RtD2015 - Thursday night dinner ideas
The past couple of events I have organized a group to meet for dinner at the Montview Bistro (the fancy restaurant in the Fontana lodge) on Thursday night. I'd like to see who is still interested in that, and also to hear of any other ideas anyone has as far as another option.
Last fall I got to taste the BBQ joint that sets up at Deal's Gap and it was fantastic - but I am unsure how late he hangs around, such that we'd be able to get dinner there. Further, it's outdoor dining so we're at the mercy of the weather. Years ago a group of primarily the OKI group would stop for dinner at Hooters in Maryville before heading across the Foothills & Dragon to get to Fontana. Despite some herculean efforts by certain members, we were never able to get Hooters girls to our events
Alternatively, there's a McDonald's not too far away in Robbinsville 
Who is interested in a more local dinner on Thursday, and what ideas do you have??

Andy there's a Mexican place in Robbinsville that not bad. I will be heading back with you from the Exxon in Maryville. Remember I am leading a drive up to the Skyway. See you soon man.

Glad to hear I won't be making that drive alone, BD! Not sure I'll be making the Skyway drive that night, it's already a long day of driving for me.

Lynn's place up the hill from microtel never disappoints. There is also a Cuban (hungry bear cafe)place across the street from microtel which is decent. On the adjacent corner there is another small place to grab a quick bite. On the opposite side of town there is also a newer place (the hub)with some covered bike parking which make good sandwiches and coffee, keep going past that place and there is another place on the left serving pizza,etc.
That pretty much covers all the mom and pop places. If its late and your in a pinch, huddle house is 24h

Well damn, two of the best looking places - Hungry Bear Cafe & The Hub, both close mid-day. It looks like Lynn's Place and Pacifico (mexican) are the only ones that would be open for dinner.
