Yeah, pls. share the menu of some restaurant choices (local 'to you') that are not really chains, but have great food. Novelty places are a plus - you may wanna post menu links and their physical business signs.
Food topics have always gone over well. I have several in mind, but i'll wait and join up, later.

Dagwoods is still there. I drive by it on the way to work ever once in awhile. Strasser Hardware is still going strong too. [Reply]
when I lived in Grandview about 7 years ago or so, there was a place right off Blue Ridge and 470 (South of 470; East side of BR) called "Bee Cee's.".
Great BBQ; generous portions; excellent prices. used to hit up that place all the time. and it certainly qualified as a 'dive'. Owner was usually always there; real friendly dude.
This joint seats like 12 max. They are one hell of a good greasy spoon. These people are just goddamn happy being a greasy spoon. Both the husband and wife are there everyday.
Want a burger bigger than your head? Ask Nzoner (who clogged Bob Dole's toilet) about Guy's Orange Stand in Nash. They also have an in-house orange drink served with a cup of freshly roasted salted peanuts you're supposed to dump in the cup. (Bob Dole has never understood the fascination with this, but it's unique.)
TLC Burgers on Broad Street http://www.yelp.com/biz/tlc-burgers-and-fries-texarkana has a great burger and fresh cut fries covered with their "Red River Sand". It's not nearly as entertaining now that the old woman version of the Soup Nazi no longer works there, but the food is still top notch. (They're only open from 11:30am until 3:30pm, or something like that.)
The Green Tomato has always done Bob Dole right, but kindra68 always complains about the food she gets from there. http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/301/1445...mato-Texarkana Fried green tomatoes and an open face pot roast sammich FTW.
Bob Dole has probably had everything on the menu at Fat Jack's Oyster Bar http://www.yelp.com/biz/fat-jacks-oy...orts-texarkana and all of it has been good. Probably best to stay away if you don't like smoke, and definitely do NOT go into the kitchen. Live music Thursday-Saturday nights as a bonus. [Reply]
haha, was getting to the end of the thread thinking the same thing...
Hays ftmfw!
Big Burger was much cooler though when it was the "Dairy Maid" drive-in... [Reply]
Longboards in the Northland is supposed to be really good... I've heard really good things about it from coworkers, but never seem to make it there for lunch...
