anyone else ever have a meal at this fine restaurant, The Hereford House in Kansas City?

What restaurant, anyplace in the United States, would you recommend as a "must stop"?

If you are ever in my neck of the woods, EVER, you will have to eat at The Granville Inn. Below is a link.

I like the Dobbin House in Gettysburg, Pa. With my current income it's a memory but if you don't mind a fairly expensive meal, it's as good as any!

St. Elmo's in indianapolis is quite nice, supposed to be among the top 5 steakhouses in the country although slightly overpriced. Another lost cost alternative is shula's. You'll usually hear the announcers talk about it if they are here for MNF. A great deal of athletes and local entertainment frequent it, but its decently private and moderately priced.

I have been to Ruths Chris many times for lunch and a few times for dinner. My favorite meal to order there is the cajun prime rib dib. It is just the best ive ever had, you get this huge sandwich filled with perfectly cooked slices of prime rib. Usually, I tell them to add some swiss or cheddar cheese, also you get a platter full of their fries. For 20 dollars I really cant complain about my favorite meal for lunch. The crabcakes there are a bit bland, the steaks are very good but are really nothiing to rave over.

I've never had lunch there before... the location here in Orlando isn't open for lunch at all. I've been there twice and wasn't that impressed.

I forgot to mention earlier... the best steak I have ever had was at a small local place on Sanibel Island (FL) called The Sanibel Steak House. Best steak AND best chocolate martini I've ever had.

The Stoned Crab in the Bahamas is a great place to eat as well.
