Maybe an area in between the strip district and Lawrenceville since you guys are a bit older. If you want to get blacked out on a sticky bar floor at 2 am, go to the southside.

I've had mixed experiences with Xfinity, some places its sucked, some places it has been awesome. Currently its awesome where I live.

But if I had a choice it would be Fios 100%, never had bad experience.

Side note - I went on a little vacation last year to the Parkersburg, WV area (actually just across the river on Ohio) and they had this "Western Sizzlin" steakhouse that seemed like a Ponderosa - and was supposed to have a nacho bar. My wife loves nacho's so it seemed like a no-brainer that we had to go.

No nacho bar. We ordered the most expensive steak (still not that expensive) and it was Kings-quality, overcooked grey piece of meat (ordered medium). They did have a "baked potato bar" consisting of sour cream, gravy and/or cheese (couldn't tell the vats of grey/yellowish gel apart), a shaker of bacon bits, and inexplicitly - peas. Like a big buffet pan of canned peas.

Average age of people eating there was around 80, and I watched in horror as the little old ladies just went full ham ladling an ridiculous amount of canned peas onto their baked potatoes. It felt like being in a Twilight Zone episode where aliens in disguise walked among us and they could only get nutrition from peas.

Will underwhelm as well (went for the first time last year). Just my opinion but there have been previous posts about it and this sub generally agrees with the sentiment.

Go with Texas De Brazil. I'm going to check out Fogo de Chao next month.
