It's cheaper to eat dinner at Peter's than to buy the same food and cook it yourself at home. And, depending on your cooking prowess, it might be a whole lot tastier. The focus is rotisserie chicken, in addition to a rotating list of other meaty options (spare ribs, meat loaf, beef stew), to be paired with a variety of homey sides: grilled and mashed sweet potatoes, spinach, green beans, okra, yellow rice, cabbage. Order at the counter, where delightfully scruffy, flannel-clad staff dish out generous portions of veggies and starch from a dozen red Le Creuset pots. CONT'D

 

The daily menu includes 1/4 chicken plus two sides for only $9.50. If you're with a friend, you might be fine splitting a 1/2 pound and two sides for just over $10. The meals come with a generous chunk of foccacia, which Peter's makes in-house over 12 times per day. There's also wine for under $5, beer for under $4, and killer desserts.  Israeli born and Le Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef and co-owner, Omri Magal, created everything from scratch including a delectable flourless chocolate cake. With homemade whipped cream and fresh strawberries, it's well worth a trip to the gym.

I'm surprised it took you guys this long to review this place, because it was the FIRST place I found when I moved here. It's the most delicious, economical restaurant I've found in this city so far. But I'm not sure how you could forget that their mac and cheese is also OUT OF THIS WORLD. You can't get much better bang for you buck.
