Favorite restaurant?

Today after church I went with a couple of friends to one of my favorite restaurants. It has great food and is really inexpensive. The problem is, we got there and the restaurant was closed, boards on the windows and one of the two signs has been taken down. It was always busy, not sure what's up with that. I am hoping it is just for remodeling (hope springs eternal, right?). Seriously, it is so sad. When I'm thinking about my budget I have a hard time trying a place and spending money, wondering if I'll like the food. I like to try new places but I like having someplace tried and true that I know will be worth the expense. Oh well. We ended up at another restaurant that was really good, but wasn't as wonderfully priced. How about you, do you have a favorite restaurant?
