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??

Many years ago, back in the mid 70's, myself and another detective went on an extradition trip to Columbus, Ohio, from Miami, Fla. It was an overnight trip, picking up the prisoner the next day. We went to a seafood rest. that was originally a circa 1900's two story firehouse. Tables were on the first floor and the kitchen was on the second floor. When an order was ready they would ring the original fire bell and the waiter/waitress would slide down the original slide pole balancing the food tray. Crazy to watch.
Had the best seafood I've ever had outside of Main. Seafood flown in every other day, fresh. You could put togather your own platter.
To this day I still remember, jumbo shrimp boil, soft shell crab, and an order of fried smelt (I'd never had smelt before and they were soooo good). Roasted red skin potato chunks, fresh corn on the cob, and a full size loaf of fresh sourdough bread.
40 years later and I still think of that meal.
Than, there's the original Joe's Crab Shack on Miami Beach. Used to go there in the 60's and 70's before it became to popular to be affordable to the common folk.

Lot's of great meals in my home state of Louisiana - and good to see a few posts about restaurants there. And lots of good meals on the road.

Best recent: Hot Pancakes and fresh Maple Syrup at the Woodstock Vermont Fire Department Pancake Breakfast. Drove by the sign on my way to take early morning photos on a cold October morning last fall. Great way to end the morning and met some friendly folks in the process.

Tony's Clamchowder in Cedar Key,Fl. ·sorry New England they won three years in a row at R.I. world's competition !! 🙂
Harry's Gainesville, St. Augustine or Ocala, Fl.

Best ever - Johnny' Steakhouse in Denver, Pa. Crab patties to put anyone's to shame, steak to die for and if you want seafood go upstairs to Kyma's !

Kincaid's Grocery in SW Ft Worth. Best Hamburger in the country!
At lunch and dinner time, they turn their meat market into a hamburger joint. Well worth the drive into the neighborhood, if you are in the vicinity.

Want a good hamburger on the west side of Houston? Try Texas Burger on the north side if I-10 at Weimer. Huge parking lot. Easy in/out.

Our most memorable restaurant meal was at Black Bear Diner in Mt. Shasta, CA. I was driving and got distracted looking at beautiful Mt. Shasta, when I clipped the building and tore off 20-ft of our roof, our awning, and the restaurant's awning. Of course, we went inside, got some lunch, and owned up to my mistake. They were gracious about it, thankfully. But that turned out to be about a $3600 hamburger. Fortunately, GEICO paid everything promptly and I assume they got their awning back.

So there's a lesson in that--pay attention to your driving and make sure you have excellent insurance for those times that you get stupid.

Sometimes it's not always about the food, (even thought the food was great) it's about the experience, the name of the restaurant The Oasis is in Austin, Texas, know for it's amazing sunsets.

Hands down, the Chowder House in Fairbanks, AK!!

1. The Siding Café, Field, British Columbia. Excellent food and incredible views.
2. The Other Paw Bakery, Jasper, Alberta. Best Cinnamon buns in Alberta.
3. Kaina Hut, Bora Bora. Good luck getting your RV there though.

Lambert's in Ozark, Mo! There are two others, but we haven't been to either. Free pass-arounds in addition to your meal. It's the home of the Throwed Rolls. Expect a wait of 90 minutes--sometimes more. But, so well worth the wait so don't let that scare you off. It's the only place DH will wait more than a few minutes for a table.

If you are in the Groton/Mystic Conneticut area, get a Lobsta Roll at Costellos Clam Shack! Located right in the Noank Shipyard. Costellos make lobster rolls not cold wityh mayo, but broiled in butter on a toasted roll. Add a side of fries or onion rings - Heaven! Link has a few pictures of the place.
Don't know how the other stuff is because every time I go I get a Lobster roll. Guess I should try something else sometime.

If you happen to be in Elkhart for any RV service, Heinnies on Lusher Avenue is worth a stop. Their hamburger is rated tops, but it's their prime rib I like. Never been disappointed and always cooked to perfection. It's only available certain days, so check their website. Note: I was going to hotlink the website, but apparently it's been hacked because I got a warning on it, but you can call for the menu.
