I didn’t like it when I went a few years back. Our resort was right around the corner. Try stinkys fish camp next time you go. It’s worth the trip down 98.Drove about an hour from Seaside Florida to Destin to eat at McGuires Irish Pub. (I know that is not spelled right)
Asked the same question, but I will answer.Can I ask how far do you have to travel to have it become a road trip to a restaurant? Almost all places we eat are at least 20 to 30 miles away so do we make a road trip each time we eat out.
One way.Is that one way or round trip?
York Steak House is nostalgic for me. My wife and I have eaten there a few times when we have been in Columbus. We did drive up to Toledo, just to go to Tony Packo's. You are right about Ben's Chili Bowl. I will stop there every time I am in DC. The half smokes are amazing. I was there last spring and the owner sat down with my son and I for a half hour and talked about her business, her family and her rivalry with Camp Washington Chili in Cincinnati.Found a York Steak house in Columbus while dropping a kid off at the local university, have been planning to get back ever since. That was upscale fine dining for me and my brother when we were kids.
I have been known to venture out of my way if I am anywhere near DC (such as on my way to Ocean City) to make it to Ben's Chili Bowl.
I hear there may be one last Red Barn in WV near the Ohio border, I might need to make a trip to.
Or what I call those...sloppy joes without the sloppy joe sauce...Every once in a while when I was in my early 20s we would smoke one too many and have to drive 40 min just to stick our gum on the wall and eat a half dozen Miadrights.
I try to convince myself ours is as good and that it's just the big city atmosphere makes it better. But I think the competition in a place like NYC is so intense, it's got to be better. You remember the name of the place?Every time I go to NYC I go to a place with the best chicken vermicelli I’ve ever had by a long shot
Coney's? Camp Washington Chili is the place to go.I also want to try the Coney's though I think growing up on peppery chili, that soupy stuff won't cut it.

Keep telling myself I'm going to get to Buddy's Pizza for what has become Detroit Style. Had the imitations (which I'll take over Chicago some of which seems to be competing for thicker than thou) but keep putting it off.

THAT is the reason we went to Ponderosa. Usually just ordered the cheapest sirloin steak just to get the salad bar. If I remember right, there were times when ordering the salad bar by itself was more expensive than getting it included with a steak. Usually went up and got 10 wings and then was almost too full to eat the steak.Those Ponderosa wings were they best.

Does flying to New Orleans count if we went there to eat at half a dozen places? Mmmmm beignets at Cafe du Monde.
I stumbled across a new Tony Packo's out near UT a couple of years ago that was more along the lines of a Chipotle (go through the line and pick stuff out behind the glass). It was pretty good. A while back some Toledo folks on here told me that Tony Packo's had fallen off somewhat but my food that day was decent.
Since I have to been to St. Elmo's and Pleasant Hill Shaker Village I may have to learn where Milford is so that I can go to Roney's and complete the trifecta.St. Elmo's in Indy
Shaker Village outside Lexington Ky
Roney's in Milford
Doesnt St. Elmos have like another place, by a diff name, just north of Indy? had leftovers from there...and the leftovers were better than almost everything I had eaten before.Since I have to been to St. Elmo's and Pleasant Hill Shaker Village I may have to learn where Milford is so that I can go to Roney's and complete the trifecta.
I have. Arlington,Va. to Richmond Va. ,about 120 miles one way.Asked the same question, but I will answer.
How about.....100 miles? Who has traveled 100 + miles just for a restaurant?
If Mrs. Ali (owner of Ben's) says Camp Washington Chili is a rival, I'll have to give it a try. Me and the misses also made the stop at Tony Packo's on the way back from dropping a kid off at a local university in Ann Arbor (got the idea from M.A.S.H/Klinger) minor detour on the way back to NE Ohio. Before finding that York Steakhouse, I hadn't been since they closed the one at Rolling Acres (probably 30 plus years).York Steak House is nostalgic for me.

Being a rural person myself, it was not uncommon to drive 50 miles each way for a good dinner a couple of time a month, and maybe every 6 weeks head to the city, 120+ each way.I have. Arlington,Va. to Richmond Va. ,about 120 miles one way.
