Rhode Island Olyneyville System Weiners. They're like a small hot dog but made of pork covered in a home made secret hamburg meat sauce, mustard, celery salt and onions. They're only made in RI.
Spike's Junk Yard Dogs...This is a small chain in RI that has amazing all beef dogs on fresh baked rolls and a ton of topping combinations to choose from. Wings To Go...small local chain with great buffalo wings and fingers. They also have other sauce combinations. Boston Area Kelley's Roast Beef New Haven, CT Frank Pepe's Pizza DC Area I completely agree with Five Guys Burgers and also California Tortilla. Los Angeles I can't believe no one has mentioned Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. Their fried chicken is amazing!!! Houston Area Papa's BBQ Good suggestions! I can agree with you on the Houston attraction... I went to dinner with a friend at the Pappas Steakhouse, it was great! And on another trip I even got some tex-mex at the airport at Pappasito's... good stuff! Thanks for reminding me about the Boston area Kelly's... I'm driving up to Weston, MA tomorrow morning hopefully I could find one for lunch! --Russ |
Gotta' jump in and say, 'WHAAAAA...' I miss Skyline Chilli!!! A 3 or 4 way with extra cheese and a couple of coneys to push it down with saved me many a time at 3:00 AM after a night of clubbing in my younger days.
Fat Burger in SoCal. ^ Far better than In-and-Through Ya'. Not really fast food but, for someone that rarely eats deserts, the fresh peach pie in the summertime at Coco's in SoCal. That's worth a special trip for me. |
I like Kaspar's Hot Dogs (Oakland, CA)
Ben's Chili Bowl (in DC) Buffalo Wing Univerisity (Fairfax, VA) Glory Days (not really fast food, but worth the wait) My brother says, Chipotle, Baja Fresh, Five Guys (I agree). |
"2 Sliders & A Side of Grease!"
Easy -- Jack's Drive-In in Wynantskill, New York. They have been around about 50 years, have only one location, and serve only hot dogs, hamburgers (i.e. "sliders"), and, fairly recently, branched out into French fries.
Brought some to my future wife on our wedding day. (We got married in Wynantskill.) Then, I became a distance runner and started to eat healthier. I haven't had a Jack's in probably 10 years. http://albany.citysearch.com/profile...drive_inn.html |

Pei Wei just opened a location near me here in Virginia. Any reviews or comments? Seems they are mostly in the west/southwestern USA.

This chain is basically P.F. Chang's Jr. (i.e. subsidiary of). Great lettuce wraps.

Although there were unpleasantries between the Horton family and Ron Joyce with respect to the latter buying out the Hortons' share of the company, Timmy's is still the place I seek out when I want a doughnut. Their soups are yummy as well, and $C2.60 for soup and a bread roll - nice.
Haven't read all the pages, but for those who fancy Rubio's, there are two or three branches in PHX. I'm completely hooked on Carolina's, though, and will happily eat there every day when in PHX. All that melted cheese cannot be good for one's arteries, but I just don't care. The enchilada sauce is a poem, so full of flavour ..... :cool: |
I had my first Tim Horton's experience in London, Ontario
The little rolls they had with the soups were outstanding. The sandwich my dad got was also great, something about that bread was unlike a typical fast food place in the US of A.... I noticed quite a few Tim Horton's too in the Rhode Island and Southeast Connecticut on one of my New England road trips. Haven't visited it though on that occasion because my friends recommended a little hole in a wall place called Two Little Fish restaurant. --Russ |
If you are ever in Kansas City you have got to go get you a Hi Boys burger. Not Big Boys, but Hi Boy. As far as I know there are only two locations left for this chain in KC. Once of them is on 40 highway at Stadium Drive and the other is one 291 Highway up by 23rd street. Best burger around IMO.

Now, the Eastern PA folks will now come out and talk about WaWa. I've only been in them once, and they seem to be similar to Sheetz.
Jim's Steaks is probably the best local chain for cheesesteaks in the Philly area. Yum! |

Los Angeles
Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles...what a fun combination! |

Five Guys Burgers is no longer just in the mid-Atlantic states. They are all over the midwest and south now. There are close to 20 locations in Georgia now, with most concentrated in the Atlanta area.

Looks like a trailer-trash convention most nights. Oddly, you will spend as much in there as in a fairly fine-dining restaurant. Way better, but I think it's a large chain is Outback. At least the one near me is real good.
