I am taking a break from my usual Thursday Thirteen routine of giving tips, recommendations, or ideas. This week, since I still feel like I am on vacation (the kids aren’t doing school) I am listing 13 of my favorite restaurants.
- Five Guys – Cheap, fast, and good.
- Panera – A little less cheap, fast, and consistently good.
- Steak and Shake – People who know me will tell you that I will drive a good distance out of my way for a steak burger and some chili.
- Outback– Two words…. Cheese Fries.
- Freemason Abbey – If you are ever in Norfolk, VA you must eat here. It isn’t cheap, but the food is amazing, the atmosphere is great (it is in a converted church), and I have never had bad service.
- Lynnhaven Fishhouse Virginia Beach, VA – right on the water, great seafood and steak, excellent service.
- Sol de Mexico – A hole in the wall place in VA Beach. Great authentic Mexican food. The prices aren’t bad and they are fast.
- Cafe’ Bella Franklin, WV – Where you can get the best manicotti in the same place you can get a fried pork chop, only in rural WV.
- White Wolf Cafe Orlando, Fl – good food, eclectic atmosphere, you can shop and eat.
- Cafe Alcazar St. Augustine, Florida – Eat your lunch in the bottom of an indoor pool, in a museum, different, fun, and artsy.
- Cantlers Annapolis, Maryland – A downhome place where the waitresses still call you hon’ and sweetie. Fresh crab delivered right to your table.
- Amigos Altamonte Springs, FL – Great Tex-Mex, casual atmosphere, and pretty inexpensive.
- Readers Choice – What is your favorite dining spot?
