Binh-Le Vietnamese Restaurant
5903 E. 31st St. | 918.835.7722

The bun cha gio at Binh-Le is the heavyweight champion of chopped salads. Silky rice noodles are topped with lettuce, carrots, cucumbers; choice of chicken, steak, or shrimp; a full eggroll, and a dash of peanut crumbs. Never has a bowl full of vegetables so invitingly beckoned, “dig in!” -Georgia Brooks

Coney I-Lander
5219 E. 41st St. | 918.505.7976

Everyone loves Coney I-Lander. But which location? Downtown or Peoria? Southroads or Eastside? I went with Southroads, pre-movie. My order? Three with everything (mustard, chili, onions and cheese), Fritos, Louisiana Hot Sauce and a 50/50 mix of strawberry soda/Mountain Dew. You can’t really go wrong. Unless you get a plain wiener in a bun. Why did you give up on life? - Andy Wheeler

McNellie’s Public House
409 E. 1st St. | 918.382.7468

Cold weather means hearty soup and dark beer. On this front, McNellie’s Irish Lunch Special is one of the best deals in town. For $6.99, you get a bowl of their classic potato leek soup (plus toasted rye and crackers) and a 10 oz. glass of Guinness. It’s enough to warm you up without putting you to sleep.  -Joshua Kline
