Good morning!
Eating out is one of my favorite things in the world, so how could I not participate in the Tuesday 4!
This week Ann asks ...
Do you like eating out with friends or would you rather have them over for a meal?
Unless it's a holiday, I'll always opt for a restaurant!
Let's go out to eat. You pick! Where are we going?
That depends.
Joining me from out-of-town? Let's head over to historic downtown Wetumpka for some pub fare served with a heavy Southern flair.
We don't eat out very often, but normally I'll suggest Longhorn Steakhouse.
Their comfy booths allow for conversation (without shouting). I love the heavy cloth napkins and am seriously besotted with their weighted steak knives.
What are you going to order tonight?
Salmon, creamed spinach .... perhaps a Tanqueray martini.
Are you going to have dessert? What will it be?
I wouldn't turn down a slice of cheesecake -- 'to go'.
How about you?
Heck, with the right company, I'd be delighted to break bread at Cracker Barrel or IHOP. Y'all come on over!
Hugs, Myra
I’m ready…let’s go!

Deleteif i go out to eat, i want it to be only me and bob, and its about the food not the resturant or persons.
ReplyDeleteIf I want to chat with a friend, new or old, anywhere is great. Like You and I at Cracker Barrel and I met Lola at Chic Fi La. Lola and I met Barbara at a resturant that is in a TRAIN, a Circus train. that was fun for talking and viewing. I like to meet friends for breakfast as long as it is not McDonalds i am good
I'd love to experience that Circus Train with you sometime!
DeleteWetumpka... are you talking about Wetumpka, Alabama? There aren't but one of those are there? My sister used to live just outside Wetumpka in Blue Ridge. I'm an Alabama girl myself but my home used to be in Jasper. Small world, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! We tried buying a home there in the historical section, but sadly it failed inspection.
DeleteI love your answers. I don't know any of the named restaurants you mention but I'd certainly like the Steakhouse. Pretty well done with French Fries please.
ReplyDeleteOh ... and cheesecake to follow.
Thanx and God bless.
Okay, I'll forgive your 'well done' if you forgive my 'medium rare.' (*grin*)
DeleteI do enjoy Longhorn Steakhouse! Always get a good meal there! While the Cracker Barrel is charming (and a favorite of my in-laws but that is another story for another day, lol), my stomach does not always agree with the food I eat there. I don't know if it is too much butter/oil they cook with but it does cause a bit of upset after eating there. I do like IHOP though! Who can resist pancakes. Now I must look up what is in a Tanqueray martini!
ReplyDeletebetty
True story! My former husband and his family all loved their martinis -- but I'd taste and make ugly faces. Now when I have one I think of them no longer here and imagine them smiling.
DeleteI'm with you I'd choose to go out to eat too. I don't get to do it very often and my favorites is Red Lobster. I love seafood and my favorite meal there is the Coconut Shrimp! It's been very good every time I've had it so I usually have that. The kids take me there for my birthday ! I love those steak knives too. They'd be wonderful to have ! Love, ma
ReplyDeleteRed Lobster's always a great choice! I can no longer eat shellfish, but love the cheddar biscuits!
DeleteYum! I'm down with any of those choices. I thought I was the only one who paid attention to Longhorn's steak knives. lol
ReplyDeleteHa! Unfortunately, I discovered they're frightfully expensive.
DeleteAnyone who can properly use the word "besotted" in a sentence has a special place in my heart (*smile*).
ReplyDeleteAwwww!
DeleteI am like you and would meet friends at just about any restaurant, take-out, or dive. After all the point of eating together is about the company.
ReplyDeleteYes! I sure missed that during the pandemic.
DeleteYes, I opt for restaurants too! That's a good choice restaurant to pick. That sounds like what I would order....yum! Of course I'm right there with you on the cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteThere's no wrong time for cheesecake!
DeleteThis was a fun Tuesday 4! I actually like IHOP. They have really good burgers and fries. The onion rings aren't bad either! I will make it up your way one of these days and will visit Wetumpka with you!! Can't wait! xo
ReplyDeleteMy go-to at IHOP is the spicy poblano omelet -- but it's good to know the burgers are good, too!
DeleteI like the look of those steak knives too! I also like the idea of quiet, comfortable booths. Thanks so much for joining in!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting!
DeleteI'm afraid we're not foodies, We do get Subway sandwiches for an occasional picnic. 😊
ReplyDeleteI love Subway!
DeleteWe have enjoyed reading, just haven't felt up to commenting. We do appreciate your comments and thoughts during a tough time. I was surprised at just how tough part of it was. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe are with you, unless it is a special day find a good restaurant with friends. My problem even before thie Covid Mess was NOT enjoying the restaurant foods as much as I have in the past.
Enjoyed the pictures, and as always your points of view...
Love from over here in NC.
Sherry & jack on the way back... AND AGAIN thanks for your prayers and concern, this was a toughie for me. BUT am thankful for my girl..
