Favorite Restaurant Side Dish

[OldDawg]

I have always loved Damon's onion loaf. Recently had the Bloomin' onion for the first time.

I also was shocked to really like fried green beans with a dip at Fridays. I don't even like green beans.

Call me low end guy, but does it get any better than fresh Wendy's fries? I dunk 'em in a mix of katchup and their chilli hot sauce.

Boston Market mac spirals and cheese are good, too.

Carabba's mashed potatos...

[4thQtrGlory]

boston market's mac n cheese is superfly. TGI Fridays fried green beans, applebees mex rice, cheddar mashed potatoes from anywhere that has them, boston markets stuffing, wing stop's french fries, red robin's parm garlic fries

Arthur Treachers hush puppies.

I like the steamed veggies at Outback when I'm there.

The garlic mashed potatoes at Ferrante's are perfect too with their veal scallopini entre'.

Arthur Treachers hush puppies.

+1

Hush Puppies are a very underrated side dish and Arthur's Treachers are the best ones.

In Solon, the Glenwillow Grill makes killer mashed potatoes. I am not a big mashed tater fan but theirs are to die for. Also, anytime a restaurant provides a side other than fries or chips, say a good mac and cheese, baked beans, or cole slaw, I am totally on board.

Red Lobster used to have real good hush puppies. I haven't eaten there in a while, however (not much of a seafood guy).

Agreed on the fries choice. I love their fries and their burgers.

I like BK fries (not as well as Wendy's). Don't they cook them in peanut oil??

Tony Packo's deep fried pickles - unbelievable. If anyone ever gets to Toledo, first I apologize it is such a shit hole, secondly go to Tony Packo's it is out of this world. Favorite restaurant of all time

Man, that sounds great. I gotta try those when I get out that way. Isn't that the hot dog place that Klinger always talked about in the series M*A*S*H? That and the Toledo Mud Hens.

Yes, it is my favorite restaurant of all time. I am from Toledo and everytime I get back to town I have to stop there. The pickles are sold in most Heinens (for you NEOers) they are the best pickle ever. The Hot dogs (hungarian sausages) with chili sauce, unreal, chili, some of the best... chicken paprikas, cabbage rolls, etc... the place is amazing.

Ive always wondered why they havent expanded. One of those next to the Jake and Q would be amazing.

I second this take. Packo's is great and I stop anytime I am within earshot of Toledo. Great food and great atmosphere. Make sure to stop at the original one on Front Street right off of I-280. Its got a lot of memorabilia from M*A*S*H on the walls.

[CohibaTC]

This really isnt a side item, its more of a dessert. But the new Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake Bites at Sonic are the BOMB!

You gotta try them if you havent already.

Egg rolls are one of my favorites as well. Love the ones with the mini shrimps in them. Crisp, not soggy.

With every bite dipped that hot mustard that is almost too hot to take. Almost.

Cheese Wontons with sweet and sour sauce are good too.
Arby's curly fries dipped in the horseradish sauce are also a fine culinary experience.

Ya have to get that table mustard. Even on carry out I makes sure they get me a couple small containers of the mustard off the table and not that shit that comes in the packets.

Good gyros, good french fries. Kid friendly. And they have a crispy chicken salad my wife loves.

Prolly my favorite of all the loud, kid friendly, chainy restaurants within driving distance of me.

I am glad to have opened up some discussion on Rockne's. I love the place.

However, my original post was wrong. The fried sweat potatoes were from On-Tap in Summit County. Right side dish, wrong restaurant. Sorry guys...

You can find this on the spice isle at any Giant Eagle or Heinen's. It's dry mustard seed, ground into a powder. Add water and you have a dead ringer for Chinese mustard.

I've always seen this at the grocery and never knew what it was used for?

Thx for the tip Matt!!!

I thought it was like Gold Bond.

My favorite soup in the universe...

Olive Garden's Zupa Tuscana. Its a potato and italian sausage soup.

We get their soup and salad...
And their salad is awesome, too...
As is the never-ending bread basket...
Best part is, it is all you can eat...

Last time we ate there, I downed about six bowls of that soup, a pound of bread sticks, enough salad to feed a family of rabbits. And then our waitress brings us a container of soup (and order of breadsticks) for the road. She got a nice tip!!

[dazindiansfanuk]

For me it's Garlic Bread, but not your standard Garlic Bread..... there's a restaurant near me (Bel & Dragon) which serves freshly baked bread with an entire roast bulb of Garlic..... you then spread the whole cloves of Garlic on the bread and dip it in olive oil..... it's just awesome stuff...... also, I've found it's pretty easy to make at home too!
