    Must-Eat, Can't Miss Restaurants/Diners/Dives

    I think that it would be a great idea for fellow OS'rs to weigh in on their can't miss restaurants in their towns/cities. This could come in handy for those of us that travel to see sports, or travel to get away.

    I'm from Orlando, but have spent the past 5 years in Tallahassee at FSU. The places you must eat at if you're here in Tallahassee are:

    Piggy's BBQ
    Outstanding BBQ, mouthwatering brisket, pulled pork, ribs, etc... It's all great. If you want BBQ in Tally, go here.

    Well's Brothers Bar and Grill
    Formerlly Monk's, this place cooks some of the best burgers around, along with their burger challenge (7 9 oz patties smothered in cheese). Their specialty burgers include "The Lip Smacker" topped with smoked bacon and cheddar cheese and slathered with creamy peanut butter; served on a kaiser roll, "The California" smothered with fresh avocados, tomato sprouts, swiss, and cream cheese on a kaiser roll (I usually get this and add a fried egg), and "The Mulhauser" topped with Uncle Monk’s famous chili, house made coleslaw, red onions, cheddar cheese and yellow mustard on a kaiser roll. This is easily my favorite place to sit down, watch baseball, drink some beers and eat a gut busting burger.

    Bird's Oyster Shack
    Great oyster bar; karaoke, great beer specials, live music, trivia... Great place to go with a group of friends for happy hour.

    Po' Boys
    Great creole restaurant offering outstanding Po Boy sandwiches along with other Cajun cuisine. Live music, happy hours, etc... Great place to go to unwind and eat.

    Gordo's
    One of my favorite places to grab lunch or dinner in Tallahassee. Outstanding Cuban food, I could sit down and eat 40 of their Media Noche sandwiches.

    There is also one place I've been dying to go after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain... The Silver Palm in Chicago to eat the Three Little Pigs Sandwich...

          Salt Rock in Indian Rocks Beach, FL. - Great Steaks and Seafood but expensive

          Mr. Dunderbaks in New Tampa, FL - Great German food and a great beer selection

          The Moon Under Water in St. Petersburg, FL. - A British Colonial Pub with great curries and traditional English fare. Also, a good beer selection.

          Columbia Restaurant Ybor City, Tampa FL. Top notch Spanish/Cuban food. A Tampa Tradition for over 105 years. Great Sangria to boot!

            If passing through the Northern Virginia section of I-95 this summer (Woodbridge area), and you feel the need to grab a bite... make a stop at DixieBones for some GREAT Southern food/BBQ.

              My uncle lives in Tampa Bay, Fl and when we go to visit him and his family, we go to this place called The Crab Shack. It looks awful on the outside, but the Blue Crab claws are awesome, and the Poo Boy is the bomb.

              If your ever in Indiana, just look in the menu's for breaded tenderloin sandwich. It is a staple of any good Hoosier's diet. Plus 2 of the 3 best tenderloin sandwiches are found in Indiana. Just go to The Riley House in Greenfield, IN home of the best tenderloin in America.

                I love me some Jucy Lucy. I was just at Huberts post Twins-Brewers in May, had their deep fried Jucy Lucy, it was unbelievable.

                      Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem(the good side), Easily as good of BBQ you will find in NYC. The one in Syracuse(the Original) is the best but the NYC location is still great.

                        What seem to be a growing chain in VA/NC called Plaza Azteca...The Burrito San Jose. Very much the meal.

                            Me N Ed's Pizza. Various locations, mostly in central California. The perfect combination of crisp and pillow, just absolute heaven. My favorite pizza ever. Also in California/Nevada/Arizona....In-N-Out Burger.

                            In Phoenix, Pizzeria Bianca. Just utterly fantastic pizza.

                            In Kansas City, Stroud's Fried Chicken, as well as many BBQ places. Arthur Bryants, LCs, Oklahoma Joe's, BB's Lawnside...

                            In St. Louis, anywhere in Little Italy.

                            In Chicago, I loved Lou Malnatis' pizza, as well as Al's #1 Beef.

                              Better than the BBQs that's down in Time Square? If so I'll definitely check that spot out the next time im in NY.
