Kingman Restaurant Review: Calicos

Image
 I really like Calicos now that they have reopened.  To be honest I never ate there before the closed as we hadn't moved to Kingman.  I know they also had a temporary location but we never went their either.  I found the best thing at Calicos is the Friday clam chowder; delicious.  I also like the salad bar.  They always have something in the bar for dessert.  I enjoyed the salmon.  The ambience is pretty cool with desert vistas. I visited while I was home alone and ordered prime rib.  It fed me for our or five meals and was very good.  This is the salad.  

Restaurant Review: Cracker Barrel Restaurant and store

  Cracker Barrel is a national chain with a southern twist.  I had never been to a Cracker Barrel before coming to Kingman.  They started in Tennessee and have only moved to the West the last couple of years.  There are stores in Las Vegas, and even California. This is a nice restaurant and country store.  There food is very good.  Better yet it is reasonably priced.  They always seem busy.  The only unpleasant thing is you have to pay at the store.  This allows them the opportunity to get you to spend more money.

Kingman Parks: Mohave Neighborhood Park

Image
 This park is south of Highway 66 and south of one set of railroad tracks.  It is almost across form the Ramblin Rose Motel.  It is off of Topeka Ave on Mohave Ave.  This is a small park and currently the slide is blocked off.  The swings are open.  It also has a hoop for basketball and several picnic tables and grills.  I called parks and rec and they said they didn't think the closure was permanent but for repairs then it would reopen. the area currently blocked off
