Dave:

I was going to reply to this post earlier today, but realized it was going
to take a long time to list all the restaurants of merit. Plus the fact that
I have not been dining out a lot lately, and didn't want to offer old
information.

I think Jeffro summed it up nicely.

There are lots of local asian restaurants that have very good food, and are
cheap.
There are a few good BBQ restaurants locally, including Jakes Boss BBQ in
Jamaca Plain, Bison Country Cafe in Waltham (abuts Lexington), and a few
others.
You will never go wrong at Chris Schlesingers' East Cost Grill in Cambridge.

I live in Concord, (two towns over from Lexington). I am a consultant, and
work out of my home office.

Contact me off-line if you want more information.
