Your favorite local eating joint ?

[Boaz]

I am 'blessed' (questionable since I'm constantly trying to watch my weight) that Prines BBQ is 5 min drive from my work . Third generation family owned , started in 1925 ...these folks are doing something right . Second oldest BBQ joint in Texas . Went to high school with Allen Prine the present owner back in the 60's .

Anything out of my smoker, first.
Second place would be Longhorn-maybe.

You guys are lucky, BBQ culture at your door, NYS not so much, Tim.

Breakfast 5 days/week. I ain't got enough to sit at the Table of Knowledge.

I thought NY had everything

[bubba.50]

in no particular order King's Buffet Chinese restaurant, Texas Roadhouse, Sal's real Italian restaurant, Dixie Barbecue, The Bull & Bones, and the Chicken Bus that parks at a nearby market once a week & sells smoked chicken halves. now if we just had a decent seafood restaurant nearby.

[bubba.50]

forgot to mention, Aly's for subs and the Brush Mountain Buffalo Restaurant for the best buffalo burgers ever.

Double LL Steakhouse & Saloon, best bone in Ribeye in the territory!

[1911sw45]

For steaks it would be Charley's stake house at Fort Campbell, KY not to be confused with o'charleys. But it burnt down over ten yrs ago. So I say Texas Roadhouse.

Bbq is Nock'em Hill in Herdon KY.

Without a doubt, a place called "The Blue Gate" in Shipshewana IN. Amish type cooking and even the mashed potatoes are made from scratch. Second best is "The Essen Haus", in Middlebury, IN, again Amish style cooking.

Anyone get up in No. Indiana stop into one of these and give it a try!

For shrimp it's Pat's Backwater Restaurant in Fortson Georgia. For BBQ it's 13th Street BBQ in Phenix City Alabama and for steaks it's Fred & Lester's in Ft. Mitchell Alabama. Pat's has home made onion rings, jalapeno hush puppies, and a bit of horseradish in the cocktail sauce. Fred & Lester's grow their own beef, and the BBQ place is a small place that is always packed.
With Columbus Georgia literally a stone's throw across the Chattahoochee river we are blessed with good places to eat. Another is a Mexican restaurant, The Blue Iguana, that is also great. Plus they have $5 margaritas, so when we go there I drive home. It's hard to find bad place to eat around here, but Red Lobster has fallen off our list. The last three times we went there we were both disappointed.

Theres a little restaurant out here in the middle of the country Called the Log Cabin. Used to be one of the original dive bars. A new owner bought it and refurbished it to like new, Great food and atmosphere around 8:00 the lights go down and it becomes more bar than restaurant. Its a great place and also fairly reasonable. I also like Tony Packos for chilli dogs and some of their other dishes.

Well I have a few places I still go out of habit . None of them are amazing and only the service makes a few really stand out .
Oriental The Wok , clever advertising tags , Fallon 72 miles
The Wonderful House , English not so good , great Wonton soup Winnemucca 170 miles .
Mexican Seafood restaurant El Pascador, there's these shrimp poppers Reno 145 miles .
La Fiesta Fallon , not top shelf but I wouldn't discourage it , good folks .
Changing buffets
The Rotisserie in John Ascaugas Nugget , servers are always at your table , glasses don't get empty and orders don't have mistakes if they do it was a misunderstanding and the customer is always right even that loud donkey that every body in the place knows is 180 is right ........ Although it might be hard for him to get another reservation in the future .
Trader Vick's is top shelf there also for island seafood .

I haven't had a note worthy Breakfast in 15 yr .

The Pizza Barn in Fallon gets good marks
Our local Old Nevada pizza is good most of the time .

Man , a list like this makes me wonder .

BBQ yeah right .......... Sauce is a condiment not an ingredient .

Burgers
I've had a few around but none that make me want to go just for a burger .

Steaks are hit and miss .
Top Rib roast ?
The Nugget for best quality
Dealers choice of 3-5 if you just want to binge . They're all too heavy handed with the sage trying to make up for.the lack of range beef .

You've got Sticky Lips and Dinosaur both in Rochester, NY. I've eaten BBQ all over the country and there's nothing wrong with either of these places. Both very good. NYS in general doesn't have a lot of BBQ (the real deal), but they have some that's pretty decent.

[starnbar]

The places where we used to go were family owned and when mom and pop got too old to run them the kids took over and it was food out of cardboard boxes and plastic bags. There is one diner left we still go to and when pops get too old to run that one we will be sol.

Here in the hometown, Texas Inn for a western and a bowl. Mama Crockett's donut truck for fresh hot apple cider donuts in the AM.
Waffle House for the 2AM hungries 'cause I LIKE my grits. Shrimp and grits and crabs, nothing as good as Shiver Me Pinchers in South Myrtle Beach, SC. No exceptional BBQ close by, about 90 miles away in a burg called McGheayville, a joint called Hank's.
Sad truth is though, most mornings find me at Hardee's 3 miles away with a gravy biscuit and coffee(under $2 for geezers) or splurging for a ham biscuit at BoJangles. This IS making me hungry....

Albany Fish Company

[bubba.50]

forgot to mention the BP travel center 10 miles up the Interstate that fires up the smoker out back on Fridays in warm weather & turns out racks of ribs all day.

[Reverend Al]

We have a local place called "Floyd's Diner" (2 of them in town) and they are awesome. Good food and friendly staff. Been going there for years and we've never had a bad meal once. Large portions at reasonable prices.

Best BBQ I ever had was in Texas, didn't matter much where you went - cus there always seems to be a joint somewhere that served up good BBQ - sometimes just a roadside setup that served for 30 minutes, as they were sold out in that time frame.

There was a diner in Austin, Tx that had the best chicken fried steak and okra on the Wednesday lunch menu - If I could just turn back that clock.
