    Sorry I already started eating it.  Chicken fried steaks chops taters biscuit and gravy and two eggs over easy.

    DINNING OUT. STEPPING OUT RVing Today we ate in a restaurant for the first time since mid March (60 days) and that was on the patio. It's a long time family owned restaurant in the historic town of Gainesboro Tennessee. It was a long skinny restaurant with booths lining both sides with no tables in the center and every other booth was closed off. The lady wore gloves, wash them often with sanitizer and also change the gloves often. We watch her sanitizethe every bit of the table and booth when people left. Everything on the table was new. Ketchup came to you in a little containers, no salt and pepper shakers but a salt and pepper packets. Same with cream and sugar, silverware came in a little bag, Nothing another customer could've touched. Also plastic between you and the cashier. Felt very safe eating there.. I had chicken fried steak, two eggs over easy with chopped taters and a biscuit and gravy. I forgot to take the picture before I messed my plate up, but it was one of the best chicken fried steaks I've had in about 10 years. And get this, it was only $6.50. I've paid $18 for the same meal, but of course served with fancy silverware and a white table cloth. And the lady was so nice. But I think that's the norm in Tennessee. We noticed the young men coming in to pick up takeout orders using yes ma'am and thank you ma'am. I hope my California rudeness didn't show through. Definitely going back.

    This place is right up the street from me in the nations and I cannot get enough of their delicious…read morePhilly cheesesteaks ! Super authentic Philly cheesesteak, I like mine with a white American and double meat and onions, and nothing else (except I asked for two of those red cherry hot peppers on the side) They serve a cheesesteaks piping hot. I mean, like burn your mouth hot so settle down get a cold beer and relax. A full bar here and it's quite the cool scene so pick a fun night and enjoy !

    It was an odd coincidence. On the day I finally made it to Brotherly Love, I happened to be wearing…read morea Flyers T-shirt and was heading to Philadelphia on a flight in a few hours. None of those occurrences were even connected, just an improbable collision of different factors. But you don't have to be a Philly sports fanatic to enjoy this place. As a frequent traveler to Philadelphia who knows what a real cheesesteak tastes like, I can tell you Brotherly Love is legit! They get their rolls from New Jersey's Amoroso Baking Company founded in 1904, the only allowable bread for an authentic cheesesteak. They appease all cheesesteak aficionados by offering the three most popular cheeses including provolone (always my choice), Cheez Whiz (crazy, but some people swear by it), and white American cheese. Even more impressively, they use Cooper Sharp, Philadelphia's preferred American cheese for cheesesteaks founded in 1893! Wow! They know their stuff! Ordering products from the Amoroso and Cooper companies alone are enough to impress me. But the proof is in the finished product. And the cheesesteak here is indeed a wonderful sandwich. The meat had a couple of dry sections but was overall very tender. And the fried cheese curds with marinara are highly recommended!! Come check it out. And go Birds!!
