I can't really speak for anyone else. My son wanted to go to Buffalo Wild Wings. There is one not 10 minutes from base. We arrived there about 5 pm and had no issues being seated. There were several other sailors there that had just graduated also. Can't go wrong with hot wings. :)

We will be up there this weekend. I am sure local restaurants are packed on Friday nights...  did you or anyone else travel outside the local surroundings for a place?  I am not referring to exceeding the allowable radius for the graduates.  Were reservations required...  recommendations?

Thanks.

Thank you,

So glad I found your website! Last time I went to a bootcamp graduation was over 30 years ago! I forgot about restrictions/ Liberty rules.

If you're looking for something a bit more upscale to take your graduate to, I took my son to Froggy's French Cafe in Highwood last year (10 miles south of RTC); not only was the food superb, but the owner went above and beyond to honor him.
