Tried and true pubs are my favorite places to grab a meal and drinks.
We've got quite a few here that have solid menus, reliably good food, and even if there's hardly any staff, it's just a shuffle to the bar for a quick refill on the liquids and there's no one hovering around with a crumb brush. I don't get to go to pubs much these days because I often have my niece along, but that's where I gravitate when I have a chance.
I'm not a fan of expensive restaurants -- but sometimes when I'm outta town and meet up with a group it's an inevitability and I enjoy trying fancy joints. Often it seems the prices are based on the image and the number of people on the floor though, as compared to the quality of the food and the experience. I only care about the latter two.
