Ringside<Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

 

[Further]

I like Ringside most for steaks. The worst is by far El Goucho, that place is expensive as shit without the quality of product which one should expect from a high end joint.

 

[tlongII]

Ringside<Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

I disagree.

Podnah's Pit is delicious BBQ/southern food.

 

[BigGameDamian]

How about the Rhinelander German Restaurant?

Berlin Inn is better if you like German.

I've always wanted to try Gustav's. Is that place any good......I mean, for a chain?

 

[MickZagger]

Its alright, I'm not a huge fan. Its passable though. They have a really good happy hour and I tear up there fondue. As far as German choices though, its not at the top of my list.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I like Gustav's a lot. Great happy hour and some delicious beers.

 

[Further]

Just got back from firehouse on NE Dekum, my god that place is delicious, and this time all I did was happy hour. Happy hour is excellent, but go for their normal menu and be blown away by simple dishes done perfect. Their arancini is the best I've ever had and the hanger steak is incredible. Great brick oven pizza, you gotta try it. And it's decently priced.

No, a few times. Tonight had a caesar, fried cauliflower and shared an margarita pizza, as well as a couple glasses of house red. The other stuff was from previous visits.

It's good I have been there a few times.

Used to eat Ethiopian at a place called Jarra’s on Hawthorne, but it’s closed since this thread was made which is a bummer.

I think I’ve tried pretty much every other Ethiopian place in town. I’ve ordered from Enat’s kitchen a few times, but they recently changed their menu and don’t serve a full bone in chicken drumstick with the Doro wat which really made it a different dish. Figure it’s probably financial related.

Support these places you like!
