min posted:Good sushi does not exist in Jacksonville as far as I can tell. After trying what must be nearly a dozen places people assured me were good (they were not), I've pretty much given up. The closest I've found good sushi is Kappo at the East End Market in Orlando. Just stumbled on this thread and thought I'd add to these. I don't live in Jacksonville, but I go there a lot for work. Maple Street Biscuit Company - Some of the best biscuit sandwiches I've ever had. The cinnamon pecan iced biscuits are also delicious. Jaxon Social - Pretty awesome modern food. They come up with some awesome off menu stuff regularly too. 13 Gypsies - Good tapas style food Bold Bean - Coffee roaster that also has local beer. They have some good food for sale here and there too. Lola's Burrito Joint - Way better burritos than Burrito Gallery, seconding Mr. Taco for tacos. Blue Boy Sandwich Shop - Awesome and huge sandwiches with really really good bread.

How do you not recommend Ashley's for beer? Definitely the best beer bar in the area. If you like Jolly Pumpkin beers, Jolly Pumpkin is also amazing and their food is ridiculous. Also Big Ten burrito opened in 2004 so I'm not sure I'd call it a classic. It's also a real bummer that burritos are no longer $5 tax included like when I went to school there.

That area is EXPLODING with new breweries. There are easily five or more that have opened this year in the WPB corridor. That one is the only one I've been to yet though, mostly because I live in Orlando. A guy from a homebrew shop I buy stuff from down there is one of their brewers so I found out about it from him. Great beers and they constantly putting out new stuff.

I know there's great food there, found some my last time I was there but I don't have time to explore this time around. Urban Grub has great brunch food. Not sure if they're open for brunch on Mondays. If you're a burger kind of person, Pharmacy Burger is awesome. I'll also second Hattie B's for hot chicken.

Suspect Bucket posted:I dunno, do they have really good smoked sausage dogs? And is there beer? It's a long lunch pit stop, I loving hate driving. I'll happily travel for awesome food. They have a bacon dog. A BACON DOG. As for beer, I actually can't recall if they do or not. I've only eaten there for lunch on work trips so I haven't been looking beer unfortunately. I'll have to check out The Volstead. I'm up in Jacksonville a fair bit for work. There's also another prohibition style speakeasy place over in San Marco called the Grape and Grain Exchange. It's mostly a liquor store, but there is a small bar up front and a hidden speakeasy with a sliding bookcase entry in the rear of the store.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Versailles is a legendary, iconic Cuban restaurant in Miami. It's open super-late, and you can see a fascinating cross-section of people from around the world and all walks of life if you go there on a Friday or Saturday night, the later the better. Be prepared to wait in line, but it's so worth it. The food is fantastic, the portions are huge, and the menu has hundreds of great options. Versailles is definitely good. I also like Havana Harry's. Their portions are also enormous as well. If you're interested in other types of food/drink there are some cool places in the Wynwood area including Coyo Taco, Panther Coffee, and Wynwood Brewing. The area is sort of interesting. It's kind of an even mix of run down industrial/commercial land, awesome new restaurants and some of the best graffiti art murals I've ever seen.

Sextro posted:Any last minute suggestions for Richmond VA on a Saturday? Both lunch and dinner. Richmond had a ton of awesome food. I fly there once a month or so for tattoo work. Metzger's - Elevated German food. The pork chop and the potatoes are outstanding. Great cocktails. The Answer - Brewpub serving Thai food. Both the beer and the Thai food are excellent. Really good Bahn Mi. Lunch/Dinner - They are two attached restaurants with different menus. They do a great brunch on Sundays. The Black Sheep - I've only done brunch here but it was excellent. Gwar Bar - Kind of a dive, but the food is good and it's owned by the metal band Gwar and if you know who they are you will want to go here.

Yeah, from the people I know there, it sounds like it's really gotten a lot more enjoyable in recent years. Someone is taking me to a really good Jewish deli later this week when I go up there. I did find a really good Greek deli last time downtown. I forget the name, but I asked for double meat on the sandwich and the guy warned me how much meat that would be. I did not heed his warning and it was borderline absurd. I ended up making two meals out of it. Two tasty meals.

Doom Rooster posted:If someone tries to convince you to go to The Salt Lick, they are not your friend, sever all ties with them. Their BBQ is below mediocre, and only get recommended because the atmosphere is neat, and it's all you can eat. The Salt Lick definitely looks cool and the huge gently caress-off pit is neat, but yeah, I've heard pretty mehhh things about the food. I've only ever flown into Austin to drive about 1.5 hours west of there sadly. We did eat at some interesting Mexican restaurant/outdoor concert venue on the outskirts of town that was pretty decent though. I have no goddamn idea what it was called though.

CzarChasm posted:Going to be in East Hampton Connecticut at the beginning of June. I'm interested in any opinions for any kind of food, but won't be there terribly long. I think at least one dinner covered, but probably need to find food for two breakfasts and one dinner (just a weekend trip). I think we are staying just south of the Airport. You can't go to that area and not have a steamed cheeseburger. Check out for that and also for breakfast is O'Rourke's Diner in Middletown. They make pretty awesome breakfast and also do steamed cheeseburgers. If by airport you mean the Hartford airport, that's not really all that close to East Hampton and I may have some other recommendations too. Bear's Smokehouse is just south of the airport and is some drat good barbecue. There's also another good breakfast place in West Hartford called The Quaker Diner. They are cash only though, FYI.

AnonSpore posted:I'm only going to be there for the weekend, any type of food is great but as mentioned above time is sort of an issue and because of that distance is too. I can uber if needed. I was thinking of Nile for starters since that's only ten minutes away by car and a lot of people seem to have loved it. Nile is tasty. We did a goon meet there once maybe like 6 years ago. The tough thing about I-Drive in general is that is super drat touristy and like 99% of the things there are chains, some major ones some smaller ones. Depending on where you are on I-Drive as well, it can take a while to get up and down it. There are still decent places there that are chains, but they're not unique if that's what you're after. If you don't mind small chains, Brick House Tavern has some tasty food and decent beer. Yardhouse across the street from there is sort of the same vibe. There are some good places over in the Dr. Phillips area which isn't terribly far. The Whiskey is a great little bar that has really good burgers. Flipper's Pizzeria is pretty solid as well. There's also a Brazillian place called SteakOnFire that makes awesome sandwiches. It definitely hurts you being in that area and being time limited. Much of the cooler places to go are closer to downtown. There is an area there called Mills 50 and it's full of awesome new restaurants.
