Squeeze Inn Second Review: Second Time's a Charm

BVN RESTAURANT REVIEW - This is my second review of this restaurant. My first focused on the price and an unfortunate use of what appeared to be a dirty ice bucket. On my second visit, it was clear those two issues were addresses.

In my first review I said the burger was tasty and the unique cheese skirt was different and provided a nice cheese appetizer. Like the first time the burger on the second time was very good.

Pete & Marias Serving the Ranchos a Great Pizza

BVN RESTAURANT REVIEW - Have been wanting to try this place out for a while. Their menu items were a little pricey, $12 for pasta dinner. So we opted for a pizza.

We ordered the GIANT combo pizza with anchovies. The toppings were plenty and very fresh. What I like the most about the pie was the butt load of cheese. You couldn't see the toppings because there was so much cheese.
