Stone Creek 3801 W. Sixth St.
You'll love the atmosphere at Stone Creek, just not as much as you'll love the food. With a menu that offers pizza, pasta, steaks and chops, there's definitely something for everyone, and at any budget. Prices range from about $20 for a steak to around $7 for a sandwich.

The covered outdoor patio is the largest in Lawrence, but when it gets cold, the dark, warm wood décor inside is equally inviting. Stop by on a Sunday for brunch, grab a quick meal in the afternoon, or make it a date spot. Attire is casual, but hey, dress up if you feel like it, the folks at Stone Creek won't mind.
Server of the week:
LaTanya Dodd
Carlos O'Kelly's
707 W. 23rd St.
LaTanya Dodd has been a server at Carlos O'Kelley's, 707 W. 23rd, for nearly two years. The Newton senior is majoring in Human Development and Family Life and plans to graduate this December. Dodd's postgrad plans include being a juvenile probation officer in Kansas City. She likes working at Carlos O'Kelley's because of the great people she works with. Dodd says they are all friends and don't form cliques
— a big difference from other places she's worked. The most valuable skills of a good server, Dodd says, are learning quickly and multitasking.
Favorite dish: chicken fajitas
Best tip: $20 on a $15 tab
Worst tip: Either getting stiffed
on a $25 tab, or the time she
had a party of dine-n-dashers
