My roommate is a chef there, it's a Daniel Bouud place. We got super hooked up.

We probably tried 75% of the menu between 4 people, plus booze, and every desert. $55/person out the door! Insane discount.

8/10. The burger was ridiculous

Deserts are too sandy for me but to each their own.

Stop stop stop...... First Benders Tavern is always great...wonderful place to eat... I eat their once a month just to enjoy old world style dinning..... QO you live in the general area of Canton??


Apple ... Liver one of those foods favor you just have to grow up eating (poor folk eat liver and some Trump supporters ) .. Lot of people don't like liver because it cooked improperly or they don't use the power of fresh squeezed lemon on it ...

Hamburger Inn in Delaware for breakfast. 9/10

BLT Omelet was really good, as was the Cinnamon Bun. Cool atmosphere.

Want to go back for the Onion rings...looked awesome!

I'll second Bender's in Canton, but the last restaurant I ate at was another great Canton restaurant... Lucia's ( near Belden). The filet melts in your mouth, and the Linguini with clam sauce( red AND white) is outstanding. It's rare to even find that on the menu anywhere nowadays... but their's is delicious and prepared with whole clams.

Lucia and old old restaurant in Canton, its old location was in a very bad area, it moved a few years ago to the Belden area ..... You should have tried the deep fried peppers ...

Galaxy's Breakfast and Burgers in Killeen Texas.
Food: 6.5 out of 8.
Experience: 7 of 8.

Very small place. Had lots of cool memorabilia an posters up of star wars and other various things.
Got the Newer Hope burger with grilled cheese as the buns. Very good. Fries had a seasoning that made them the best I ever had.
Other person go the Wakin Bacon and said it was phenomenal.

I read Jim Dandy's and think of the shithole in Portsmouth. Big Mo and coke.

If you guys are in the DC area, Clyde's is a great go to chain.
Ate at the Clyde's Tower Oak Lodge north of Bethesda over the weekend.
8/10.
Good pork shank with sweet potatoes, and decent Old Fashioned. Also, the decor is like a Lodge out in the woods.

They have a great Mustard sauce. Make sure you go on a weekend when they have wings.

Le's Pho and Sandwiches. It's a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese place in Downtown Cincinnati. 10/10
