Morse Avenue Munchies Update

I'm enjoying a hot cuppa over at Common Cup whilst I wifi my way through the Internet. Oh, you haven't heard? Common Cup is open on Sundays now, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. They've added salads and sandwiches to their menu, too. Come on over to 1501 W. Morse (at N. Greenview).

The newest restaurant to open on Morse is the Grill Inn at 1422 W. Morse Avenue, which opened last Thursday. It's a Greek restaurant, sort of. Owned and operated by Nick, a cousin of the owners of Morse Fruit and Meat Market two door away, the Grill Inn offers a number of Greek-style items.

But they have plenty of non-Greek items to choose from. French fries, of course, but rice pilaf is a nice alternative to accompany the Italian beef or the Italian sausage. I had the beef-and-sausage combo (photo) and it was excellent. The lady who ordered before me had the Cajun chicken sandwich, which looked and smelled incredible. The atmosphere is cozy, with hand rendered plaster walls that recall aging brick. The grill area itself is impressively large, and the customer can see everything that is happening during the preparation of their meal. This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
