For Springfield, IL I’d highly recommend a horseshoe. You can’t get them too many other places. It consists of Texas toast, some kind of meat, fries, and cheese sauce. It’s a lot of food, none of it good for...

Terminis has amazing amaretto horseshoe cookies. They have a light amaretto flavor, are crispy on the outside, soft inside and have dark chocolae dipped on the ends. Mmmmmm...

Thomas Haas is up in North Van, so not too far away. Great for coffee and pastries or chocolate... and I think they offer light lunch (sandwiches, etc) also.

Since Akutagawa is a famous Japanese writer, I suspect it’s something they invented, sort of like having a sandwich named the Nelson Algren.

." Cresswell Arms 19 High Street Newbiggin-By-The-Sea NE64 6DR I returned a few times to the Three Horseshoes. Their chef still continues to have generally good dishes with only a few misses here or there. A venison dish was good the...

The nearest place in MA I can think of with good beer is the Horseshoe Pub in Hudson. No pizza, but their burgers and sandwiches are quite good – unfortunately cannot say the same about their entrees. You could also try...

We did something similar for the Super Bowl, kept the blue cheese and added fresh jalapenos & serranos. I think we also put cheddar and sriracha. There were people making sandwiches out of it!

I actually think Desmond’s has pretty decent pub grub, especially the buffalo chicken sandwich (it’s grilled instead of fried). Sadly, there is NO atmosphere on that patio (if it’s the same as it used to...

I’ll be heading to KC from northwest Indiana for new year’s eve and coming back a few days later. I’m planning on BBQ in Kansas City, pizza in STL, and a horseshoe in Springfield, as well as some other regional...

Not too far away is Verrill Farm in Concord. I’ve actually never payed very close attention to their produce, but they make excellent baked goods, sandwiches, and prepared foods. Their pies are my all-time favorite.

. Lots of fresh seafood and plenty of other entrees as well. It’s a nice atmosphere but I would definitely get a reservation for a group of that size. I’ve had a few nice dinners at the top of the Horseshoe - but...

Lake in Harrison is another, fine pub/family restaurant choice. It’s not ON Long Lake, but it is a short, scenic walk away. The best place to stop for sandwiches and lunch in the Lakes Region is the Maine Bean, at the corner...

Options on 18th between Chestnut and Walnut: DiBruno’s Pronto – Italian take-out (soon to be on Chestnut). Great sandwiches, pre-made salads, quiches, hot foods. Paninoteca – panini sandwiches. Yann Patisserie...

Very glad to hear it. We have family in the area and have usually gotten perfectly good sandwiches on 6th, I think, but I’d much rather eat at Mekong Cafe. Thanks for posting about it, I’ll try to get there next...

Agreed. The food can vary in quality, depending on how slammed they are. A June lunch got us great fish sandwiches, but dinner this Sat night yielded overfried clams and fish & chips that were way too crispy. The beer is still v...
