What's your favorite....

restaurant to dine out at and what do you love to order? (Have we done this one before?) What about fast food places too? :yum:




I love to eat at this little mexican restaurant called Mango's that is not a chain and it is fresh and so yummy! I love their shredded meat tacos and their fresh fruit smoothies.


Hmmmm, fast food is harder...depends on my mood. Today I would say Baja Fresh. I would order those loaded nachos.

What about you? 8)

You've made me hungry!

My favorite restaurant is a small Italian place called Bella Monica. Romantic atmosphere and great food. I always order their Baked Ziti. Yum!

Favorite fast food...and pretty much the only fast food I'll eat...is In-N-Out. They are mostly located in California and a few other surrounding states, so we only get to eat there when we visit family. We're heading to California for Christmas...t-minus 18 days till my next In-N-Out burger...my mouth is watering already! I miss In-N-Out so badly that my dream is to open a franchise here in NC!

Oh Erica...I can't BELIEVE I didn't mention In-N-Out. We have it here in AZ too and I go through brief periods of obsession for their burgers and shakes! Yum, now you've made ME hungry! They are just a quick trip down the road from here.....I'll go eat one soon and think of you. Kidding. Enjoy it when you are in CA soon!!!

Oh, I'm so jealous! Get extra grilled onions for me please!!

My fav. restaurant has to be:
Texas Roadhouse I love to get the chicked fried steak...yummy
The best part about that place has to be the cinnamon flavored butter they serve with their hot rolls.

My fav. fast food restaurant is by far Chick-fil-A:
Which they only have in the south...bummer so I never get to go since Im up North...however Menlo Park Mall in NJ has one and when my bf and I go back to visit his family that is always a stop now that I've got him addicted to that place as well.

Hrm. I don't know whether sushi at Pacific East, Italian at Marotta's (LOVE their gnocchi!), or pub food at Brennan's Colony (we always get nachos to start) wins!

I don't really eat fast food these days but if someone put McDonald's french fries in front of me I don't think I could resist.

Jessica,

Don't tell me you have a Del Taco nearby too! I'm just dying for a breakfast burrito and green burrito!! Their 69 cent burritos allowed us to pay the bills through med school & residency! I just found out there's a Del Taco in Georgia. DH and I are seriously thinking of making the 6-hour trek down there to get our Del Taco fix in between California visits! Pretty pitiful, huh??

:> uh, yes, we do have a Del Taco too. I have never even gone there and tried anything. Sounds like I should start. CGR, we also have a chickfil-A. In the mall and a drive thru. Ok, I have to stop high jacking this thread with all the fast food glories we have here in AZ. LOL

Yum! Fun topic!

My favorite restaurant is Frontera Grill, which is owned by Rick Bayless of PBS fame. They don't take reservations, so the wait can be 2+ hours, but it's always worth it. The menu changes regularly, so I like to try things from different regions each time.

I also love a little Thai place in my old neighborhood. It's inexpensive and fast, and the owners are really friendly. And the food is delicious!! The last time I was there I had wild boar curry.

My favorite fast food is Sonic Drive-In, but we don't have that up here. So, I like Chipotle or Baja Fresh.

CGR8979--my dh shares your liking for chic-fil-a. We live in Missouri, where there are none, but we road trip to KS (Topeka) to eat at their food court just for chic-fil-a. I don't share the same passion for it, but I eat it occasionally. If we fly anywhere South, dh always arranges it so we have a layover in Atlanta. They have a chic-fil in terminal A.
My favorite nice restaurant would have to be Wild Fire in Chicago. They have served the best prime rib I've ever had in my entire life!
For fast food, I usually go for Arby's. I can't get enough of those cherry turnovers.

For nice dining, we like Bonefish Grill- fresh seafood, Atlantic or Gulf and great appetizers and Ceasar's Salad. It's kind of a sexy little place in Destin, not many kids.....only when we go!

For fast dining, the boys like Wendy's....they always have white meat chicken nuggets that are edible! DW loves Sonic....I like Arby's.

There's a little family-owned restaurant in our neighborhood that we LOVE - Thai Spice. That's where we tend to go when we want to "splurge" on a meal. We've gotten the kids so addicted to Thai food that when we were in D.C. this last summer/fall they ate up everything they could at the Thai festival they hold off of Pennsylvania Ave!

The other place I like is this little pannederia (sp?) in San Antonio that I cannot for the life of me remember its name. But, we go there whenever we're in town.

Alison- Next time I come to Cleveland I will meet you at the Colony! Yum!

Hah, I had you in mind as I typed that, Jennifer -- and am now reminded that I have yet to try the margaritas at Lopez.

TJs in Pennington,NJ. A small Italian restaurant. I usually spend 10 minutes looking at the menu, and 99% of the time I order "Shrimp and Angel Hair". It is Angel hair pasta,shrimp, borccoli and kalamata olives in a white wine,garlic and olive oil. I always order it with extra olives and usually have two glasses of Pinot Grigio. I'm getting hungry now!!!
