Vacation Planning

There are some great restaurants in the towns I’ve mentioned this week, so be sure to check them out.

In Cartersville:

Ming Moon - this is truly the very best Chinese food you’ll find anywhere. The restaurant was founded by a very young man, and he has slowly built it into a local favorite with great food and great service. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors perfection. But this recommendation does come with a warning - once you eat there, you’ll have to go back!

The Four-Way and Ross’s Diner - these two landmarks are located in downtown Cartersville, and the best advice I can give you is to go early for breakfast or lunch. If you wait until peak times, you’ll either wait in line or you won’t get a seat at all. They’re both tiny places with really good, really cheap food, and the locals kept them running for over 60 years.

Doug’s Place, just down Hwy. 293 in Emerson (about 5 minutes away), is a great place for any meal. It too is filled with locals, but it’s large enough to handle a crowd. If you want some good homecooking in a casual, comfortable atmosphere, this is the place to be. Doug Jr’s opened up in Cartersville a couple of years ago, and although I’ve not been there, I hear it’s as good as the original.

In Savannah:

Paula Deen fans will want to try The Lady & Sons restaurant, but be sure to get there early and expect to stand in line. Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House is another good option for fans.

On Tybee Island, you must try The Crab Shack. It’s nothing like the chain restaurants - it’s a unique experience all its own. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed, and beachy - perfect for dining on vacation.
