<p>When we came down last august we ate at the following places:</p>
<li>lunch at Jim and Milt’s (as per the recommendation of P2Noles).</li>
</ol>
<p>2, Andrew’s Capital Grill on Adams street near the doubletree that we stayed at. It was nice to stay therre and be able to walk down the street to some nice places.</p>
<li>Then we went to a few spots near campus… The Loop which had very good Pizza.</li>
</ol>
<p>Qdoba for fast food (really delicious, filling burritos)</p>
<p>Cypress is a Southern dining style restaurant, it's really good</p>
<p>Chez Pierre is pretty good, too (French restaurant)</p>
<p>Lucy Ho's bistro isn't bad -- some of the main dishes are a bit too sweet, but they have a great green tea creme brulee (it's east asian food; they have great sushi)</p>
<p>Hobbit Hoagies is great for buffalo wings and sandwiches</p>
<p>Quiznos -- can never go wrong there</p>
<p>China Delight is good Chinese food, their beef noodle soup is really tasty</p>
<p>Mellow Mushroom for pizza -- they use high quality ingredients and it shows in their pizzas</p>
<p>Papa John's is also good, if I'm going to get a delivery I always call there</p>
<p>Samrat Indian Restaurant is great for Indian food. I'm a big fan of curry.</p>
<p>I also like the Pitaria right off of campus. It's good for a quick meal.</p>
<p>Andrew's 228- trendy- funky atmosphere and wonderful meal/service
Andrew's Capital Grill & Bar- great pub fare. we went on friday eve and they had a jam band outside for happy hour that gathered a diverse mix of people including (my guess) students, community and visitors. some people danced everyone had great time!</p>
<p>Mom and Dad's - off US 27 south out of town a bit. Old favorite.
~~
Nino's - (Nino is/was one of the original operators of Mom and Dad's) farther out south US 27 than Mom and Dad's.
~~
Jim and Milts - BBQ
~~
The Lunch Box - corner of Magnolia and Tennessee/Mahan unpretentious but solid, decent food.
~~
Spring Creek Restaurant - on the Gulf - about 45 min away on the coast.</p>
<p>Nino's!!!! I love Nino's. Good memories from there; I found out I won an all-expenses paid week-long trip to Washington D.C. while having spumoni there.</p>
