Either location 10-min drive -- great for take-out. Nothin' fancy, but they make "just getting chicken" worth your while in their Peruvian oven. Plantains, green rice, and churros for dessert are a must, to go with your quarter-chicken, half-chicken, or chicken tacos!

Yes, I mentioned this under "downtown mall," but Whiskey Jar deserves it's own recommendation. Southern fare, the fried chicken salad, the Crunch Burger, salads, live music in the evenings. Quality, if not the healthiest, ingredients. Some heated outdoor seating. Great vibe and food. Whiskey Sour is their most popular drink. Margaritas. Lots of local beers.
