On Eating at Rib & Loin

We ate at Rib & Loin last Saturday night. Greg and I haven't eaten there in quite some time and yes, I realize that it is technically on Brainerd Road and I'm deviating from "eating up and down Lee Highway". But, I was in the mood for BBQ. Well, actually, I was craving a stuffed potato. I love stuffed potatoes. Really love them.

The food was great. Greg had a pork plate, I had...you guessed it- the stuffed potato with chicken, and the kids had mac and cheese. We finished it off with yummy banana pudding. Service was friendly and quick. Plus, they played music from Alabama....you can't really go wrong eating BBQ while listening to "Feels so right", "Old Flame" and "Mountain Music". Which reminds me I need to dust off my clogging shoes...

Bottom line: We will definitely eat there again and you should try it too!

On a Saturday Night (we eat out)

Every Saturday night we go as a family out to eat. In the past our usual places have been Cracker Barrel and Wally's until I actually said something like I was going to throw up if we went to either place again. (yes, I'm a grown-up resorting to childlike threats). Don't get me wrong, I do love the Barrel of Crackers but when you eat there like 26 weeks in a row it gets old. Plus, the kids always order breakfast and I keep thinking I can make you eggs and pancakes at home. So...no, more CB for awhile. (fingers crossed).
I thought that I may start writing a little bit about these places that we eat and hopefully someone will give us some suggestions on other places to go.
Currently, I decided we are going to 'eat our way up and down Lee Highway'. I don't know what I was thinking but we've gotten 3 knocked off the list so far. Not sure how many more we will do since the kids aren't fans of Indian or Thai food. We'll see how this goes.
So, let me know your fav place...and we'll check it out. By the way, we typically like local places and tend to stay on our side of town....not opposed to crossing the river but it better be pretty good. ;-)
