to be like...) Also in Cloverdale, check out “Filet & Vine” (www.filetandvine.com — most locals will know it as “Dirk's”). It’s an above-average meat & three...(but) the thing I miss the most...

We are spending the night in the Decatur AL area and wondered where we should go for a good “local” casual dinner. Would also like a suggestion of a breakfast place in the Decatur area for south on I-65. Thanks!!

This morning, for breakfast, I stir-fied some of HEB’s prefab Al Pastor meat. The meat comes premarinated in a cry-o-vac pak, exhibiting an orange glow. It looked promising, ready to go. I also picked up some of the fresh...

Any suggestions for places to eat in Gulf Shores? We will be there a week in March. We would like ideas for casual places for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Thanks!!

In Tuscaloosa, the Waysider on Greeensboro Avenue has great breakfast biscuits and creamy grits, served with a slab or three of streak-o-lean and — in summer — a slice or two of redripe homegrown tomato. Don’t...

was there during lunch on Fri. and it was hard choosing between breakfast and lunch. Went with the sweet potato pancakes w/ turkey sausage for $6.25. Pancakes were lighter than some, good patties, nice service. Would like to try...

- pretty good meat and three with a fair bit of Southern character. I haven’t been there in years but understand Waysider is still the place for breakfast. If you make it into Birmingham, Highlands is good and I’m sure...

of the al pastor of the Roosevelt area as far as I’m concerned. If you want to be overwhelmed with al pastor, order the huevos con pastor breakfast. The place El Poblano near 75th is OK. They have a mini-spit going usually,...

Is there anywhere in or near San Diego to get good Al Pastor tacos? (Either on the spit or “fake-made”)...are there any clandestine spit pastor taco makers in a certain area? Taco trucks with good sauce? I like Mama...

Shores. Haven’t been there, but the original is pretty good. For breakfast or lunch try San Roc Diner in the San Roc Cay shopping area.

I grew up going to Nate 'n Al's. The quality has suffered a little in recent years, but they still have some good items like the Nate 'n Al sandwich, chef salad (chopped), chopped liver. It was better when Al and his son Barry...

Will be passing through Birmingham in July, staying the night. Would like some ideas for local places for breakfast and dinner. Not overly expensive, but local flavor is preferred. Will be staying in Hoover.

Sorry I saw your post too late to help! Maybe you can get breakfast at Blue Plate before you leave. Where did you go? This is what I wrote before I realized it was too late: For fried catfish and hush puppies go to Greenbrier BBQ...

My husband and I will be traveling to Mobile in August with our 10 year old daughter. We will only be there for dinner on Friday, all meals on Saturday and breakfast and possibly brunch on Sunday. What are our must not miss...

!) The baby iceberg salad was yummy, also like the calamari. Clams on last visit were divine. Corkage fee 15 dollars, very fair. No, it’s not cheap but few places are in the area. BTW, Center Street Cafe does a great...
