooms
..... and I am sure there are at least 5 things that I am forgetting!
Top Notch can do almost anything you need done for your house and they'll do it for a reasonable price and at the time they said they would do it! It's even nicer that both Lana and Robert are great at responding to emails and texts as s that can make it WAY easier to communicate while you're stuck at work.
I would highly recommend having them come out and give you an estimate on your next project. I mean.. now that they've finished all that stuff for us I guess it's ok to let you all know how great they are :)
