My family is simple, if you mention eating out my 4 children screem Cracker Barrel.
The firts Cracker Barrel was about a 3 miles from my house and the building is still there but it is now a citgo gas station.

My favorite place is a little mexican place in the next town called Pancho Villa. They have some of the best food around, and everyone in the family loves it

Zio's Italian Restaurant

I'd have to go with Toot's. It's a restaurant that's kind of like a Hooters but more modest. Great food, there's one south of me in Murfreesboro and one up in Bowling Green, KY which is actually closer to me. I usually go to that one alot.

For me its crazzy tomato . every time we go to Murfreesboro we have to eat at toots that was my wife and her sisters hang out place when they went to MTSU.

local area resteraunt http://www.hosss.com/
if any ever gets inside the PA border and see's one of these i'd suggest giving it a try.

hey earl, that's where I hung out all the time too in the mid to late 90's when I was at MTSU.

Ya I love eating there next time your in this area we will have to eat at the new one together they have one over in colonial hights now. it was an old wendies or somthing so it has more room the the one in JC.

I like chinese!

Late at night on a college budget...Whataburger!

hometown buffet

I have never ate at a cracker barrel. That is one restaurant that we wanted to try when we where on our way to the meet, just never happened I guess.

If we are going out for chinese we go to the Mandarin.

Other than that my wife loves Boston Pizza.

Red Lobster generally speaking.

DLB

Uncle John's Office Tap in Dyersville, Iowa. I enjoy the Friday night Rib special.

Quick - Pizza Pro Buffet (Less than 10 minutes from Home) :metal:

Local - Don Poncho's Mexican / China Pan Buffet (Tied 25 min)

Semi Local - Texas De Brazil (http://www.texasdebrazil.com/) Buffet (Memphis 1 Hour Drive) :cool:

Long Distance - Fat Buddies Ribs & Chicken (Maggie Valley, NC)

BIGCHEVYMAN, it's a small world.

Danny Evins should have bought that old Cracker Barrel building back. His Uncle Herschel, the old man sitting in the rocking chair in their logo, used to sit on the front porch of that place back in the day and rock... back and forth... back and forth.

I'm just down the road from ya in Lebanon.

Me? I like to go to Chef Wangs in Murfreesboro. Their Mongolian BBQ (just a fancy name for open grill stir frying) is awesome. I load up with a ton of shrimp and eat till I almost puke. haha Be careful telling them that you like it hot there though. The little Chinese fella there will accomodate ya big time.

Looks like Tennessee is represented fairly well in this thread. :metal:

Chinese (P.F. Chang) The best Chinese you can find my opinion

Chinese (P.F. Chang) The best Chinese you can find my opinion
P.F. Chang's is really good, just a little to pricey for me. I'll eat there when somebody else is paying. lol There's one in Franklin, TN near my Mother's home. I like their lettuce wraps (yeah, I know - FuFu. lol).

it is a little pricey but you get a lot for your money

My family and I love Chinese at a little place called Cheng's in Tucson. We used to get it delivered when we lived near the UofA. They close4d that one down, and the other one on the northwest side of town isn't quite as good, but still better than anywhere else!! PF Chang's is way too pricey and the food is OK. I like teriyaki chicken, not hard to do but I am pickey and too sweet or salty and I can't stand it. I have come to appreciate Samuari Sam's fast teriyaki!!

Quick - Chipotle
Slightly Slower - Ruby's BBQ

There are a LOT of other places I need to try here, so I'm sure that will change...

do you rember when they ran a truck through the old cracker barrell when filming a movie?
I was about 12 years old and was there watching when they done it.
Since your one of my lebanon people, have you been to peking chineese?
That is my second favorite place to eat.
I grew up in the lebanon mt. juliet area. I kinda miss living there.

Nah, I don't remember that. What movie?

Peking is one of my favorite local eateries. Their hot and sour soup is the best around. I don't know what's in it, and probably don't want to know lol, but it sure is good.

I like Lebanon. I've only lived here about 15 years. I'm from Franklin. That's my hometown (although I was an Army brat - Ft. Campbell). Danny Evins daughter is a good friend of ours. Her sons and my kids grew up together. Do you remember Meachum's Restaurant in the Kroger plaza? Their Honey Glazed Beef Tips were to die for.

thats the problem with living in a tourist destination theres hundreds of great places to choose from

the one i go to most often is the CHARLY HORSE SALLOON on A1A in ormond beach then theres BERTIES LUNCHONETTE for breakfast

I can't rember the name of the movie. It was some truck driving movie.
Yes i rember meachams very well, that was a great place to eat.
Are you going to the car show at the fair grounds this weekend? I seen it posted on craigslist , i just have a few shows around here i want to go to, if it was not for those i would be there.

Car show? No, I hadn't heard about it. What kind? They had a Mopar show weekend before last. I didn't go until Sunday afternoon. Missed most everything. My future son-in-law is into the mini-trucks. He goes to Slammin' n' Jammin'. I went one year. It was okay. I'll probably go back. My favorite was the bikini contest. haha

i'm bnot sure what kind of show it is. i will try to find the link for you
