Laurel, AL called Stones Throw Bar and Grill. The food is delicious and Chef Harrigan is so nice!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752975890817376814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-48179846150658682442009-05-27T11:33:55.268-05:002009-05-27T11:33:55.268-05:00My family LOVES La Fiesta in Hoover (behind the Outback Steakhouse, and near the new Publix). If you like Mexican food, give this place a try. It's incredible! (The salsa is hot and delicious; everyone loves their cheese dip; and the fajitas are the best!) I have been eating at La Fiesta for well over 15 years now... and many of those years include a once-a-week visit! :)Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12887675399476057016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-24279293650764323652009-05-26T14:29:17.769-05:002009-05-26T14:29:17.769-05:00Big Bob Gibson's BBQ in Decatur - best bbq EVER (not just in Alabama). They were recently featured in Southern Living Magazine (http://eatingmywords.southernliving.com/eating_my_words/2008/04/white-barbecue.html) and also in People Magazine and the Today Show.

Must go there!<br /><br />One of our fave new places is Joe&#39;s Italian, on Hwy. 11 between Chelsea &amp; Alabaster. Authentic Italian, Joe is straight from Sicily with the accent to prove it.

It&#39;s consider a tea room, so it&#39;s definitely a &quot;chick&quot; place, but I have seen several men in there before. All of the food is delicious and they have great specialty hot &amp; cold tea drinks.Christenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683454723524557976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-20124450660116124332009-05-25T17:15:45.298-05:002009-05-25T17:15:45.298-05:00I like John&#39;s City Diner in B&#39;ham.

So I went ahead and broke them first and linked in an Atlanta restaurant, because, if you're like me, you go there a lot.<br /><br />However, in Birmingham, other places I love are:<br /><br />Taziki's, Bright Star and Nabeel's for Greek dining,<br /><br />Baha Burgers for . . .well, burgers,<br /><br />Mudtown - they have amazing food <br />- my favorite is their Tilapia and Balsamic Salad,<br /><br />But I shouldn't name too many more, because my husband and I have a restaurant curse, and those I name WILL close.<br />(http://www.graspingforobjectivity.com/2009/01/sadly-tasty-curse.html) <br /><br />So, on second thought, you might not want to tell me your favorite places.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10369662617248103139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376889143210775517.post-80815119515930063712009-05-24T20:49:38.635-05:002009-05-24T20:49:38.635-05:00Auburn - Niffer's, Chuck's, Jim Bob's, Veggis to Go<br /><br />B'ham - City Hall Diner, Bellini's, Village Tavern, Five Guys<br /><br />Huntsville - Greenbrier BBQ, Thomas Pitt BBQ, Tender'sLora Lynn @ Vitafamiliaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230682066708030621noreply@blogger.com
