Interesting voting so far--not one vote for the lone steakhouse on the poll (Ponderosa) and no votes for Shoney's.

I used to love Shoney's breakfast buffet, but now both Ryans & Golden Coral have breakfast buffets that are probably better. Yea, the 'burg used to boast 2 Shoney's at the locations already described, but both buildings are now Mexican restaurants.

We also have had no write-in votes for Steak-n-Shake or Denny's.

Boston Market...

...but they all but gone away up here.

They filed Chapter 11 and closed around 200 locations in 1998, I think. That trend has continued. It's a shame. I enjoy their food.

Looks like the same thing has happened to Shoney's. They've even closed most of their distribution warehouses.

For some reason we've had a number of Boston Markets open up down here int he last year or so. Its awight ... but I prefer other chicken down here in H-town. We have one lone Shoneys left in Houston (Perhaps the last in Texas) near Reliant Stadium.

Now a Steak 'N Shake would be awesome. We only have a couple of those down here in Texas and they are about 4-5 hours form my place. That's some quality grub.

[SuperJon]

Steak N Shake would be great in Lynchburg. It's expensive though.

[thepostman]

Oh man...I love Steak n Shake...open 24 hours....good food....and is it really that expensive?? I go there all the time when I am home..I love it

[Sly Fox]

Yeah, Steak N Shake is comparable to others on that list pricewise but with better offerings IMHO.

And I have to admit, I worked at a Ponderosa in my first ever job. After working there I never had interest in eating there ever again.

[thepostman]

and I would agree with your opinion...I love it....man, I forgot all about Steak n Shake....I love that place so much...we need more places open 24 hours....late night trips to waffle house and ihop get old after a while....

[SuperJon]

Oh man...I love Steak n Shake...open 24 hours....good food....and is it really that expensive?? I go there all the time when I am home..I love it

The one in Winston is decently expensive. Overall it's not expensive, but for the amount and quality of food you get, it is.

[JDUB]

steak and shake sounds good to me! we have one of those at home too. that would be an option for desert after little italy after the elon game

[SuperJon]

JDub, it's in the University Commons shopping center.

[El Scorcho]

There's a Steak N' Shake in Greensboro right off of I-40 which is on the way back to Lynchburg if you're coming from the Winston side of things.

[SuperJon]

There's one in Winston off of University.

[JDUB]

there's one on garden drive by the walmart near elon. i'd guess its about 5 minutes from the school

[TDDance234]

The Steak N' Shake in Greensboro is naaaaaaaasty.

I second the Cookout recommendation. That place will make you love Jesus a little more.

[SuperJon]

Cookout would be good.

[JDUB]

cookout... milkshake for 1.99, combo for 3.99 with 2 sides, add 89 cents for milkshake with combo. one of the best fast food places EVER

[SuperJon]

Double drive thru.

[JDUB]

yessssssssss

[thepostman]

the mention of the double drive thru made me think of Checkers...Checkers has really good burgers...at least the one near my house in Florida does...I have never been to another one....

[Casper]

My vote is other and I have two.

Cookout- Nothing beats a cookout tray

Cheesecake Factory- So Good

[jmdickens]

love me some cookout

[El Scorcho]

Cheesecake Factory- So Good

I have yet to really be impressed with the Cheesecake Factory, especially for the price. It's alright, but I've had better food and better cheesecake.

[bigsmooth]

fast food- cookout, white castle
sit down- uno's, chili's, firebirds rocky mountain grill, bonefish grill

[ATrain]

I like the Cheesecake Factory-a little pricey, yes, but the cake is SOOO good.

[jack_sparrow81]

I haven't been to Burg' in about half a year so I am not sure if these are open but here a list:

-Chili's
-Moe's
-Carraba's- (a glorified Olive Garden, I think there's one actually in Greensboro, alot better though than Olive Garden)
-Buffalo Wild Wings- There's one in Danville
-Whataburger- the Mcdonalds of Texas, I have only seen one in Florida (Melbourne)
-Steak N' Shake- Would be prime in the burg, I'm suprise they havn't put one there yet
-UNO's- I think the closest one is in Greensboro

They need a Macadoos in Florida though; I am not sure where other are located, but the ones in Boone and Burg' are really good
