It's some mad mad (good) french fries

Regular Guy Grub

Went to Tyler Fitzgerald's in Pike Creek recently. Had the wings, which were great, but the big hit of the night were their Seasoned Fries.

These french fries have quickly become my absolute favorite. How so? The seasoning. It's not just Old Bay and it's not just salt. But whatever they put on there makes these fries very tasty and highly recommendable. I saw someone else get the seasoning on the side, a nice option if you just want to sample the seasoning.

But go ahead and be bold, and try an order of these when you can. Be sure to have something to drink as you're eating them. You'll need to. Oh, and no dousing these with ketchup. Save that for fries from somewhere else.

Tyler's, as it is sometimes called, is named after the Jim Backus character in the 1963 comic epic It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Backus, of course, is better known for being Thurston Howell III in "Gilligan's Island" and for voicing cartoon character Mr. Magoo. Perhaps you've heard of some other local bars that base their names on those two roles.

Tyler Fitzgerald's (234-0240) is in the Shops of Limestone Hills, at 5343 Limestone Road, about halfway between Stoney Batter and Paper Mill roads.

Should have walked around the corner to BellaVista. Best pizza around. Tyler's is the place to go if you are a lonely real estate agent looking for a man. Old, tired white people on the hunt. What were you doing there, buddy?

Instead of retracing all the previous articles, I thought I would put my two cents in. Everyone raves about Valle's Italian. That it has the best cheesesteaks. Well to be frank,they are horrible. People who tried their cheesesteaks must be ..nevermind... you get the point. WARNING IT IS NOT WORTH IT>
bland taste, Rolls are horrible, steak very chewy and grizzle. GO to Claymont or Mikes or Doms Deli. Heck even Capriottis or Casapullas are better and they are not great.

If you're in Pike Creek and you want great pizza, great wings, and great cheesesteaks all in one place try Pietro's Pizza in the Shoppes of Linden Hill. We get our food from them whenever we have a party-excellent!
