    In the saddle since the 1950s, this casual spot with an atrium patio and full bar east of town is a fave with RVers. Get yer prime rib, lobster and shrimp Louie here, folks.

    Masada Cafe

    Yes, it's a church cafeteria. No, you don't need to be a member of the congregation to eat there. Just come on in and belly up to the cafeteria-style line, where you pick your meat (country fried steak, pork chop, oxtails, fried chicken) and your sides (stuffing, red rice, mac-n-cheese). Saturday is rib day.

    Joe's on the Green

    Join the locals at this open-air eatery at Kiahuna Golf Club for the early-bird special (around US$5, served until 09:00, Monday to Saturday). For a casual clubhouse setting, the food is quite gourmet, from shrimp cakes with chipotle aioli to 'ahi tempura rolls, to smoked pork ribs falling off the bone.

    Bumper's Beef House

    Northeast of the center, Bumper's remains a local institution. Prime rib in several sizes is the specialty, aged 21 days by the restaurant. Some steaks come with a pat of seasoned butter on top, just in case you're worried about your calories. But that shouldn't stop you from loading up at the throwback salad bar.

    Red Hot & Blue

    The logo featuring pigs in sunglasses jamming on guitars says it all: Memphis-style barbecue. And this Memphis-born author says the place is almost worthy of the title. The traditional spicy dry ribs are undeniably the best, but you can also get them smothered in sauce. In any case, they are smoked over hickory wood for hours and hours, and served with beans, coleslaw or other classic Southern side dishes.

    County Line Bar-B-Que

    County Line Bar-B-Que is the original BBQ joint, located in a wood-shack roadhouse off Hwy 360. It serves a helluva hunka beef - the barbecued 12oz rib-eye steak beats all.
