Tripps

Pros: good food
Cons: Steaks cooked just a tad too hot

Nick and I both are pretty anti-mush, so for Valentines Day there is no flowers or candy or any of that junk. We do both, however, love to eat. heh. Sooo going out to dinner is a long time tradition. Of course we eat out 5 out of 7 days a week anyway.... ...

Pros: Charred steaks
Cons: Charred steaks

My husband and I wanted to try a different restaurant, so we headed over to Tripp's in Asheville, NC. The first time I ever saw a Tripp's restaurant was at Myrtle Beach. We didn't have time to eat there, but figured we could try the one ...

Pros: The food is consistently delicious.
Cons: I forget about it.

Tripps is an oft-forgotten restaurant in Hickory, NC for us. I don't know why this is, because we love going there. The location isn't bad, either, it just seems to be overlooked in my head. I'm going to do something about that, and soon. This ...

Pros: Good food, ambiance a step above most chains

Pros: Good food, more variety than other chains
Cons: Prices have gone way up

Pros: Great atmosphere and food for a reasonable price.
Cons: None

I go to Tripp's once every couple of months and have never had a bad experience. The atmosphere is tasteful and understated (muted colors and brass fixtures), the waitstaff is knowledgeable and friendly (they make great recommendations if you can't...
