Surprisingly good sandwich on the road

[the ringo kid]

There is a chain restaurant called "Cheddars" in the South. Seems like I have seen their stores around Austin as well. They have a pretty good Monte Cristo on the menu. It looks like the one in ditrina's post.

Beat to it again.

Great breakfast joints on Clearwater Beach/ Sand Key Fl. Both worth a visit if you're in the 'hood.

Clearwater Sand Key Breakfast - Maggie Mae's

Clear Sky Beachside Cafe - Clearwater Beach - Clearwater | Urbanspoon

I've eaten at both those. A+.
Some joint right on the dock in Ana Maria sold me the best grouper sanwich I ever ate, too....I gotta get back there.

Cheddars serves a great Monte Cristo. They are between Red Lobster and Golden Corral Restaurants on S.P.I.D.

O.K. Let's get together and go try one, Ringo.

If you want to in April? please let me know--ill buy but will let you pay the tip.

Also--great Chicken Fried Steak, Shepard Pie, Chicken Strips but, I havent had any of their burgers---yet. Also great for a soup and salad lunch.

I love being surprised.....

I love being surprised like that. I was in my Grandparents small town and there was a place that was literally a 'hole in the wall'. They had a porthole door in the side of a brick building. You'd put you order in and a few minutes later a hand would stick out the hole with your order. Just like you, I wasn't expecting much, so I ordered a generic 'ham sandwich' figuring nobody could mess that up much. When the sandwich popped out the hole it was a slab of steaming ham with the ham and the trimmings hanging off the sides of the bread. Best dang ham sandwich I ever had!
