Im looking for a good place to take my girlfriend who will be visiting me during my internship. Whats the best places? Also, whats the ebst steakhouse?

Thanks for any help

garlic press is good.

I second Garlic Press. Also, Manny's Italian Village on Wadley is very good. As far as steak houses, there really are not any good non-chain steak houses in Midland. There are a few in Odessa that are pretty good. Barn Door in Odessa has been good the few times I have been there. I can give you some more recommendations if you have specific types of food you are looking for.

best steakhouse would be Wall St. Bar & Grill. It's pretty good.

Jumburrito!

Abuelo's is really nice inside and has good Mexican food in Midland.

It really depends on what you are looking for.

If you want Italian, then I would say 1) Venezia's 2) Italian Village or 3) The Garlic Press (in that order).

NOTE: That is unless you can catch a wine dinner that the Garlic Press holds in conjunction with Pinkie's. I haven't attended one since the Wine Rack quit sponsoring the dinners, but they were fantastic then. The only problem is that they do them on a Monday.

If you want Chinese, then I would say your only choice is Kuo's. My wife and I enjoy their food.

If you are looking for a steak, then Wall Street is really the only option. As was also mentioned, the Barn Door is good if you want to drive to Odessa.

If you want Mexican food, then start with Gerardo's and keep going from there. There are several up and down Big Spring, and they are all pretty good. Abuelo's is also good as another poster mentioned above.

Miscellaneous: I haven't tried Osaka but I hear they are good as well. Also Clear Springs is good if you want onion rings and beer.

Good luck and I hope she enjoys Midland.

I like Clear Springs for burgers, catfish and beer. Abuelo's for semi-upscale Mexican (very nice dining room). The others mentioned are good, but service has deteriorated at Wall Street and Garlic Press, or I,ve caught them on bad days lately. I've never had a bad meal or bad service at Barn Door in Odessa -- my choice for a steak.

In general restaurant service sucks in Midland lately with the most recent oil boom ... Long waits for tables any Friday or Saturday night, neglectful service, places are short-staffed and always breaking in new wait staff, etc.

Wow thanks for all the suggestions! We will be trying out several of these resturants this summer.

Wall Street has one of the best chicken fried steaks ive ever had. And Ive had a lot!

Onion Rings at clear springs are awesome.

Mozzarella Sticks at Burgers Fries and Cherry pies are superb.

I'm partial to Cancun Bar & Grill.
