    Looking for a good place to take a client for lunch between the airport and Churchill HS. Doesn't have to be fancy - just local and good. In fact, if we can get out of there for under $20 a person it would actually be preferred knowing the client's preferences.

    Anybody have suggestions? Was thinking something along the lines of Longhorn Cafe or Tomatillos, but in the Airport - Churchill Corridor...

    If you're in the mood for some authentico Italiano I suggest this place called Olive Garden. If you'd like some fine dining continental you'll have to check out Applebees

    Not much in that corridor that's ” local”

    Formosa Garden (Chinese) has real nice atmosphere and is in that price range.

    It's on the west bound access road between Broadway and Nacogdoches though...

    Not bad. There's a Chester's right across the highway from there. Last time I went to Chester's it seemed to have gone down hill. Greasy soggy fries, bland burger. But that was a couple years ago. Anybody been there recently?

    forgot about Chesters.

    Still good, but they lost some of their aura after ditching the poppy seed buns.

    Where do you mean by "Airport-Churchill HS corridor"? Is that like Nakoma/West Ave/Blanco area?

    did the poppy seeds really add that much? I hear that from almost everybody. They're frickin' seeds.

    what kind of food, what time?

    If you are going early (before two) you could try Magnolia pancake Haus (best breakfast food ever), it is right next to embassy theater right off of west avenue and bitters.

    At 281 and bitters you have El Jarro de Arturo which is pretty good and has won some recognition for being a great restaurant.

    I dunno. Maybe it's a mental thing.

    All I know is that I've been maybe twice in the last couple years when I used to go twice a month.

    Yep, I'd choose El Jarro over Guajillos too. Both are very authentic, but very regional also, so it depends on which style of Mexican food you prefer.

    For a business meeting, I'd say Formosa Garden.

    Hmmm, Churchill is on Blanco @ West Ave, right? Broadway/Nacogdoches seems like in the opposite direction to me. But, if you wanna be in the Blanco/410 area, there's a Lion and Rose Pub and that pizza place, Dough, right there near the Guajillos.
