Unusual & Fun

I liked this place when it was Doug Arango's, but I love, Love, Love it now--the whole vibe is different--the menu has something for everyone and the prices are incredible. The whole feel of the place is upbeat and everyone of any age can find something to love here...Go! Go! You won/t be sorry...

Burger Night Mondays
By globalmega on 06/12/2007
Every monday Doug Arangos has "burger night" and it's a burger lover's dream. I've gone several times with my buddies after work and the bar is so full, that we have to take a table sometimes. For $14, you can either get a trio of three small burgers, which are all different, or one large one of your choice. The french fries that come with the burger are awesome. Last week I had the trio and they were a veal burger, a maui beef and a duck. The duck is served with cherry relish and it was my fave. I will get that one in the larger size next time. They always have great meat, cheese, and sauce combos and its a great value. The buns are homemade and delicious as well.

Love the Pasta Dishes Here
By danmarkos on 05/21/2007
Although this place is not a strictly Italian restaurant, every pasta dish I've had here blows me away. I was a regular at the mediocre Madeo and now regret not finding out about Doug Arango's sooner. Every pasta dish is well thought out and superbly light. My favorite the last few months was the braided gemelli pasta with sauteed rapini and the chefs homemade crumbled sausage with garlic and oil. However I just had a Lasagne with artichoke tapenade instead of meat and it was insanely deliscious and so light I could have eaten a second order. I refrained from doing so only because I wanted to have the chefs wonderful cheesecake, which to me is a cross between creamy NY style and a ricotta italian style. The very garlicky caesar salad is a must have, especially when having pasta. I can nott rave about this place enough. I'm going again this friday and I will post about my experience again next week

Ribs Were Superb
By gmmspam on 03/16/2007
Just had the ribs there last weekend and they were incredible. The sauce was amazing and a little spicy, just so you know. The ribs are a huge "Flintstonian" sized portion and the fries served with, are among the best I've ever had. This is definitely a must have item on the menu. The desserts were great as well. Overall, a 4.5 out of 5 stars in my book. It never dissapoints and the staff is pleasant and welcoming.
