Foodie, townie--you guys hit the jackpot!!!
No, Lowell does not have a dearth of fine dining, but there are some good places:
1. McVey's--about a mile west of the Inferno on SR 2/Commercial Avenue. The only fine dining spot in our little burg. Pricey, but well worth it.
2. Mi Ranchito--two miles west of the Inferno on the main drag. Very authentic, the owners are from Mexico. Great food and better maragaritas.
3. George's--across the street from the high school. Will give Denny's (of which there's one at I-65 & SR 2) that is, well, Denny's...
$. Bearski's--Awesome local sports bar with decent food and drinks.
5. Dicky's Dogs--a Portillo's wannabe, but not bad.
6. Aurelio's Pizza--real good sit down pizza place.
7. Pizza Hut--not any better, but cheaper
8. Loven Oven--Best pizza in town
9. Athens Grill--great take out Greek and American food.
10. No. ! Chinese--more like only one, but still pretty good take-out
11. Chicquito Mexico--not bad, but not as Charming as Mi Ranchito.
12. There's also a Shoop's Hamburgers in town, but they have odd hours. Normal fast food, too.
