I wasn't sure I'd like this place, but with a name like "Big Buns & Pita," how could it not have at least some redeeming qualities? (Makes you wonder if their first choice for a name was "Fat Ass & Bread" but Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises Inc. had a prior claim on the tradename.)
Well, it turns out that the food was pretty spectacular and we had a really swell time.
By the way, the Spanish-dubbed movie showing on the TV while we were in Big Buns & Pita was "Red Sun," starring Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune and Alain Delon. The film isn't nearly as bad as some reviews on IMDb might suggest.
