Restaurant Recommendation - Spring Lake Park / Brooklyn Park, MN
I'm meeting a friend for dinner tomorrow night. I'll be running an errand in Spring Lake Park. She lives in Brooklyn Park. Anyone have a suggestion for a restaurant near those areas? Reasonably-priced and delicious are the only two requirements, although Southern Cuisine would be great! She's from Atlanta and missing "True Southern Cooking". Thanks:-)

Not sure true southern cooking can be had in this state, much less in that area. Brasa is good, but will be about 25-30 minutes each way.
Lemongrass Thai in BP is very good. Be sure to get the sausage app. if you go.
Sweet Basil is good Thai/Laotian near the border of Champlin and BP. Good papaya salad.
Girvan Grille is in BP, but I can only nominally recommend it. It's a notch above Houlihans with the same sort of fare (and prices). Their chili is good, though.

-My first thought for good, home cooking is Carol's off Central between 117th and 121st.
-Your best bet for 'southern' cuisine would be driving down Central into NE and going to Brasa. Well worth the drive, in my opinion.
-I've heard good things about Cru, which is a newer place on 103rd and Central.
Otherwise, the SLP/Brooklyn Park area is a little bit of chain hell, as you probably know.
