I saw a thread about po folks and wanted to start this one, here are some of mine.
Ninfa's- On Nakoma, great salsas.
Fargo's Pizza- Good Pizza- various locations.
Bonanza- I loved that place.
Maverick Cafe- Good food
Just wondering if anyone has any others to add.
Hey, there's a Maverick cafe of I-37 in the country not too outside of SA. Could this be the same one but just moved out there? If so, they got some pretty good food. As for me, I miss Fazolis for the fast food italian (most will probably disagree) and Boston Meat Market(had several of those around town about a good 10 years ago or so). Hey, what about Wyatt's cafeteria? Damn, we'd always eat up at the one in Windsor Park Mall.
Godfathers pizza
Hey, Godfather's is still here where I work, but it's on Lackland AFB. That pizza is the !!! I wish we had these all around town.
LiL hips'
Really, well I dont go on Lackland so I thought they were all gone. They use to be the back in the day.
KP's the one that was located on SW Military Drive
Fratelli's, off of I-10 ... best Italian food ever.
Shanghai Cafe (Changed to Haishang Cafe because of compe or with same name in UC) off NW Military. They had the best chinese food in town, especially the Sesame Shrimp...
Bonanza
Stuart Anderson's Cattle Company (that was the best steak in the best atmosphere I've ever eaten, bar none)
Little Hips (we used to go there for 2-hr lunches when I worked downtown...then we'd have to stay late to make up the timeShy-Poke Eggs rocked)
Wyatt's Cafeteria (Windsor location...you know, I haven't been in Windsor Park Mall in...probably 5 years! is anything still there?)
Pizza Inn
Bambino Huey's
Luby's (I mean the old Luby's, the way it used to be...I used to eat there at least once a week, but when I went in and got a LuAnn platter, tea, and dessert and it came to over $10, I quit going...I can go to Golden Corral and get all of any of that I want plus bread and salad, too, and it's not even $9! As far as I'm concerned, Luby's priced themselves right out the market...which is why most are closed up and so few are left.)
Crystal Baking Company (where Ocean Star is now)
Hardee's
Shy Poke eggs lol.. OMFG Cholesterol attack at that place...
Bonanza had the best salad bar ever...
Yes, but it was soooo good. Where did they get those dill pickles? I have never tasted any anywhere else that were that good.
The Mavericks you're talking about is on HWY 181 in Floresville, it's not the same Mavericks the original poster is talking about. Either way, the Mavericks in Floresville is okay, the Mavericks in San Antonio was okay too.
I can't really think of any restaurants I really enjoyed that are no longer here. The only one that comes to mind is Old Country Buffet which is now known as Hometown Buffet. I only remember this because my grandparents lived across from it off 410 & Evers and it was their hangout.
Remember the Bean Pot?
MSG in the powdered Ranch.. but I do rember them keeping clean salad bar and good lettuce. I liked Bonanza was not bad on the cheap.
We used to go to the Hometown Buffet on Austin Highway, that was one of my Dad's favorite places. It's not there any more. -
Was that a chain? There used to be one at the Canyon Lake exit on IH-35. I always wanted to eat there because it always smelled so good when we'd stop for gas at that convenience store. Never did, though, was always in too much of hurry to get to the lake. It's closed up now.
Oh, what about Shoney's? The only one I know of in town is off 35 & Walzem, or something.
Was that a diner? It was a small place right?
Yeah, there's still one there. I never go there, but we eat at the Red Lobster next door a couple of times a month on the weekends. I used to LOVE that Shoney's breakfast buffet. I haven't been in years...last time I did that was in St. Louis about 5-6 years ago. In San Antonio, I always went to the one at Jones-Maltsberger and 410. We used to have a lot of office meetings and training classes that we held at the Drury Inn across the street.
Carl Jr.
Ferdys. Way out 281 on the hilltop...I think it's a Caseys now...We used to skip out at lunch in high school and go there...Frosty ice cold pitchers of Lone Star and frosted mugs...ahhhhh
Never got into that one, but GW Jr's.
