E J's Canyon Cafe   

Award-winning wings and the city's best seafood gumbo are two reasons that many hungry patrons pull up a plate at Gibby's Grandview restaurant. They certainly aren't the only ones, though. In the spring and summer, the 40-item beer menu, full-service patio and half-dozen TVs sporting baseball and golf make it a great place for sports aficionados to share some postgame dirt. When the weather is cooler, armchair quarterbacks grab a seat at the bar or bring the family to mellow out by the fire ablaze in the hearth. The smiling servers are able to please even the fussiest of customers, and they handle everything with style and ease, from carryout orders to private parties. Weekend brunch and Wednesday-night specials (think $3 burritos and $3 margaritas) are always exceptional. Or make a real impression on your date by springing for 20 wings and a bottle of Dom Perignon for under $200.
