Fellow PA bro?
Shady maples is great. Love the big ass store below the actual buffet. Lots of cool shit

>>15808877
I've been to shady maple and browsed the shops, but never ate at the smorgasbord. To be honest, everyone eating there or waiting in line looked like they already had one foot in the grave.

The supermarket they have there is awesome. I got a bunch of smoked meat and baked goods for really good prices.

the market is good but by the time I'm done eating there I hardly feel like walking around anywhere

>>15809060
That's probably why a good 50% of the population eating there were in motorized wheelchairs, lol

>>15808877
I've been to Lambert's. It was actually really good and the "throwed roll" gimmick is fun

>>15809132
did you go to the one in Alabama or Missouri

>>15809196
Alabama, it was about 13 years ago though

>>15809132
I live like 30 minutes away from the one in alabama
Love that place

>>15809218
Do they still walk around with the big pots of sides and top you off if you want more?

>>15809121
when you're paying $20 for a buffet you gotta get your money's worth. Usually it just looks like the retirement home when I'm there though

definitely want to go to picrel next time i go to see family up north

i dont know if you would call it a destination restaurant, but ive gone to medieval times a few times and its fun, i wouldnt say its worth it, but its fun every decade or so

i remember going to some restaurant around Mobile probably 25 years ago where they brought out cornbread in a cast iron pan and flipped it at the table.
Some waiter flipped his into the ceiling fan and it exploded all over some patrons.

>>15810137
yo is that sign real?

>>15808877

Was an excellent meal, especially their soups

>>15810533

What the fuck is a destination restaurant

>>15811471
A restaurant so impressive that it's worth dedicating an entire day to going there

>>15808877
Been to Emeril's in New Orleans 6 months after Katrina. Emeril was actually there checking food before it was going out. Had the braised hare. Decent. I felt for the guy because you could tell he was really trying to keep the food scene going after all the white flight that happened.

>>15811420
Nah.

>>15808877
Pizza Rock in Vegas worth a shout. Not sure if it constitutes destination restaurant but it's pretty famous I guess.

Been here. Got a free ride in a limo with longhorns on the front, had Rocky Mountain Oysters, and a thick steak. Was overall a wonderful experience and would go back for the 72oz steak.

>>15812412
This looks like really generic, fattening deep dish. I guess that the appeal

>>15812444
I wish to attempt the 72 oz challenge.

>>15812412
looks like buddys pizza. which is delicious

>>15812615
Let's go together anon~

went to this apple themed restaurant in the Gatlinburg area of tennessee, no idea why my friends wanted to go. it was incredibly depressing, seemed to have been barely updated since the 90s but not in a good way, the waiter was some middle aged sad dude, and the food was not remarkable, just apples in everything. it was weird.

Gay trip, bro trip, or gay bro trip?

>>15808877
The Dillard House in GA
A little disappointing, but so are most of north ga restaurants

>>15808877
I got a lobster roll at pic related the other day. It was pretty good.

>>15808877
I went to Giordano's in Chicago. I didn't try the deep dish because I felt like shit that day so I had some kind of thin crust instead. It was alright

It’s so weird that all these Cracker Barrel type comfort food restaurants are considered “destination dining” for flyovers.

The original Benihana in New York

>>15813657
literally 0 flyover states were posted in this thread so far

>>15808877
lmao I went to this place when I dated an obese chick back in the day. it was absolutely miserable, everything was like shitty cafeteria food, ugly dated decor, old hamplanets everywhere, would not go again

>>15815804
Aren't these places fucking everywhere?

>>15816724
looks soulful

I'm in New Orleans right now. Anywhere that I need to go before I leave?

>>15810137

>>15810533

Very real and very good.

Been to the one in Missouri a whole bunc. Used to drive between st Louis and Memphis at least 4 times a year and it's about half way, great place to stop. First time I went didn't even know it was famous

>>15818430
into the Mississippi with no life jacket

>>15813646
I think you made the right choice, I prefer Giordano's for thin and Malnati's for deep dish.

>>15808877
Had some bomb crab cakes at the Pier Market at Fisherman's Wharf in San Fran. Another place there had some great truffle fries.

Nobu a few times, but I wouldn't call it "destination" because I live very close, but its kinda famous.

>>15808877
Based PA bro. Love this place.

>>15818430
I think the beignets place is the only "must try" kind of tourist stop. Cafe Du Monde or w/e it's called

>>15813397
Some places just end up like that :(

>>15810137
That sign is problematic. Time to go to facebook and twitter to rant about it. Also, if you never had Jersey fries you owe it to yourself.

>>15816396
Yes, and they are all horrible. They never clean their milkshake machines out.
