Restaurant not in your town that you wish was.

[Judson1]

This may get a lot of laughs but for me one is the Lizards Thicket. I’m a meat n three guy and I just like it.
Come on down to north Augusta!

Another is Skins hotdogs. I hate they closed their Greenwood location as my daughter will be attending Lander this fall. I can eat a dozen of those little things!

 

[ClowneyPosse]

Lizards used to be great. Now its evolved into decent cafeteria food to me.

I'd say Taco Boy. I could name at least 10.

Shealy's was 1b to Jackie's 1a. Miss that place.

I would also like to have a Tim Horton's, when I travel up north and northwest I like to have a cup of Tim Horton's coffee...not as good as Starbucks but on par...

Skyline Chili in Cincinnati

You just made me vomit in my mouth. LOL. All I heard growing up watching mlb was how good the chili was in Cincinnati. Moved to Cincy a few years ago. Went to Skyline, tried one bite of that stuff they call “chili” AWFUL. If you have to dress up chili with noodles or cheese - it ain’t chili. Give me a good Texas fire-kicking chili any day. Skyline and Goldstar aren’t good.

But to each his own.

 

[haneynfl]

For a local - I miss The Beacon or Holmes lunch. For a fast food chain - I miss Zaxby’s.

Most have closed or closing.

 

[Bubbaglide]

Beacon, Clock drive in (Pete’s, Tic Toc, Carolina Fine foods) Cootie Browns from Johnson City, the Thicket isn’t as good as it once was. Skins in Anderson

 

[gfluvsthecocks]

Hometeam BBQ. Used to live in Charleston and miss the nachos and wings.

 

[gamecockengineer2011]

Portillos from Chicago

 

[Johnnie Cockran]

The greater Columbia area has everything I need.

 

[Judson1]

Nope. Been an empty Ryan’s in North Augusta for years. I asked the Thicket to come.

 

[DarnSteph]

Any real BBQ

Sir, in all due respect you don't know what a good hot dog is. Try the Clock Drive-Inn beside Bob Jones University, in Greenville.

I pass 1 or 2 of those restaurants approaching Greenville, coming up hwy 25 from greenwood. Is that the same place you’re referring to?

 

[jimnasium]

Believe it or not Waffle House

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

We use to have a Fatz and it closed up due to poor management. I miss that restaurant- had great baby back ribs. I would love to have a Charlie's Steak House. I know they have closed but boy I wish we had one in Marion.

Also, a Peddler Steak House like the one in Greenville. Peddler's has the best Prime Rib I've ever eaten.

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

No, the one I'm referring to is on the other side of Greenville on Hwy 29.

 

[SCexpat38]

Rush's.

Same here. I'd say Skins second.

They sell it down here in cans because of all the transplanted Ohoans.

 

[lilburncock]

Being in an Atlanta suburb I have developed a taste for the Varsity's chili slaw dog.
Another one I would like to have is The Zesto from triangle city or Chapin.

Oh, man, I would be SET if there were a Lizard's Thicket anywhere in Montana. I would love to have a Cracker Barrel and a Chick Fil-A closer than a 2.5hr drive from my house.

 

[Dizzy01]

Magiano’s. The family style meal is great with a group.

 

[gamecock1999]

Legal Remedy in Rock Hill is the best pub food I’ve ever eaten. Wish we had one near the law school in Columbia...I’d sure invest.

 

[cockgun]

Live in Columbia and have traveled the world. The best steak and Martini, bar none, is New York Prime in Myrtle Beach. Sorry, but it is true.

 

[CockofEarle]

Freddie is referring to corner of 291 & Wade Hampton Blvd.....across from woodland cemetery.

 

[martwing]

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse......Cincinnati

 

[DeepfriedCock]

I've tried Lake Bowen fish camp it's good, but it don't hold a candle to The Flounder fish camp.

 

[Legendary Cock]

Living in southern Colorado, I would love to have an Outback and maybe a PF Changs.

 

[Gamecocks321]

Dairy Queen. I hate having to drive 40 minutes for a blizzard.

 

[Forever Fowl]

Here in Columbia we could sure use a fish camp like you find around Spartanburg or Gastonia. Forget the overpriced Blue Marlin version on Oak Drive. I miss Jack's Diner in Hilton for their incredible baby catfish and stew. Can't find the baby bone-in catfish at restaurants anymore just the big rubbery muddy tasting filets.

It would be great to have a Trout House ( like the one in Gatlinburg ) in the Midlands.

Skins would do a huge business in Columbia which is devoid of great hotdogs. Folks here haven't discovered steamed buns and what I refer to as upstate chili aka beer joint chili.

Can you imagine a Beacon in 5 Points? You'd never get in the door. I'd settle for an Ike's or New-way in Irmo

Would love to see one of those upstate Greek chains like the Clock or Petes open in Columbia. Their sliced/roast pork BBQ sandwich ( similar to the Beacon's Slice ) is something not found in the Midlands.

FWIW I bought some frozen Skyline Chili at Publix and couldn't get it down. The only time I've been so disappointed was with Dreamland's BBQ ( membrane attached ) ribs.
