Best local restaurants, tell me.
What are the best restaurants in your area?
Pls post the area. Suggested categories: Best day-to-day choice? Best Asian? Best BBQ: Best Burger? Best Steak? Best fine dining? Best business lunch? ---------- Twin Cities. Best Asian is Mandarin Kitchen in Bloomington. http://www.mealmeal.com/main/member_...n=cover&mid=17 Favorite restaurant is Minneapolis Fogo De Chao (chainish, I know). http://www.fogodechao.com/index.php?id=161 Best steak: We usually don't eat steak anywhere but at home but Kincaids and the Twin City Grill (Mall of America, yeah MOA) have pretty decent filet mignon. http://www.kincaids.com/ http://twincitygrill.net/ |

Mostly Ann Arbor and some Metro Detroit Area
Suggested categories: Best day-to-day choice? Zingerman's Roadhouse (selection is very diverse and specials change weekly) Best Asian? My one exception to the area, Chinn Chinn in Mattawan (just outside of Kalamazoo), Rich JC, Tomukun or No Thai (Ann Arbor), Peking House (Royal Oak) Best BBQ: Slow's (not even a contest) Best Burger? Jolly Pumpkin, Grizzly Peak, Blimpy Burger are all solid choices but my hands-down favorite is Frita Batido's Best Steak? Chop House, Knight's (neighborhood favorite) Best fine dining? The Grange, Vinology, Pacific Rim Best business lunch? Zingerman's Roadhouse, Pizza House Added a category: Best Pizza: Pizza House |

I don't have a strong opinion on most of the categories, but for St. Louis:
Best burger: Fatted Calf, closely followed by Blueberry Hill (although BH might win for the atmosphere). Honorable mention for Seamus McDaniels Best BBQ: Pappys, Bogarts

Also from the Twin Cities:
Best day-to-day choice? Erbert & Gerbert's is a delicious chain sandwich shop - the soup is tasty, especially in the cold weather Best Asian? Not a connoisseur, so I either hit up one of the local buffets or Leann Chin Best BBQ: I'm a big fan of Baker's Ribs - they have 9 TX locations and one in MN Best Burger? Lions Tap Best Steak? I've only had it once, but Manny's makes a good steak  Best business lunch? Jimmy's in Minnetonka is solid

For Munich, I'd choose the Ruffini. Great to have breakfast on Sundays. Best cakes in the whole town, too. Good restaurant to dine as well. Best thing is, it' has a nice terrace, mixed clients and is collectively run, so great atmosphere all around. Hmm, now I'm hungry.

I'm from the DMV and am often in different places so my suggestions will be scattered all over the place. I love eating and my friends love eating so we're always out together.
Best BBQ: Chaps or Andy Nelson's. Great pit beef, and all that good stuff. Best Burger: Shake Shack in D.C. Famously known for being in NY but if you haven't had it before, seriously go out right this instant and get it. If you're looking for a small mom and pop shop, try Burger Bros. Great little burger place with quality food every time. |

Problem with living in small community... not a lot of choice. But glad I am not on Lasqueti Island (though it's close by.) A cafe... Mary Jane's. A pub and restaurant in the local small hotel - restaurant is open 3 evenings a week in the slow season...
But.... In my community - Best Coffee... take your pick, we are awash in coffee shops. Best French Pastry - the French Pastry shop. In a small community names are not really that important. Best Ribs.... the Inn. Best Pizza ... the Pasta place. Best Sushi.... Don't know, haven't tried them all. Ok.... not very useful.... sorry....

42st Oyster Bar probably tops my list for all around favorite. Good SF, good atmosphere, unpretentious. Backyard BBQ Pit is a dive but man, they got what counts which is hands down, the best Q around along with country sides. They've been on the Food Network a few times. There's also a few 5 Guys around which is my fav local burger. I've heard In-And-Out is better but we don't have one. The Angus Barn is good for steaks and company dinners and though it's fine dining it's not snobby. I've been to Ruth's Chris and Second Empire and thought the food was OK but they're not my kind of place. Mellow Mushroom makes a good pie near downtown, Milton's serves up a good pizza in North Raleigh. The latter is good because they don't mind if my kids get rowdy and I can unwind with a beer. |

I'll bite (haha)
Capital Region, NY (Albany, Schenectady, Troy Saratoga is it's own animal in this regard) Day to day? Who goes out EVERY day? Lots of sub shops for lunches, I'd have to say Capri's in Schenectady has the BEST value and great quality Asian? No comment BBQ? Lots of places, we now have a Dinosaur's (of Syracuse, Rochester and NYC fame) Burger? Jumpin Jack's is a seasonal place by the river (a morning show did a report last year on the ski show put on by this place every summer), Red Robin is great, Recovery Room is good Steak? Delmonico's Fine Dining? Barnsider Business? Albany Pump Station...
