Favorite places in the US for homestyle cooking
 

I live in Dallas and there is a restaurant called Celebration that serves family style. Wonderful Pot Roast and Chicken Fried Steak. Just curious what are your favorites.

In Omaha, there is a dive in a not so nice area, called The 11-Worth cafe-great chicken fried steak w/ double mashed potatoes, and lots of gravy!! (to go though ie.."not so nice area"

Now I am getting reallllllll hungry!!!

This just goes to show you what haute cuisine is considered in america. Such lack of taste.

How about Threadgills in Austin! Be sure and bring your Mastercard cause they don't accept American Express!!

Hey, back off, "xx" -- the question specifies "homestyle" cooking, which quite clearly has nothing to do with "haute cuisine." Take that stupid ax and grind it somewhere else.<BR><BR>Now then: you want Mama Dip's in Chapel Hill, NC. Her cooking has been featured on ABC GMA, the food channel, etc., and her cookbook has been a bestseller. You only think you know what Southern Fried Chicken is all about until you've actually tasted hers, not to mention her great Sunday breakfast. Sweet potato pie? And as for the barbecue......!<BR><BR>She now has her own website, which makes things just a tad less homey IMHO, but at least you can check it out: www.mamadips.com

Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House in Savannah, GA.

On our honeymoon, we went to Amelia Island, FL. There is place there called the Florida House Inn. You can also stay there. It is family style and they bring the food out to you and keep bringing it for as long as you eat it! Fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, biscuits with honey, greens, banana pudding, pie etc... The lunch was like $6 or $7!!! The cook's name was Ms. Ella...excellent food!

xxx go blow yourself, you miserable fuck...

I have tried Mama Dip's and wasn't<BR>at all impressed. Very over-rated.

Hey- don't use that f word around us Southern ladies! Unless it's FRY yourself, LOL! Shakertown Village in Harrodsburg, KY. Bowls and bowls passed down the tables of one delicious thing after another, youm.

OK Cafe in Atlanta, GA. Best chicken pot pie and mashed potatoes anywhere!

OK Cafe is good. I'd forgotten about that. My favorite is Slogar's in Crested Butte, CO.

Rexall Pharmacy in Duluth, GA (Atlanta) for lunch

Wishbone, Chicago IL

Your moms were apparently all much better cooks than mine. My idea of "homestyle cooking" is Kitsch'n on Roscoe in Chicago (in Roscoe Village) - mac & cheese, fish sticks, meatloaf. The decor also reminds me of being a kid in the 70's. Now, if only I could find a place that serves chicken meat chopped up and stirred into Rice-a-Roni, it would be just like home.

at Kitsch'n in Chicago you can were your pj's and they have pop tarts on the menu

And Twinkies.

Another vote for Mrs. Wilkes in Savannah.<BR>Biscuits at the Roanoker (in Roanoke, VA)

I've been to Mama Dip's once and wasn't very impressed. I thought it would be much better, what with all the write-ups.
