    Where are the best ethnic food places in the 40/42 area? There are so many places to choose from. So far I like the Jumbo China Buffet in the WalMart plaza, La Cocina is awesome, and Papa Joes pizza is great. What are your favorites?

    GG they actually use REAL butter. Not margarine.

    If more restaurants would use real/not thrifty products just to try and save a penny, they would get more business.

    I think I may go here tonight!

    Quality baby!

    Someone advised me that the new Mexican restaurant on East Main Street in Clayton is very nice and the food was excellent. This is located on Main Street close to Hudson Hardware. It was the original location of Andys in Clayton. All the businesses in this small strip mall are Mexican oriented.
    Anyone tried this restaurant yet?

    You cannot get really good Chinese/Mexican/pizza at a chain restaurant.

    If you want good, you need to go to an out of the way, Mom & Pop place.

    The last good Mexican restaurant around here used to be across from the Howell theatre. It's long closed, though.

    Jumbo China Buffet in WalMart plaza. Never. This is the Chinese Restaurant that was almost shut down a couple of years ago because of sanitation concerns. One of the concerns was while the inspector was in the restaurant one of the employees sampled an item on the buffet, took one bite, and put the remaining portion back in the serving tray. My understanding is it was a member of the managements family. Is this employee still there? Enjoy your Jumbo China Buffet!

    Mexican: Mucho Mexico in Smithfield is pretty good
    Italian: Venero's
    Chinese - usually use Jumbo China beside Fl at 40/42

    Chili's at White Oak is also a favorite for several entrees!

    Not included in the thread heading but I have to say:
    Deli/Bagels - Big Steves - does not get any better than a toasted onion bagel sandwich at Big Steves!
