Lance 228 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 So...do you guys have any favorite "franchise" type places to eat that we don't have in this area? I've been wanting Whitecastle for a while now...lol.

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Five Guys, hands down. Some of the best burgers I've ever eaten, and I've eaten my fair share enough to know! Though, there is one as near as Blacksburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is Jack/Box in SC...have tried it a couple times passing thru. I've heard of White Castle but not the rest. GA does have Five Guys (popping up everywhere in metro ATL), a few McAllister's....love their chicken salad. My favorite burger place is Culver's in WI ( only in the midwest, I believe). My favorite in ATL is Steak and Shake. Most of the Hardee's are disappearing around ATL....but, they weren't my favorite...not even in the running. Of course, for G-Man, I like the "ole stand by" McDonalds cheeseburger for a $1.00 and can't beat their iced coffee (for GA summers) for the money.

Especially Zaxby's, some of the best chicken tenders I've ever eaten. The Honey BBQ chicken was fantastic, though fairly hot. Makes my mouth water thinking about it!

On the same side of the highway as Food City, but across the road on the hill. next to the veterinarian's office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogeavers 10 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Maybe the best food and fun I have ever had was at Dave and Buster's in Earth City, Missouri. If you haven't been, a trip to Charlotte is well worth it. They had the best mashed potatoes I have ever had and a helluva game room facility to go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
