Whats the best restaurant .....

[ken56]

You know, the most memorable places you have enjoyed a great meal while you've been on the road. #1. We went to Gaidos in Galveston TX. and I had a fantastic seafood platter, the wife had their prime rib. Fantastic. Nice place with interesting history. The bread pudding for dessert was the absolute best I have EVER had.

#2 was Taste of Louisiana Café in Denham Springs LA. Its a little town outside of Baton Rouge. Here I had a smoked sausage Po'boy and wife had a French dip sandwich. Now, this place is a cute little hole in the wall in a quaint antique store filled down town type of burg. What an unexpected treat this place was. Food was fantastic and the people were wonderful. Dessert was a blue berry cheese cake parfait and wow, I wanted to lick the cup it came in. People at a table over from us heard us saying how good it was and tried to order one. We got the last one.

So what gems have you found??

3 places stand out to me...

Drive-In restaurant outside of Bar Harbor, ME Had the best fish sandwich ever there

Cafe at Crawford, TX Had the best hamburger and dessert I have ever eaten

Eons of years ago on the way to Eureka Springs, AR, way past lunch time, couldn't find a place to eat. Finally found June's cafe.. fantastic country ham sandwich.

(All fine dining at its best!)

For me, there's no contest. Captain Curt's Crab Shack on Siesta Key off the coast of Sarasota, FL. Best New England Clam Chowder I've ever eaten, and I ate a lot of Chowder when I was in the Navy stationed in Boston.

I think this would be a great thread for the Connoisseurs category.

That said, I was stationed in Texas in 1966 and we would camp near Galveston. The Golden Greek in Galveston was THE place to go at that time. It had a sea wall locale. It's closed now but their food was considered the best in Galveston in their day.
