    The fellini's at howell mill we have always been allowed to use the post office across the street.

    Also kudos on the Canton Cooks, pretty much the only chinese restaurant i go to. Reminds me of NYC a bit.

    tasty china in marietta is better :|

    tried to get shringles to use that one, but it isn't too big inside, probably not the best spot for a bigger group

    ok i'll agree with that one, but thats away from my house, and i had a friend that knew the owners so whenever I went with her we just got seated and food came out, was kinda weird but awesome. sigh wish that applied to me.

    no Vietnamese rest.? or KRN BBQ? lol.... i like the buffalo wild wings, is it similar to Taco Mac as far as location goes? not sure if wild wings is too far out the way? since we have taco mac listed twice. just curious MATT, don't shoot. me. lol :p

    hahah... I'll answer all of them for you.

    vietnamese and korean bbq are too specific. Anyone is more than welcome to put a meet together for something that, but it's not for everyone, so turnouts might be lower.

    Just like anyone is more than welcome to put a meet together in a different area. I'm trying to get as large a turnout as possible every tuesday. Different locations and types of food steer people away, and that's not the goal of the tuesday night meets.. at least after 10 years of doing it. :p

    Buffalo Wild Wing... there's really no decent locations. We've tried them all and were let down over and over again. And their food is mediocre (not saying that t.mac is better, but they have better beer.) :p

    We briefly discussed twin peaks and tilted kilt, but again, always had subpar service or mediocre food.

    TK Cumberland has good service, the rest suck, and since I moved away from Cumberland I've never gone back. Never tried a Twin Peaks.
    Wait, are we talking mounds or meets?

    we have done TK cumberland before, and with a big group as Matt said have always had subpar service. A big reason Taco Mac ends up on the list multiple times every year is their ability to accommodate our large group with typically decent service

    The one time I went to TP, it was pretty good service. Our only complaint was that the LIT Jenn had was so strong she couldn't drink it. Lol. On the subject of TK...There used to be one here on Windward, but it looks like it closed for good. I've also had mediocre service and subpar food at BWW.

    As long as you give pretty good notice, it's been my experience that this community LOVES dinner meets. We've done a couple Friday night meets at Chuy's, a Pho restaurant, more than I remember. Lol. If you want a WRXAtlanta meet at a restaurant, just put it together, and people WILL show up! :cool::cool:

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Ditto that. They have great service, a huge beer menu that if you went every day for a year, I don't think you could try every beer. Anyway, there's also lots of locations around Atlanta, so that helps too. :)

    Study hard and then take a break with the dinner meet! You don't have to stay the whole time...Come and have a water or a coke or something and chill out for a bit, then get back to studying! It's well worth it! :)
