won't touch speedy wok.
g&I caf I have been to for breakfast once. it was good.

where is the wash seafood at in gville? Same stuff/prices?
I like the one in Washington. They always hook me up well and I have yet to get anything bad from them.

Its beside red robin in the same building where the theater is. They took the spot that east coast wings used to be in. I had it last week and it was really good.

Speedy wok used to be awesome but I havent had it in 4 or 5 years since I moved to the west side

In NC.. Come Back Shack in Boone is my favorite place. Several other favorites that I have found in Ohio, NE on hunting trips and will not even begin to talk about all the local places I have eaten that were just awesome on business trips around this and several other countries.

None of it really tops Conman's in June though.. for all you guys that never show up there, you are simply missing out.
Come Back Shack has an awesome Tuna Burger

Must not have had many burgers then! I tried it last year and wouldn't never go back not even for a free burger!
I haven’t eaten there in probably 20 years. I didn’t even realize they were still open. I thought they were good though, maybe I was just real hungry.

Lansing - Pie On The Mountain - Simply the best pizza & calzones in the state.

My previous reply was a little harsh. I've taken some time to rethink it.

We used to eat there 2 times a week. I live 4 minutes away.

Over the past year, their quality and customer service has dropped, significantly. (Unless it's changed in the last 4 months.)

I'd crawl to Bobby D's, before I drove there for a meal.

Biscuits N Porn in Nags Head. Best biscuits in Dare County and the lunch specials aren’t bad either.
Agreed. There and Kevin's in Currituck put a timer in the biscuits though. You better be ready to drop the kids off at the pool in an hour or less.

flo’s kitchen in Wilson is the same way. Cat head biscuits with 1 lb of cheese baked in. Heck any business that delineates their drive-through lane with lard buckets is going to be good.

I only got to eat there twice last year and both meals were mandatory take-out only. Maybe it's covid caused/related. I'll give them another try when I'm trout fishing soon.

One of the best “eating trips” I ever had was to Costa Rica. The seafood and fruit were amazing. Was in Jaco. The taco bar was awesome, cheap, fresh fish tacos. The seats around the bar were like swing set wooden seats. The wishbone in Jaco had a poki bowl that was incredible! Need to get back there one day.

We've given several "chances" since this started. Aside from nearly inedible pizza(that grew increasingly more difficult to eat the longer covid went on), the straw that broke the camel's back was; being the only customer in the restaurant, having all 5 employees(including the manager) watch me walk in, and standing there waiting 5-10 minutes before anyone asked why I was there(with my pizzas just sitting on the counter.)

Knowing the quality they were capable of, we kept returning, hoping it was a fluke. For us, and many we know, it wasn't.

Looking forward to your assessment. I hope they've returned to their pre-pandemic ways.

If you’re ever in the big city of Staley, Main Street grill is tough to beat for breakfast or lunch. No seating, just walk in and order. All the locals simply refer to it as “sammy’s” for the name of of the man that owns/runs it. He’s about as good a man as you’ll ever find.

if youre on 421 near Liberty, THIS is just off the Rd, and they have a carport with table under to sit at BUT he caters a lot of gatherings in both Randolph and Chatham counties.

Speaking of Texas, if you're ever in the Austin area don't miss Black's Bar B Q. I know they have one in Austin and the original is in Lockhart just south of Austin. Good stuff and the pecan pie is worth flying to Texas for.

love the mussels at Ruddy ducks. All the food has been great there.

don't bother with sanitary seafood. not sure why you would ever fry ALL of your fresh seafood. You can get the same flavor from year old frozen. lol
