Lonestar Steak House Midvale, UT
Lone Star has become one of our favorite hangs now that we do not go to Oyster Bar anymore. The service is always good, even if we show up way late. EXCELLENT burgers!
Gandolfo's New York Deli Salt Lake City, UT
I'm with everyone else. Gandolfo's ROCKS! Quizno's is not bad for a sandwich chain, but they still taste "processed" to me. Gandolfo's ingredients and interesting variety of sandwiches put them on the top of the heap.
Chicago Hamburger Co Phoenix, AZ
Way yummy, and pretty darned authentic. The cheese sliders are right on. Chicago dogs are as close as you'll get in this town, and perhaps the state. Unfortunately they aren't as good as those at our AAA baseball park in Salt Lake City or I'd have given 5 stars.
La Caille Restaurant Corp Sandy, UT
For anyone who knows anything about fine dining, La Caille is a total joke. Yes, the grounds are beautiful, and yes the waitresses show a bunch of cleavage, but PLEASE! Neither have anything to do with haute cuisine. The food is average at best...I only remember my lobster bisque. The service is totally laughable and unprofessional. Our server, not realizing the bottle of champagne was too warm, opened it and let half of it bubble over and spill onto the floor. When we demanded a full, properly chilled bottle she came back and poured into my glass, tilting it like it was a beer stein. Total freaking ripoff!
Nypd Pizza Scottsdale, AZ
Popped in for lunch and was very impressed. Good service in a nice place, excellent pizza and icy mugs of beer. How can you go wrong?
Los Olivos Mexican Patio Scottsdale, AZ
My first Arizona Mex meal, and still one of my favorites, cetainly nostalgic. Friends had raved about Los Olivos for years...when I finally got there I knew what they were talking about. Old school, down home Mex done right, and the setting is lovely.
El Charro Tucson, AZ
I love El Charro...usually have dinner at the downtown location and lunch (almost always Carne Seca Tacos done Baja Style). <br> Service may not be the greatest, but the food is wonderful...especially anything with Carne Seca...their's is supposedly the first, and it is certainly the finest I have enjoyed in my trips to Tucson.
On the Border Mexican Cafe Tucson, AZ
Decent Tex Mex chain, reasonably priced, nice atmosphere. While there are certainly dozens of worthy Sonoran-style places in Tucson, if you're looking for a different style of Mex you could do worse than On The Border.
Salsa Brava Flagstaff, AZ
Been eating at Salsa Brava for years...back to when they just had the narrow space in the strip mall on Butler. Now they've expanded the first place and added a second out on Rt 66 and have managed to do so while maintaining their consistency. The salsa bar is wonderful. Fave dishes include the Baja Rolls and Spinach and Portobello enchiladas.
Herrera Mexican Restaurant Dallas, TX
My fave TexMex going back to high school and the original location on Maple (catty corner from the current Maple digs). The best salsa, best flour tortillas and best Tex Mex in town.
Cafe Brazil Dallas, TX
Great place...especially after a night out doing Big D. Broad selection...healthy portions with some unique dishes. Definitely worth a visit, any time of day.
Chuy's Restaurant Dallas, TX
Chuy's ROCKS! Great swirl margaritas. Love those ultra thin chips and good salsa. My fave is number 4...cheese enchilada with chile gravy and the world's best crispy chile relleno (cheese) with that fabulous Deluxe Tomatilla sauce.
Peggy Sue B B Q Dallas, TX
Brisket was dry as a bone. Sides were good, sausage OK. Sauce is fair, the hot version is better. Maybe I'll try ribs if I go back, but I prefer places that have good brisket.
Sonny Bryan's Barbecue Dallas, TX
Whoever was talking about waiters must be talking about some other place...there are no waiters at the Inwood Rd location, which is THE Sonny Bryan's to enjoy. <br> A couple of brisket sannies, some O-rings with a bottle of sauce to pour on them. <br> YUM!
Dickey's Barbecue Pits Dallas, TX
Good, consistent Q. Awesome selection of side dishes. My 3rd favorite sauce behind Sonny Bryan's and Solly's.
Pappas Bar-B-Q Dallas, TX
Good Q...get a stuffed baked potato. I wouldn't drive out of my way for Q and go to Pappas, but if I was in the area and was craving smoked meat I would stop in in a heartbeat.
Solly's Bar-B-Que Restaurant Dallas, TX
Too bad that Solly's is gone forever. The BEST potato salad and kickbutt slaw. Fabulous double-cooked fries. Excellent brisket and sausage and my 2nd favorite sauce. BOOHOO!
Fonda San Miguel Restaurant Austin, TX
Unbelievably good Continental Mex with strong traditional roots. The brunch is the BOMB. If you like it spicy ask for some of their chipotle salsa.
Pappasito's Cantina Austin, TX
Huge portions of solid, if not remarkable TexMex. The Pappas family does a good job, even if they are not totally authentic.
Threadgill's Austin, TX
Awesome veggies, and pretty darned good CFS. Good atmosphere and service...this is an Austin institution that everyone should try at least once.
