Ruth Anns, Columbus, Ga

http://www.ruthannsrestaurant.net/

Ruth Ann's was my go-to spot when I needed a Fried Green Tomato. :)
They serve down home cooking at a great price.
Ruth Ann's has been around since 1959 and as a landmark of Columbus, they are here to stay! 

The breakfasts are as big as the plates they are served on and I have rarely finished my dish. The warm foods will melt in your mouth with a taste of home!

Ruth Ann, herself, still sits at the front door, greeting folks as they come in. They open early and are open 7 days a week.
They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and are kid friendly.

The chicken dumplings were a bit on the salty side the last time I had them. But I will still have them again.

Need your morning fix?
Lasaters Coffee in Clarksville, Tn carrys some of the smoothest coffee and a variety of teas, pastries, sandwiches and wraps, along with 7 different oatmeals. All of which are All-Natural.
They have also started serving soups.

I have been hooked on them since we moved to Clarksville!
The only dessert I did  not like was the chocolate brownie with icing. It tasted very bland. But have been completely satisfied with everything else. 

They host a game/date night and have several giveaways.

Los Tres Amigos, Latwon, oklahoma

Well, when we started going here it was Los Dos Amigos. I guess they added an Amigo! :)
We absolutely love this place. Mexican dining at its best.

It was and still is a family favorite whenever we are in the area. The chimichangas are the BOMB! and the homemade salsa and queso........ YUM!
They serve fresh tortillas with salsa and they are so crisp and light.
If you cant make it out to oklahoma here is a recipe for you to try at home straight from their restaurant...
