    What are yours?

    It doesn't have to be some expensive fancy place. Anything from a cheap hole in the wall to some fancy restaurant. All types. Asian, BBQ, Cajun, Italian, Mexican, Seafood, Steak, etc.

    Just where you get your money's worth, not some foo-foo little portions that cost $60.

    Also, any sites that have good reviews?

    I would recomend everybody to try Los Cucuos (Sp?). The food is amazing, I've been there countless times. Other places worth mentioning are pappadeux's, Gualarjas(Sp?) and lucky palace.

    I like brother's pizza too, but there is a better pizza place by Memorial and Dairy Ashford, it's between the blockbuster video and the stratford baseball field, it's a very small place but the pizza is really Italian style.

    Two quick places I take out WAY too much are Fuddruckers and Chipotle. Those places are addicting.

    The George Foreman Bar and Grill.

    No crowds, no 30-minute waits, no overpriced items on the menu, and no twit waiters to deal with. ;)
