Haven't seen this one yet so I'll add to the list - Proudfoot & Bird
This is in the expensive, and overly fancy category, but we had a great meal about a year ago and really enjoyed it

Johnny's Steakhouse if you're looking for someplace a little nicer. Wellmans if they are more into the bar vibe. Bravo is a decent Italian chain restaurant next to Jordan Creek Mall.
My ex was half Lebanese. Even she said their baba ghanoush is the best she's ever had. They used to have a cioppino that was fantastic. I miss that broth they used...
Can’t believe you play favorites with your kids like that

It's disappointing to read poor reviews for Ruth's. Their filet is hard to beat compared to similar steakhouses. I usually only eat there while I'm on vacation and have never had a bad experience. Hopefully the WDM location is able to improve their service.
I don’t know why you’d go to a chain when this thread is proving there are tons of great local places
We very much enjoy Club Car in Clive. The service is good; we always have good food + solid cocktails.
Manhattan Deli lovers, there's an Instagram account that is going through the entire menu of Manhattan Deli, one sandwich per week.

It's been fun to watch them try every sandwich.

If you're able to support them, please do!
New owners have been getting crushed by all the construction work on Ingersoll Avenue
We also live close to Club Car and walk over for drinks and appetizers a lot. Jason the bartender is great and I like all the food I've had there. I've seen some bad reviews that seem valid but I haven't had a bad experience myself.
I like the one in Clive. I've been there often for lunch since it's close to my office.
