main city near me is a capitalist hellscape of chains.
but in my little region of the outskirts, most restaurants are local. personal favourites:
--> arabic bakery (meat/cheese/spinach pies)
--> eggroll place (they do other takeout but they are named after eggrolls and are better than anywhere else i s2g)
--> a bunch of pho houses, some of them serve ox and other more 'exotic' types/cuts of meat
--> a burrito place that does a student discount of two tacos and a drink for like 4$ every day if you bring your school id, very fresh, no taco bell vibes
--> a&w (honorary chain mention, by far freshest burgers and their breakfast is like 8$ for two eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, half a tomato, etc. it feels local compared to mcd's)
most of them are open for pickup at the very least, the eggroll place and arab bakery don't even have a dine-in area so nothing much changed for them.
serve good food at a good price here and you'll have business.
i dont eat out often because i'm too lazy to walk down and ubereats doesnt even work on my phone so i cant order for pickup/delivery. but i'll be almost always more likely to stop at these places than the local mcd's or wendy's or whatever.
