Don't read this if you're hungry because you'll want to grab your car keys and head to the 235 Grill in Alger before you finish the story.

The Grill, located in the heart of town, serves large portions of mouth-watering ribs, chicken, kabobs, salmon, filet mignon with all the fixins. Oh, and pizza, too.

And, you better get there early or call ahead on steak or rib nights. They serve 150 dinners, that's it. When they are gone, they are gone.
