Super yummy!

sounds yummy !! I love Southern food!
Looking for Bo. Gemme's talking about "balls" again!

Back home in the midwest, there was a dive called Ritchie's.
Hashbrowns were homemade and they served breakfast homestyle. Big portions, homecooked and home made cakes and pies. My dad still eats there.

Another favorite place of mine to eat is Big T's in Kilgore Texas.
Better get there at 5 pm sharp, you will be standing in line!!! Everything to eat there from Tbone steak(my fav) to nachos. You can sit with ppl you dont even know!!! When you leave...you smell just like Big T's!!!

There's this place....it's not a drive in, diner and it's a little bit fancier than a dive, but if you like Chinese and Chinese fusion food it sure is good.

King Wok Buffet

All you can eat, drinks and dessert included, for about $11 per adult. They ALWAYS have steamed crab legs on one of their bars too and real ice cream with the little sugar cones. They have 5 long buffet bars and then the sushi, ice cream and drink stations and there is almost always a line for dinner.
