BW3, mango-habanero wings are a constant craving for me.

And Chick-fil-a nuggets, I could eat 40-50 at one time.

Regards,
Brian

In no particular order....

White Castle....Yep thier marketing guys struck gold with the "Taste you Crave" Most either love'em or hate them, but I love'em

Steak and Shake....I like the "steakburgers" and enjoy table service in a kinda diner type atmosphere.

Waffle House....Scattered, Smothered, Covered and Chunked. Need I say more?

Panera...I hate to admit it :oops: , I avoided this place like the plauge for a long time and finally gave in to my wife's plea's(You'll like it she promised).
But it is usually very good, although it is a bit pricey for a sandwich.

Taco Bell...I know I'll get slammed on this, but I love tacos and they are very conveninent. Also, the spicy chicken burrito is very flavorful for a fast food offering.

Texas Roadhouse/Logan's Steakhouse.... These two are interchangeable and are both pretty good for low end steak places..I would have included Outback but feel that they are kinda lacking lately.

Cracker Barrel.... It used to be better, but for what it is, it ain't too bad, particularly the breakfast offerings.

California Pizza Kitchen has many a tasty item. I tried the Mango Tandori Chicken pizza today for lunch and it was very good. Authentic indian flavors in a pizza.

BW3 has good wings. The afore mentioned mango habanero wings are amazing. Apparently there is something about mango and hot that appeals to me.

Bonefish is excellent

Carrabbas is well above average.

Here's another vote for Waffle House. For the last year and change I've eaten breakfast there every single day.

I also really like PF Chang's (their kung pao anything is just amazing). As for fast food, Penn Station, Skyline and La Bamba top the list.

Steak N Shake, although I've never strayed from the Frisco melt.

Ralleys, greasy, sloppy, great!

Bravo's, kills the olive garden

I also notice that a lot of people really like BW3's, I eat there 6-8 times a year so I do enjoy it, but it seems to me that a place that has wings in the name would have better wings, I think their biggest problem is that they put cold sauce on hot wings driving down the temperature making the wings soggy.....I think I'll start a wing thread.

My son-in-law has been working at Culver's since they first opened. They are located at the corner of Hurstbourne Lane and Watterson Trail. It's an interesting combination of fast food burgers, salads, frozen custard goodies and fast food down home dinners (strange, I know) like pot roast, pork tenderloin sandwiches and ribeye sandwiches. I stopped in yesterday at 2pm to pick up my SIL and the place was quite busy! At 2pm! They call their burgers "Butterburgers" (my arteries are clogging as I write) Anyway, it's actually really good and everyone can find SOMETHING they like to eat!

All of the Pappas concepts and Landry's seafood are my favorites.

Seconds or Thirds to:
Panera
Steak and Shake (also a Frisco Melt fan!)
Carrabas
Bonefish
California Pizza Kitchen

Additionals:
RainForest Cafe (I know it's kitchey but that's half the fun- we may go to Chicago just to take our 3 year old there: he'll flip)

Lettuce Entertain You company Restaurants (out of Chicago)

Jim & Nicks Barbeque - we discovered them in Destin, and found another outside of Nashville- great place to get food if you are Road Tripping on HWY 65. It was cheaper than fast food and can't compare!

You should go to the Nashville one, which is much closer. It's near Opryland.
