outsidethebox Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Ok guys and girls! What restaurant are you looking most forward too when it's safe to go out? I know a lot of places are doing takeout, which is good and all, but it's not the same as sitting down with family and friends at your favorite place. For me it's Alex's in batavia, across from the racetrack. They have awesome ribs and steaks and chicken wings cooked on a grill right out in the open. My kids and I love the food and the cozy atmosphere. What is your place you're looking forward to going back too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) HA! I don’t even have to think about this because I’ve already done the exercise! Muss and Turner’s in Atlanta has a muffuletta sandwich that I’ve been craving. Best sandwich I’ve had in this town. They have a limited take out menu, but the muffuletta isn’t on it. ? I also have the rest of the top 10 mapped out, but I won’t bore you with it. I’ve spent some time on this topic since going out to lunch is (make that WAS) part of my daily routine. EDIT: I also plan to leave a stupidly large tip, like several hundred percent. . Edited April 10, 2020 by Augie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 A little French joint up on the mountain called Bistro Henri. I was just telling the wife last night that I was going to order one of everything off the appetizer menu and then the king cut prime rib. I might even get an extra order of fois gras to have along side my steak. A mountain of their amazing pomme frites with a bowl of their spicy aioli. Maple creme brûlée, a double espresso, and a snifter or two of grand marnier. Cost is not a factor. Drooling.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, they aren't starving; only their bartenders are. ? Now that you mention it, a Psychopathy sounds great! @Gugny Edited April 10, 2020 by Seasons1992 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Batavia & my parents still live there. It is a typical small town where everyone knows each other. Alex’s has a colorful past. Perhaps meet you at a tailgate sometime and go over it with you. It is about a 2 beer story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Probably Maydan. We closed on our first house pretty much the day everything got locked down. Our realtor and loan agent wanted to take us to Maydan to celebrate the purchase...it's a recently awarded Michelin star restaurant that's a short walk from the house and it is absolutely incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Wings. Any good wing joint. Yeah we can get em takeout but the quality drops as soon the lid on the box closes. You need to eat them right from the fryer for maximum enjoyment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear about Alex's past. 1 minute ago, 4_kidd_4 said: Wings. Any good wing joint. Yeah we can get em takeout but the quality drops as soon the lid on the box closes.

Maydan is awesome , but must say I prefer The Dabney just a scooch more! where you live? We have a place on Kalorama RD, right off Connecticut. We can meet for a beer at Exiles! Or any of another 1000 places between us and Maydan! Edited April 10, 2020 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in Alexandria at the moment but the new house is basically across the street from the Howard University athletic complex. And that sounds promising! Maybe we can connect on a Sunday whenever the Bills are back in our lives again haha Edited April 10, 2020 by DCOrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Probably Prescott’s Provisions in NT. Unless there’s sports on, then probably some place for wings - like Bar Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
