Default Your 2 favorite restaurants??

What are your 2 favorites? First fast food... and then a nice place to dine?

I'd pick Long John Silvers for fast food. But they'r sort of expensive when you're feeding 6. So McDonalds is more in my price range.

Around here we don't have any really fancy restaurants. Nothing that requires suit & tie or a reservation. So I'll go with Garfields. It's a nice quiet place. Low lighting. Great food. Nice romantic place to go...although they do the birthday songs and are located in the mall. *laughs*

1. Bella Notte's in Lexington, KY - it is an awesome awesome italian restaurant and their bread + herb oil for dipping is to die for!

2. Indian Restaurant in Vancouver, BC. I don't know the name of it, but we went there on our honeymoon and it was one of the best meals i've ever eaten.

For everyday run and and grab a quick dinner we like Chili's and Outback. We don't have any great places around here. For fancy we like The Melting Pot, but the best food we've had was Emeril's in Atlanta.

Subway is great for a walk in and grab it. Also there's a sandwich shop in Vancouver BC call Bo Jangles. WOW! YUMMY!!!

For good fancy food.... Our favorite is on a corner in a Greek village.
Closer to home. The local steak house.

My favorite place to eat is the Smoker's Pit Barbecue in West Ocean City. It's run by a retired couple and they make everything from scratch. Everyone that goes there tells them how good their food is. Last time I went, I heard them talking about someone shipping their food to Canada. These guys make both sandwiches, ribs, pork chops, tuna, everything home style. It's cheating, but this place fits both fast food and a real restaurant. But if I had to pick a fast food place that's my favorite, it's Roy Roger's restaurants. They're a local place that was started by the Marriott family, then sold during the Marriott troubles in the 1990's to Arbys, that thought they could convert them to Arbys. They tried, and then refitted them back to Roy Rogers. Then sold them to McDonalds, who really wanted the locations, and tore most of the down. But a son in law of the Marriott's had a franchise, and so there are still about a dozen left. They make great fried chicken and roast beef sandwiches. My favorite is the Double R Bar Burger, which is a hamburger topped with ham. It's best with the special BBQ sauce and topped with LTM.

Fast food would be Long John Silvers and nice restaurant around here would be Olive Garden or Jean Bonnet Tavern. Jeanbonnettavern.com It is a historic place and people have even claimed to have ghost sightings there (though I never have).

We dont have any real "fancy" places around us. Closest city to me is about 2.5 hours away for that.

Favorite fast food restuarant would have to be Wendy's... Hubby got me started on them when he was a trucker & I rode with him for about 6 months.

Favorite fancy dinner place is this Italian place up in Oklahoma City, about a 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive from here. Everyone I know actually orders dessert first there because if you eat the whole dinner you order, you won't have any room for their desserts & their triple chocolate cake (I think that's what it's called) is to die for.

Favorite close sit down restaurant would have to be Fire Mountain. They mainly do buffet, but even their buffet food is delicious. Maybe I'm just biased because I don't get to eat out very often
