I didn't feel like digging around for all of the restaurant threads.


Anyway, anybody been there yet? It's the place where the backyard grill used to be. I was going there expecting Applebee's part XVI but it seems to have it's own little niche. They had a really good menu. I got the Bison burger, medium well. Apparently it's healthier than skinless chicken. I find that hard to believe since it was so dilicious but so the menu claims. Also recomend the artachoke-spinich dip although this is pretty much the same at every place.

You wouldn't say that about artichoke dip if you had Vinny's. "The best Jerry"! "GOLD!" I have not been to HAMS yet but I wouldn't mind going soon.

I love the food at Ham's. The Ham's Classic sandwich is really good (basically a club sandwich) and everything is a good price.

Buffalo meat is awesome. It used to be tough to find but not anymore.

The first time I went to Ham's, our main course came before the appetizer, and they made a big deal about it and took the appetizer off the bill. Like I cared it was late, but hey. They do have excellent service.

Fried cheesecake.

That's all I'm saying.

I've used buffalo mixed with other meat for loaves; up here, Stop and Shop has some decent choices for hormone/antibiotic free meat and other "natural" items (I've tried ostrich too but haven't touched the fresh rabbit :? b/c my grandmother used to make stew from it....) Fried cheescake sounds good; has anyone had fried icecream (Chi-chi's).

The homemade potato chips are what gets me.

Homemade chips and homemade ranch dressing. I'm pretty sure thats what God meant by manna in the bible.

Yes I heard tales of fried Coca-Cola coming out of the NC State Fair this year. Anyone had it yet?

I have had fired Coke, but paid my debt to society!! Actually, it wasn't that good, but ate it b/c of the novelty

As for HAM's the Kickin Chicken Sandwich. STEP OFF!

PH has fried coke described fairly well. Novelty at best. Its not going to be replacing tukey legs or funnel cakes anytime soon.

where'd you get the 17 bucks- not selling your body again are you?

You'd be surprised how much I have right now. A birthday and a huge appraisal can help with that.

the fact that you've soaked the alumni for free food the last 2 weekends didn't hurt either :o
