[cks511]

Crow's Drive Inn at about 38th west ave and west 41st has the best REAL fast food EVER.  Can't wait to have a pedestrian bridge at 41st....lol...get there quicker.

Steak - Mahogany
Charburger - Goldies
Greasy burger - Ron's
Breakfast - Savoy
Thai - Lanna Thai
Chinese - Royal Dragon/P.F. Changs
Bakery - Merritts
Seafood - White River
Family Chain Restaurant - Cheddars
Indian - Desi Wok (I hear it's under new management and it's terrible now)
Meditteranean - Halim & Mimi's
Chicago style pizza - Savastano's
New York style pizza - Mario's
Italian - Pomodori's

I still need to find the best BBQ and fried chicken to complete my list.  Please don't anyone suggest Rib Crib.  I have been overall disappointed with most of the BBQ I have had since I moved here from California 2 years ago.  I had Wilsons many years ago, but I hear it is not the same anymore.  I have tried Elmers, Billy Simms, Billy Ray's, Rib Crib, Runts, Famous Daves, Knotty Pine, Albert G's, and Papa Tom's BBQ in Bixby.  The only ones I would rate above average are Albert G's and Papa Tom's, but Papa Tom's closed about 3 months ago.  Albert G's is good, though, but not great.

If you don't mind the drive, Wildhorse BBQ outside Sallisaw is pretty darn good.  I mean, it was the last time I drove through there about 10 years ago.  ANd you had to buy your drink from a Coke machine.  It was memorable.

The Palace Cafe and the Wild Fork are both excellent.

We do go out quite a bit.  Not much else to do in this town.

I have to say about Fleming's, I have been there several times, and almost every time, I have seen a striking brunette and a rather large man who looks like he stepped out of a Soprano's episode, complete with cigar and gold accouterments. Scary, but kind of interesting.

I have thought about approaching them on occasion, but my wife says if the man looks like a gangster, he might be one...

What days and times is your back yard open? I'll bring the ribs, wy wife and my ten-year-old daughter. And maybe your favorite beer.

Usually Sunday nights.  I even have a pool your daughter would enjoy.

Table 10 is now Lava Noshery.  Haven't been there, but have attended a community food bank dinner featuring the chef, who was great.

A new restaurant called Chicory & Chives is open in the old Papa's location on Charles Page Boulevard, it's easy to get to for downtown folks. There's a new owner, and they haven't redecorated the place yet, but they are going to. The food is pretty good, they have great Jambalaya and Crawfish Etouffe.

I drive by this joint every time I drive back to Mena.  I've always wondered if it was good or not, but I've never stopped.  It does smell good driving by.  I'll definitely have to stop next time.

US 59 is being relocated over Wildhorse Mountain and soon will no longer run in front of Wildhorse BBQ.  Whether this will affect business remains to be seen.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but man I dig Margaret's German restaurant in the Farm shopping center.  Damn, that's good.
