Hate to admit I wasn’t impressed when I tried it. Got the buffalo mac and it just tasted like cheap hot sauce and and looked like something I could slapped together myself at home. Portion was also a joke for how much they charge. I can think of 5 other restaurants that aren’t Mac & cheese focused at all that still have better Mac and cheese.

As others have mentioned West End Antiques ALWAYS has some cool stuff but definitely isn’t the most affordable. Last week I had some time to kill out in Midlothian and checked out the Habitat for Humanity thrift shop on Mall Drive and the thrift store across the street in the old Pier 1 building on the other side of Midlothian. Both of them had some awesome looking furniture and were CHEAP too. Definitely worth a trip across the river! Also both stores didn’t seem to be picked clean by resellers like Diversity always seems to now.

Deep Groove and Plan 9 are both solid but don’t forget Records and Relics in Church Hill. Small store and he’s only open a few days a week but I’ve never left there empty handed!

I have friends that rave about this place but the one time I went it felt pretty ran down to say the least. We should have walked out the second we were seated at a dilapidated booth and given plastic forks. The Hibachi station was fresh and good but most of the other food looked and tasted like it had been sitting there all day. The dessert bar also consisted of stale off brand Oreos and pans of loose cereal. Hunan East really needs to bring their buffet back it really was the best in the city!
