Sunday Night (Dec 26th), North Cinci or near KI

Hey gang.
 
Mrs. Sippi and I are making the Christmas pilgrimage to the Deep South again and will be staying in Mason on Sunday night. We're stopping off at the outlet mall in Monroe and once we're finished shopping we'll need some food.
 
We're tried Gold Star Chili. It was good.
We were all geared up to try Blue Ash Chili but they're closed on Sundays.
I've come up with Aponte's, Cheezburger Cafe and Taz so far as good possibilities. Taz is not as attractive since we've got an excellent Lebanese place not far from home. Can anyone comment on the above or offer some other suggestions.
 
I've discounted a lot of chains like Jets and Fox and Hound (or whatever it's called).
 
We're well stocked with ethnic food here in TO so I'm trying to stay closer to the "American" type thing.
 
Thanks again

I am (as my my entire family) quite found of the american-italian chain called Bravo, been there many times, never had anything less than a good meal
 
thats the place we go when we are in that area. Aside from that:
 
Very near Cheeseburger Cafe is hot Doggin'it, which offers a serviceable italian beef and chicago style hot dog, amongst other interesting items
 
I've heard a lot of good about the dim sum at Dao Modern Asian
 
The newly opened Rascals Deli in Blue Ash is getting some comparisons to the big NYC delis
 
also hearing a lot of good about http://www.sichuanbistro.com/about.php
