I enjoy traveling and even more, commenting and sharing my experiences along the way! Hopefully one day, you will get a chance to visit these fabulous restaurants and see what I’m talking about.>>>>
PAPPADEAUX SEAFOOD KITCHEN
Marietta, GA.
Heard so much about this location, so wanted to give it a try. First let me start by warning you. Reservations are REQUIRED if you plan to even get a table that day, let alone find parking!! The place was jammed packed inside and out, but the ambiance, and food was well worth the wait (about .50 hour) after the second day attempt! LOL. Ordered the fried Mississippi Catfish with the Shrimp Etouffee and the Blackened dirty rice as the main course, and the Shrimp and Crawfish Fondeaux with garlic bread as the appetizer. Chile….let me tell you! I was good with the appetizer! Everything was succulent and finger licking good-literally! A return visit is a MUST!! When in the ATL, check them out.
DiNardo’s FAMOUS SEAFOOD
Philadelphia, PA
I was born and raised in Maryland, so I know good Crab cakes when I taste them. I visited DiNardo’s for their Award winning French fries and let me be the one to confirm. They are! Lightly seasoned with Ole Bay and deep fried to perfection. Krispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Many restaurants out there tried to duplicate but hands down… they can STOP trying.. That’s just starting with the fries….
Pictured below is the seafood platter, (what’s left of it ) Crab cakes, Flounder, Shrimp, Scallops. The appearance of the Seafood was flawless. We were so impressed with how perfectly crisp, tasty and evenly cooked the food was that we had to meet the Cook!! No breading that I noticed in the Crab cakes!! All meat and all good!
Cozy and Family-Style environment. Service was fast and attentive. Reasonable prices…
So I wanted to introduce to ya’ll, Ben! He is the Knowledge, Skill and Experience behind the deliciousness in front of me at DiNardo’s! He stated He has worked there for 35 years, and it shows! I have never tasted Seafood that was so light, fresh, and evenly seasoned to delight all of your taste buds! It’s no wonder DiNardo’s is Famous for their Seafood and award winning restaurant in Philly. They have experience in the Kitchen!!
Thank you Ben! It was a pleasure meeting the Cook behind it all. Job well done!!

SPAGHETTI WAREHOUSE
Dallas, TX
Now that’s how Italian Food is Done.. Son! Hefty portions (everything is Big in Texas-right?) which were dee-lish-ous! The best 15-layer Lasagna E-V-E-R! The Bartender even hooked me up with a Margarita Cuervo Swirl that can be addictive if you are not careful.
Friendly and playful ambience (Juke box and pool table). A must visit for sure. I will be back.
POLK CITY BBQ COMPANY
Polk City, FL
Don’t let the drive or the location away from home deter you from visiting. You will enjoy the scenic route and will most definitely return! I can almost promise you that. This is by far the BEST-EST BBQ and fixins’ I have tasted in quite some time at a restaurant, and I. Love. Food. The portions are so generous, you’ll have enough for a second round. The BBQ is tender, tasty and smoky! The baked beans are SUPERB! You’ll want an entire pot of those! The coleslaw with apples (eaten all up before snapping a photo) was different, but delicious. You MUST, did I say MUST?? try the Big Pig Sandwich Meal as pictured. You get three kinds of Oink Oink: Spare ribbed meat, bacon AND pulled pork!
I must caution you. Full Attention is given and family dinner may be eaten in silence…
