Got an extended vacation the next 11 days. Hanging out of campus Thursday night til Monday staying at the Extended Inn hotel on campus. Planning on going to the Sunday festivities on campus. Hope to see some of you if your in the area.

Can anyone recommend any good restaurants for the family?

[thesportscritic]

Ruby Tuesday's is a good restaurant. There is also Outback steak house, Texas road house, golden corral and there are many more that aren't coming to mind at the moment.

[SuperJon]

La Villa.

Ledo Pizza is great.

All your chain restaurants aren't bad.

Go downtown and eat at Depot Grille, great prices and it's right on the river with a real modern look with the exposed brick.


Try the Chicken Tenders Lite Bite....makes me hungry just thinking about it

[SuperJon]

Man, I must miss a lot of good places to eat by never going downtown.

[RubberMallet]

Ruby Tuesday's is a good restaurant.

Wards Road.

[Fumblerooskies]

Logans...better food and less $$ than Ruby Tuesdays.

TGI Fridays on Timberlake (at the old Sagebrush location) is good, too.

[Hold My Own]

Yeah, but maybe you should try something that isnt around in your neck of the woods or in every other city at that

[bigsmooth]

true to that. what about neighbors over at wyndhurst?

[ATrain]

Smokey's over in Wyndhurst is pretty good

[JDUB]

if you want a chain resturuant, logans is great. if you want something specific like mexican or italian, there are whole threads on here devoted to that

I think we have gone over the restaurant options in town fairly thoroughly with the polls in this forum.

I'm glad to hear a recommendation on the Depot Grille. I saw their website the other day and it looked very intriguing.

I can tell you my family enjoyed Vinny's on our trip through town last year when we dined with Scar, Smoothie & GMTM.

[SuperJon]

I like La Villa better than Vinny's.



Yea, I said it.

[LUconn]

The Depot Grille is a very cool place. But I think their food is just on the "ok" level.

[thesportscritic]

Ruby Tuesday's is a good restaurant.

I like Ruby Tuesday. I guess you don't

He said GOOD restaurants.....Who wants to eat overpriced crappy burgers......Yep I said it....Texas Roadhouse is always a winner....Neighbor's place is a good and so is Lil Cucci's in Forest....Vinny's is always good if you want a good stuffing as well..

[mrmacphisto]

Depot Grille is a cool place and their food is pretty good.
Neighbors' Place is very good as well, although I haven't eaten there in probably two years or more.

For cheap and sleazy (and tasty), there's Myrts, Weenie Stand and Shanghai Express.

Downtown has some cool little places that I keep meaning to check out. There's a pizza place, a seafood place, a Chinese place (I've been told it's good, but their buffet was lukewarm when I ate there once for a late lunch), and others. You should walk around Downtown a little while you're in town anyway. Maybe after Depot Grille if you go (although Depot is also right by the Black Water Creek trail if you want to walk it off).

If you take the kids to Amazement Square, I'd love to hear a review. The website makes it look pretty sweet.

there is other things there besides "Crappy burgers"

Sly Amazement Square is amazing for any ages. They always have the coolest events going on and even if you take the little one you'll see yourself having just as much fun as the kids. It's really ahead of it's time as far as learning tools for kids.

you mean their crappy shrimp, their crappy ribs, their crappy steaks, and their crappy chicken pot pie?....

[Baldspot]

Pretty overwhelmed by the advice. Thanks Guys. I just made it to the alumni lounge computer. Looking forward to the weekend.

[SuperJon]

We have an alumni lounge?

[PAmedic]

I'll give you a tour next time I'm down
