ON THE ROAD

Covering the PCL?

 

This may be the best-conceived thread we've had on here. If ever you can't find help on restaurants for a city, try Restaurant Row and hit "Top 10 by City." Not only will it give you the city's 10 best options for dining, if it's a place worth anything, there will be PDFs of the restaurant menus, too.

Even if you're not going anywhere, check it out. It's fun to browse.

 

Even Starkville?

 

If you like Italian food, a couple of good places in Des Moines are Tumea and Sons (South side of town, doesn't look like much but the food is great) and the Latin King.

 

there's a good steakhouse outside columbus, by the airport and i'm blanking on the name right now

or if you're driving, stop in tuscaloosa for dreamland or archibald's

 

Even Starkville.

 

My guess would be the MVC...

Can't help you too much with Des Moines. I'm not real knowledgeable of Omaha, either.

Omaha has its dangerous parts, though. For its size, Omaha seems to have a lot of crime.

Downtown isn't too bad. Omaha is the culture center of Nebraska -- whatever you think that means. So you should find something.

If all else fails, cross the river into Council Bluffs for the casinos.

 

omaha isn't so bad... i had a good time there

plus, get the whiskey filet at the granger -- didn't brush my teeth, 'cause i didn't want to lose the taste in my mouth

 

L'il Dooey's BBQ. Excellent.

 

Shottie, I LOVE sites like this; one note, though. I did a neighborhood search, and I guess it's next to impossible to keep these things completely up to date. One recommended restaurant hasn't been open for 3-4 years. So call before you head somewhere...

 

Don't know about Sammie's, but Angelo's is the real deal. Not too far from TCU. The famous Tex-Mex place in town is Joe T. Garcia's. There are better places in town, but it's something of an institution.

 

Second the L'il Dooey's nomination, although you'll need to likely ask directions.

And if you have to make the God-forsaken drive between Starkpatch and Tuscaloosa, there is a Shell station at the main exit in Columbus that serves delicious and dirt cheap ice cream. I shit you not.
