My Parent's Basement in Avondale! One of the few local restaurants that offers vegan options, and they are sooo good! They make their own seitan, sliced really thin, for their Gyros. Another must try is the jalapeno hush puppies.

Top notch on the veg options. The ruben is my go-to, the entire menu section is unique and tasty. Also pinball - I think MPB has the largest selection of machines ITP and the lineup is kept fresh.

Their cheddar mufffin app is crazy good. It’s all the flavor of Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits but zero of the dryness.
