While we were visiting Steve and Amy in Dayton, we had to (of course) try someplace new for dinner. Steve and Amy suggested BJs Brewhouse and we were all in favor of it! Tom and I had seen BJs Brewhouse other places in Ohio, but had never eaten at one. Steve and Amy suggested it …
From Places to Eat
Atlas Tavern at Polaris in Columbus
We are now back in Ohio which means lots of eating out with friends and family. John and Jackie are always on the lookout for new restaurants in Columbus. No shortage of those. So our first night back in Ohio, they suggested we meet them at Atlas Tavern at Polaris. Atlas Tavern is part of …
Pirates House Restaurant, Savannah Georgia
When Tom and I spent the day in Savannah with Caitlyn, we ate at the Pirates House Restaurant. It was as far east as we were walking in the historic downtown area. So we walked all the way east, ate lunch, and then made our way back west. The Pirates House Restaurant includes the oldest …
Brogens North on St Simons Island
Tom and I haven’t been trying many new restaurants on St Simons Island. We have returned to some that we enjoyed before: Barbara Jean’s, Frederica House, Frederica Cafe, Dairy Queen, and Certified Burger. Unless we are joining someone else, we just don’t eat out that often. In February we joined the other volunteers here at …
Tortuga Jacks Restaurant on Jekyll Island, Georgia
When you are driving over the causeway onto St. Simons Island, you see a big billboard with an advertisement for Tortuga Jacks. “Voted #1 place to eat in the Golden Isles!” The only problem with the billboard is that Tortuga Jacks Restaurant is on Jekyll Island! But, after driving past the sign for the last several …
Bretts Waterway Cafe on Amelia Island
The second time we visited Amelia Island, when we took my parents, we ate a Bretts Waterway Cafe on the river. Tom and I had scoped out Fernandina Beach on our previous visit and knew we could find plenty of parking here. We also knew that Bretts Waterway Cafe had one of the best views …
Tastys Fresh Burgers and Fries, Amelia Island
The first time Tom and I went to Amelia Island, we ate at Tastys Fresh Burgers and Fries. Tom and I like diners and mom and pop shops. We aren’t fancy and don’t like spending a ton of money on food. So our friend Wendy recommended Tastys as a place we should try. Her recommendation …
Dough Life Edible Cookie Dough
Everyone knows you aren’t supposed to eat raw eggs. And recently I found this warning on a bag of flour: “Cook before sneaking a taste. Flour is raw. Please cook fully before enjoying.” So what is a cookie dough lover supposed to do? Dough Life is the answer! Dough Life Edible Cookie Dough opened a …
Gates BarBQ in Kansas City, Missouri
When people heard we were stuck in Kansas City last October, they always told us to be sure we got some BBQ. Obviously, BBQ and Kansas City are synonymous in many minds. We tried Kansas City BBQ before and were not impressed, but we were certainly willing to give it another try. So, after our …
Hickory Hut BBQ in Salina Kansas
Last week I wrote about traveling across the slow roads to Kansas. When we arrived in Junction City, Kansas, we parked the RV. The brake actuator needed to be replaced. While waiting on the brake actuator, we explored a little further afield than we had on previous trips to Junction City. One of the places …
