alliston: Mike's Family Restaurant and Sports Lounge, Alliston - 09/22/11 06:25 PM
Mike's Family Restaurant and Sports Lounge was the very first local restaurant that our family dined in when we moved to New Tecumseth in 2002. Helen and I relish the opportunity to go off the beaten track and sample the local haunts.

They are definitely "good people" and add to your dining experience. The many dishes we have sampled off the large menu have all been fresh … (14 comments)

alliston: R&P Farms Deli, Alliston, Ontario - 08/02/11 10:39 AM
I had heard of this fairly new Alliston eatery for a while. The people in my office raved about the Bagels, Sandwiches and Butter Tarts.
I told my wife and mother-in-law about the R&P Farms store across the road from my office and have had their bagels, still warm out of the oven for breakfast on a Sunday morning.
I finally wandered over one day a little while ago when I only had a few minutes to have something to eat. Frank and Ro, the proprietors, suggested I try their BBQ'd Smoked Back Bacon on a Bun (that they … (4 comments)
