Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives

I love to go out to eat. I consider Myself an amateur food critic.
In My town, we have the best steakhouse around.
Called The Northwood's Inn.
They have different cuts of steak, including porterhouse which is to die for. The dinners are served with 2 salads. A red cabbage with redwine vinegar and oil, and, a green salad with this incredible dressing! Then their garlic-cheese bread is outstanding. You also get a baked potato with their very own cheese butter. Can you tell us about your favorite "greasy spoon" type, place. The one where all the locals go in your town? Favorite barbecue, sushi, seafood etc.

Wow...that sounds incredible. I don't know if I can top it.

I love to eat out. Most recently, I took my daughter out for dinner at a pub nearby called Scarborough's. It has all kinds of sandwiches, pastas, appetizers...you know the type. I had the Shrimp Piccata. It was the best thing I've had in a long time. The shrimp were just huge--the biggest I've ever eaten. Lots of garlic, parmesan cheese, capers, lemon, and olive oil over linguini. It was amazing. Now I'm hungry.

Best food around here comes out of our kitchen...no joke.

There is an out of the way place in the midwest in the country called the Pink Poodle. They were known for their huge cut of steak called a "Diamond Jim" cut. It is so big they don't serve anything with it except your drink.

One of the best holes in the wall in Omaha is Joe Tess' known for the best catfish ever; deep fried catfish ribs served on rye bread and hot sauce with a mound of jacket fries and slaw.
Chowed down with red beer. Everyone would order two dinners each because we couldn't get enough.

Mmmm... This thread title made me think of one place right off the bat. We have a great bbq place in Asheville (NC) that was actually featured on the show with said title...lol It's called 12 Bones. Even President Obama ate there when he was vacationing in Asheville last weekend! lol Their pulled pork sandwich is absolutely to die for. The bbq just melts in your mouth...yummy... They usually only open for lunch, between 11a-2p and if you don't get there early you stand in line outside. (And yes, they even made our President stand in line. No special treatment even for him...lol) They now have two locations in the area, and are considering expanding their hours. If you enjoy bbq and you're ever in the area, I highly recommend it!

My favorite place to eat is a place in Greenville Mississippi.
Doe's Eat Place! Its been there since 1940 I think. Best Steaks in the world, and damn good hot tamales too!!!
