@Rebel I like the way you think! Ryan's is literally gone. The building was demolished back in the summer. In addition to the ones you mentioned, Id suggest, Back Home (country cooking), The Wicked Eye'd Woman (British Pub), and Roxie's diner for local spots. There's also the following out on 31W near the Mall: LongHorn, O'Charlies, Rafferty's, Cheddars, Red Lobster, Wing & Rings and BW3's. Enjoy!
