MO, have you ever tried Wrights Restaurant in Leland Shopping Center? I understand it is pretty good. I almost never go out for lunch, I work very late and eating is not in my vocabulary early in the day...also,  there is a new place that opened up (they closed once but back open again) in the old Hardees building on University Blvd, next to Sonic. It is supposed to be like a meat and 3 for under $5.00. I have heard people talk about it and they say it's pretty good.

BBQ...Woodrows
Seafood...Bryants in Hueytown
Pizza...Dominos
Fastfood.... Checkers (Good BLT for only $1)
Burgers....Oasis
Chicken.... Churchs
Chinese....Swen Nport
Steaks or veggies......my house

See....you always do that to me, and oops, I did it again didn't I?
(Jeep slowly exits away from Logger so he can't kick her butt)...


Oops.....delete your quote, you  did the same thing.

I only eat where they have cloth napkins and at least two kinds of forks at each setting.

BBQ...SlickLizzard Smokeyhouse - Nauvoo, Alabama
Seafood...Wintzell's
Pizza...California Pizza Kitchen
Fastfood.... Chic-fil-a
Burgers....Mugshots or Cheesecake Factory
Chinese....Swen Nport
Steaks ......Bright Star
Chicken (wings)........Bob Baumhower's Wings
Chain .......... Outback Steakhouse but I NEVER get steak there. 

I need to try it.  I used to love to eat at Wright's Bakery when they had the restaurant in Northport.

Is this one at Leland owned by Ed Wright?  Is he even still alive?

I LOVE Jim's Bar-B-Que  down near Prattville.  We used to stop there everytime we went to Montgomery when hubby used to work down there.

That is the best bar-b-que I ahve ever ate.

For fine dining:
The Best restaurant in town is Epiphany (downtown).
Kozy's is second best.
Melina's in Northport (where the Globe used to be) is also good.
I heard that Evangeline's has gotten better.
Cypress Inn can be good - both the food and service are really variable.

For chains, I like Longhorn in the Midtown Village, and Outback, and Olive Garden.

for ethnic food, we like Surin (Thai) and Majarajah Indian.

I haven't found any great Mexican restaurants (we're from San Diego so I have high standards for Mexican).  There's a little tiny place in Alberta that is pretty good and very authentic, for take-out. The other Mexican places in town are so-so.  We go to Pepito's because it's ok and cheap.

The Japanese place in the mall in the food court, although it really is more Chinese, is really good, it has fabulous egg rolls. Otherwise I don't know of any great Chinese restaurants. We used to like Hong Kong but it is closed down.

Tokyo is the best regular Japanes restaurant and has good sushi and teppanyaki.

Besides the fine dining places, I don't know of any good fish or seafood places. Too much deep frying around here, and none are as good as Ezell's was.
