I need a rec for best bahm mi please, preferably pork/pigs head. I heard The Daily has a good one?

I have to spread the word....I've eaten here about 5 times in the past couple of months and it's the best Thai I've had in Tampa! The place is run by a super friendly Thai woman, the prices are super duper cheap, menu change daily, delish panang, egg rolls, fried bananas, pot stickers, everything I've tried has been delish, including the Pad Thai. This place is a must try, it's called Kombo Kitchen, located on Armenia just south of I275 and they may be moving to the old Da Kine spot or to the old Thai Market spot on S Dale Mabry, TRY ITTTTT!!!!!!!

The best Thai food I've ever had is Kombo Kitchen, it's a trailer believe it or not, but VERY good and VERY authentic! It's run by a woman from Thailand, her menu varies daily, and she is super friendly! Try the Panang! Each meal comes with an egg roll, rice and fried banana with honey. The potstickers are amazing! She also loads you up with free goodies (if she likes you:) Kombo is located on Howard just South of 275, they may relocate soon to the old Da Kine spot.

So after reading the rave reviews in all the local newspapers we headed to St. Pete this weekend to give the new Ricky P's Orleans Bistro a try. We ordered a muffalletta, Boudin Balls, Oysters, Crab Cakes and Bread Pudding. The muffalletta was served on Publix French Bread, the meat was standard deli style cold cuts, nothing like a "real" muffalletta. Boudin Balls were ok. Crab Cake were ok. The Bread Pudding was served with "home made rum sauce", in my opinion tasted like Scope, yes, like the mouthwash Scope. The server was really slow, and then once we got our check they had charged us a $1.00 extra for the Bread Pudding and a $1.00 extra for the oysters. I pointed out the mistake to the server, so she then took our check to the back, brought it back out to us and said "they fixed it". They only credited us $1.00, not the full $2.00 that they overcharged us for.

In my opinion, save your money and calories!

Pane Rustina-one of the best restaurants in Tampa
Terra Sur-yum
Salt Rock Grill-good but overpriced
Try El Puerto in Ybor City for great Argentinian

Only if your going to pig out on crab legs and oysters. All the other food is nasty.

Tell me about it, I'm not ordering any food just to prove my point.

I reccommended Jaleo's, Todd English, PJ Clarkes', Mon Ami Gabi, Holstein's, and a couple other's that were reccoemended, and unfortunatly the girl that is making the final decision nixed all of them, she decided on Lavo which got terrible reviews! Thanks for your recs everyone, sorry I am not putting any of them to use!

Looking for a good restaurant that is not TOO pricey, approx. $40 per entree plus drinks, tips etc, somewhere that can accommodate a party 13. We are a loudER group of people, so somewhere that is not too stuffy please. A cool atmosphere/good view would be a PLUS! Any type of food except sushi, and if it's a steakhouse we would need other choices on the menu, like Italian or fish (one person in the group does not like steak). Great drinks are a MUST :) So far we are considering Mon Ami Gabi or P.J. Clarkes. Thanks!

Thanks for the recs, I think ive talked everyone into upping the budget after seeing the limited choices we would have w that low of a budget

I heard the food is terrible at Dicks?

It's been YEARS since I've been to Vegas. My friends are going to Vegas in March and I told them I would help them find a good place for a birthday dinner. This is a very rowdy crew, 6 people total, they are trying to keep the budget down to about $20 per entree plus drinks, dessert tip etc. Is $20 per entree even possible in Vegas these days? The most important part of the dinner will be a fun place to accommodate this LOUD bunch, a fun atmosphere/good views. Good drinks and friendly staff are a must. I know this is asking a lot, so if the entree price must go up (to maybe $30.00 per entree), I understand. They are open to any type of food except sushi. PLEASE HELP!! :( Any suggestions?

P.S.
They are staying on The Strip and will not have a vehicle

Hello all! I've never been to Atlanta before, going last minute this Monday for a convention. We will really only have 1 full day to check out the sites before attending the convention Tues and Wednesday, so I would love a rec for a specific area/neighborhood of Atlanta to check out for lunch, dinner, walking around/browsing then a bit of nightlife. For food we are not picky at all, just want something really tasty, not too pricey. For lunch maybe $13 tops for a meal, plus drinks and tax and tip, for dinner something $20 or less for the meal plus drinks, tax and tip. For nightlife/drinks I would like a lounge, not too pricey on the drinks and not pretentious. I have heard about Buckhead being a nice area for browsing and chowin? Also, I read a bit about Little Five Points which sounds interesting, THANKS FOR YOUR RECS PLEASE! :)

Thanks for the recs, I have not tried Turtle Kraals, will check it out! :)

Has anyone tried this place? It's been open for quite awhile, I did a search and didn't find anything. Wondering how it compares to Pho Quyen?

Hello All! Heading to The Keys in early November. Looking for a dinner rec for my boyfriend's birthday. It's going to be a Friday night. He loves good fried seafood, something casual, under $15pp. I was looking into The Shrimp Shack on Stock Island but it looks like this place may have closed? Any other recs for something similiar would be great! Any of the Lower Keys or Key West we are open to. Good fried fish, fried lobster, raw oysters, thanks so much! FYI, I have eaten at BO's, this is a good choice however I know once they run out of fresh fish they close for the evening so I wanted a couple other places to choose from. Thanks!

Hello all! I'm thinking of checking out Jackson Heights for Indian clothing/jewelry stores, then head somewhere else in Queens for food. I've heard that Floral Park/Glen Oaks and Queens Village is better for Indian food (compared to JH). Any suggestions on a good place to eat? Not interested in buffets or vegetarian Indian. Somewhere we can get entrees for $15 or less if possible. Also, any feedback on whether Jackson Heights is worth the trip for the shopping would be appreciated as well (I know, I know, it's a food board).

Thanks!

Demmi's market on 7th ave, closest to ny pizza I have found, but i hear eddie and sams is good to!

Try the fresh fish at the rod n reel on the pier, yummm!

Salem's!!!

Big al's bar b q in ybor is tasty, bernini's is terrible [microwaved food] and jalapenos closed months ago, good luck! Ps El Puerto is worth the cab or trolley to ybor

Stacy's Cafe, 7th ave in ybor near Nebraska..ox tail, black eyed peas, collard greens, sweet potato pie and much more

Any recs for some where yummy? Were not picky as long ass it,s tasty. Fifteen to thirty dollars per plate. Thaks!

I agree with El Puerto in Ybor City. For drinks after El Puerto check out Lower Red, it's a bar only about a block from El Puerto, great drinks and atmosphere. (I must highly disagree with Bernini, just...don't...do...it...)

Laughing Cat has great Italian food, you may be pushing the $20.00 per plate, but you can def find something for under $20.00

Another great spot is Samurai Blue in Ybor City for sushi

Have fun!

Thanks for the review, doesnt sound like CL was very impressed either. Saleems is great!! Love their gyro and greek salad! I have to disagree about New York New York pizza, go down 7th to Demmis Market and you will never go back to NY NY again. Demmis rivals some of the best pizza in NYC IMO! :)

I drive by every day, looks to be a gyro/kabab sort of place, has anyone tried it?

El Puerto in Ybor(Argentine steakhouse) on 5th and 15th
The Fly in downtown on Franklin(great Kobe Beef Sliders)
Samurai Blue(sushi) in Ybor

Ohhh..Pane is my absolute favorite hands down. Funny you mention the beer prices, my friends are huge fans of Datz and theyve been begging me to go for months, I finally relented last night and they were actually making a pretty big deal last night about how cheap the beer is and how they think they should raise the prices to increase profits:)

So I was a little hesitant to try Datz because when they first opened I saw some mixed reviews. I finally went last night and now I'm hooked! Nice atmosphere, good selection of beer and wine. I had a turkey sandwich on yummy crusty bread, can't remember what it was called but it had cole slaw and some sort of sweet sauce on it. All the sandwiches come w homemade potatoe chips drizzled in blue cheese dressing. For dessert I had a little berry tort with some sort of jelly on the inside. Unbelievable. I also taste tested key lime pie and red velvet cake. This is my new fave place to eat!

Here are my fave's

El Puerto-Ybor City Argentinian
Demmis Market on 7th-Ybor City, pizza only, opens at 5pm
Pane Rustica-go for lunch, "rustic Italian"
Laughing Cat-Ybor City Italian
Terra Sur-Carrollwood, Peruvian
Sukothai-lunch, Thai
Samurai Blue-Ybor City, Sushi
Fly-downtown, pricey but good
