The Thanksgiving Holiday Was Productive And Entertaining! Mixing Home Shopping & Holiday Dining!

We had a very busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend showing houses near Lake Lanier. Most of our showing time was spent in Buford, Sugar Hill, and Flowery Branch. We saw a lot of houses over the holiday weekend. Plenty of nice homes in the $200,000 price range with full basements and garages and 4-5 bedrooms.

With all the home shopping, it made for some tired evenings. What could be better than a trip to Rico's World Kitchen in downtown Buford for a nice evening meal and to enjoy the onset of the holidays. True to form, Rico's has already been decked out for the holidays. There was the usual beautiful Christmas tree in the lobby, the dancing Santa Claus on the dining floor, Yoda dressed in his St. Nick get-up, and an upside down Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling! I know, it all sounds a little strange. But it was actually quite festive and will put you in the holiday spirit! For that matter, the food at Rico's World Kitchen will put you in the spirit as well! Here are some of the pics from our evening out!

Lake Lanier Weekend Recap! Showing Lake Lanier Homes By Day, Lake Lanier Dining At Night!

It's been another great weekend here at Lake Lanier!  Friday kicked off the weekend with a visit to one of our local faves.  You can guess it!  Yes, it was Rico's World Kitchen!  As always, Rico's served up a fabulous dining experience.  This place just continues to pack them in.  Friday evening was no different, with patrons waiting in the lobby/bar area, dining on the patio and inside.  My wife and I indulged in the special appetizer cheese dip with seafood filling.  Think crawfish, crab, lobster all in a fantastic warm cheese dip with chips!  Yea, it was delicious.  For entrees, we opted for the Grilled Ahi Tuna and Fried Shrimp over Pina Colada Slaw with a side of Black Rice.  Absolutely phenomenal!  And of course, a bit of the Silver Peak Chardonnay to bring it all together.  I have said it before, and will say it again!  You must try Rico's World Kitchen!

Rico's World Kitchen located at 306 West Main Street in Buford, Georgia.
















The weekend actually started on Friday with some fantastic Lake Lanier homes for sale in the $2M to $3M price range.  We showed a number of homes in this group.  What's not to like when you're waterfront on Lake Lanier with all of the goodies.  These homes represented all of the benefits and comfort one could imagine in Lake Lanier living.  Fantastic water frontage, gorgeous lake views, architecturally designed and crafted custom homes.  Here's a list of the ones we saw.

Birthday Dinner Celebration At Rico's World Kitchen In Buford Near Lake Lanier

Alright!  Enough already!  You guessed it, we were back at Rico's tonight for a celebration of my wife's birthday.  We've been and blogged about Rico's many times, and tonight will be no different.  Lively atmosphere, excellent drinks before dinner, and a meal that was simply incredible!  I feasted on a Cajun entree of fried fish filets on top of a killer chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya!  Authentic?  You bet!  This one would compete with the best of my home state, Louisiana!  My wife enjoyed the mussels and shrimp in a spicy creme sauce.  Our favorite Lumpias for a starter!  And for dessert?  An incredible pecan pie with a Wild Turkey Bourbon soaking and a little vanilla ice cream!  Needless to say, my descriptions of the wonderful meal do not do it justice.  Try this place for yourself, and you be the judge!  It is certainly one of our lake Lanier area faves!

We enjoyed a tremendous lunch at Skogie's at Gainesville Marina.  Blackened Grouper soft tacos with a few hush puppies on the side!  But even that couldn't keep us from hitting Rico's World Kitchen in Buford for dinner.  Another fantastic dinner in old town Buford.  Fantastic Fried Green Tomato Salad and a few Crab Cakes!  Rico's rocks!

Lake Lanier Area Dining In Buford At Rico's World Kitchen!

The rains didn't stop us from enjoying a fantastic evening last night in Historic Downtown Buford near Lake Lanier.  We ventured across Buford Dam into Gwinnett County and headed to Rico's World Kitchen for dinner!  Well, the rave reviews were true, as Rico's World Kitchen did not disappoint.  While Historic Downtown Buford did not seem overly crowded, Rico's was packed.  Many of the diners were enjoying meals on the outdoor patio, until the rains came and everyone had to move inside.  This restaurant is really unique!  Think hot new dining spot in a restored old-time gas station or corner store!  If you've ever dined at Pure Taqueria in Alpharetta, the concept is the same.

The menu at Rico's is diverse and the beer and wine selection is as well.  Both are top notch!  We enjoyed samplings of steak, shrimp, crab cakes, and fried green tomato salad.  Of course, I can't forget the coconut cake for dessert!  In keeping with the theme, the beers and wine are "worldly" as well.  Really nice offerings from Europe, Asia, South America and of course the U.S.  Rico's is high-end food in an eclectic, casual atmosphere at a very reasonable price.  They post their dinner specials on their Facebook Page.  A great idea that is clearly approved of by their Facebook followers!  I mention this because their website menu appears to show mainly lunch fare.  We'll be returning to Rico's soon, and we'll get photos before the rains come.  But for now, be sure to visit Rico's World Kitchen in Historic Downtown Buford for an excellent evening dinner!
