Re: Your Favorite Local Restaurants
Tuscaloosa, AL
1. Archibald's BBQ: The best BBQ in the southeast. It's a hole in the wall with 5 stools at the bar, otherwise it's take-out.
2. Mugshot's Grill: Best burgers in town. Only 4 locations in the south I think. One at Southern Miss, one at Mississippi State, and one at Auburn I think.
3. The Original Dreamland Ribs: I'm fairly sure everyone knows about this place.
4. The Waysider Cafe: Southern breakfast. Soooooo good. Paul Bryant used to eat there every Monday morning.
5. City Cafe: Great meat and three. Dirt cheap as well. Technically in downtown Northport, but that's only 2 minutes from Tuscaloosa.Twitter

Peter Luger's is great; I grew up like 4 train stops from there. The steaks there were like butter.
There was this one Middle Eastern restaurant in Brooklyn, off of Court St (IIRC), that I loved, and used to go to all the time, called Almontaser. I could make a meal just eating the buttered pitas.Comment

Re: Your Favorite Local Restaurants
Not much other than chains in Bloomsburg, but there are some good ones:
Gourmet Buffet - your standard Chinese buffet, amazing
Balzano's - Italian restaurant, huge portions for relatively low prices
Carini - another Italian place
Cesari's Pizza - this is actually at Knoebel's, an amusement park near Bloom, but you can go there any time because the park has free admission and parking. Best pizza I've ever had by far.
LT Evans - in nearby Danville, more like a bar setup, but they have some real good foodComment

Re: Your Favorite Local Restaurants
For me, I had to leave once I had kids. It got to be a constant hassle just trying to live. Life down here is a much easier pace. That's not to say I don't miss it sometimes; the White Castle cravings can be unbelievable. My first trip back to NY after moving down here was for my wife's cousin's wedding. My wife flew up a few days ahead of me, and stayed at my mother's house with the kids, and I drove up that Friday... Did the 8 hour drive up I-95, into Jersey, into Staten Island, across the Verrazano into Brooklyn, on the BQE to Flushing Ave., drove to my mother's house, PAST my mother's house, straight to White Castle. THEN turned around and went to my mother's house. I slept very, very well that night.Comment

Thurman's Cafe. Some of the best burgers. They're huge, there's some great specialty burgers, and the wings there are good as well. Check out this link, scroll down a bit to see a picture of one of their signature burgers: http://www.thethurmancafe.com/menus
Johnny's (aka Johnny's On the Tracks). Not in the most favorable part of town and is called Johnny's on the Tracks because it's literally next to a set of train tracks. Tiny place, hole in the whole, dive bar but some of the best burgers I've ever had. Fries are good as well and everything there is cheap as hell.
The Old Mohawk. I don't really know how to describe it to somebody who hasn't been there. I guess I would homemade food with a German accent on it. They make great sandwiches like the Big Blue Ox (roast beef and bleu cheese) and the Bratwurst sandwich (as it sounds, except bigger and better).
Schmidt's. Best ever for all foods German. Has been featured on multiple tv shows, most recently man vs. food. There's not too much else to say about this place except how amazing it is.
Dublin Village Tavern. Pretty standard pub fare, everything's pretty good but nothing special. But I like it because their fish n chips is really good, and it's not easy to find good fish n chips in central Ohio.
And assuming price here is of no consequence, top notch steaks can be had at Hyde Park. This place is a pretty nice restaurant but you can also eat at the bar where they made kobe beef burgers and they're just phenomenal.Lux y VeritasComment
