Good Eats at Max & Zelda's

Hey, maybe the curse has been lifted from the building formerly known as Peggy Sue's on Highway 16, just past the high school. It's spent time as several restaurants in the last few years and none of them have stuck (because they stank), but the new Max and Zelda's seems promising. The food served is good stick to your ribs stuff - nothing too fancy, but there are two really noteworthy items to try: the rolls served with the meals is reason enough alone to visit the cafe - I contemplated asking for seconds). And they do an excellent job on their sides - the veggies are cooked to perfection, something one doesn't always find this side of the Pecos. They need to beef up their salad menu and improve their service (the staff is polite, but the wait is simply too long), and who knows, this place might last long enough for us to remember its name.
