"Whenever I'm in _____, I have to eat at _____"

[chevyguy]

Dad always went on about The Big Top

 

[johntheplinker]

How could I forget! Washington and the White Steamer!

 

[Indhawkeye]

I’m not sure about the Big Shoe. In fact, I don’t think I’ve been there before.
My car always stops at The Copper Bar whenever I go to Terre Haute. Fried Mushrooms and Italian Beef Sandwich.

Lafayette - Budges Drive In (aka Budges Burgers back in the day) Small, greasy hamburgers... the kind where the grease soaks through the bag.

Whenever I’m in St Louis I have to eat at IMO’s...........multiple times.

Lafayette - I have to agree with Doggy, Budges on N.14th for old school burgers and a Chocolate Boston shake.

West Lafayette - Brunos just below Chauncey Hill for pizza.

Louisville - Mussel & Burger Bar on S.7th for a wide variety of foods but they have the most amazing burger selection I've seen and yes their mussels are delicious. If you have the chance you need to give them a visit. By far not your ordinary burger joint, top shelf establishment.

Cuba, MO. Friscos steak house, best ribeye there is.

40 years ago I would agree.

Not quite that old, but I still like it

They do (or did) have a buffet that was OK. Before the brothers split and the restaurant was run by the father off Hwy 41, it was really good. Great strawberry pie to boot.

I hear people say this, around here yeah their Stroms are awesome but there is much better pizza to be had. Are there better Pizza Kings?

Not all Pizza Kings are the same.
When I am in Greensburg, the wife has to eat at Pizza King.

 

[walleyepw]

Sault Ste. Marie, West Peir or Clydes. Some great greasy burgers.

Munising, MI, Eh! Burger

Whenever close to Madison WI, stop in to Middleton and go to the Hubbard Ave Diner. If you like awesome desserts, you'll be in heaven. The rest of their meals are very very good, but the desserts are out of this world. Well worth the road trip!

My mother lives on Crystal River and she loves Charlies, im a Swampys fan myself.

Awesome, I grew up in Crystal River, the folks moved me up here when I was 12....

We called it the Oyster Bar back then, before they moved into the new building.

I know where that is - right by the Mustard Museum. I might head up there in a couple of weeks.

If I shoot at ACC, i have to go to Ericka's Place in Cicero!

My wife has talked this place up quite a bit. It is definitely on my list if i ever get down there.

Whenever I'm in Leavenworth, IN I have to eat at The Overlook.

The south, WHATABURGER!

Another good haunt in Kokomo is: Julianno's. Corner of Markland Ave and Dixon Road. They make their own everything. No GFS crap. Neil even does his own barbecue and Chicago style dogs. My wife loves his potato salad but it goes quick.

The last 3 times I've stopped at Juliannos they have been out of coleslaw!!! How can you have pulled pork w/o coleslaw???

Now we ask, if they are out, keep driving...
