It's always like that. Of course the smaller, better restaurants aren't going to get as many votes as a restaurant on every corner. People vote what they know.
Don't know if there'd been a thread on this already but I just got around to viewing the results online. All I gotta say is "wow" to a lot of the winners and don't know how they won. Best Fajitas goes to Taco Cabana? Are you kidding me SA? They had Pappasitos second and they a clearly way better than Taco Cabana? , Taco Tote has some mean Fajitas and they weren't even mentioned! And Sea Island #1? Ha Ha....followed by Red Lobster and then Pappadeux 3rd? What?? Pappaduex is light years better than those two places. I don't see what this city's fascination has always been with Sea Island. Yea, it's good but not to be number 1 all the damn time. And for burgers....not even one mention for Fuddrucker's, which is clearly way better than Whataburger, Burger King.....and others than made the list. , there's other better burger places than even those. And I-HOP for best breakfast?? Come on already!

Those surveys are always watered down. Not even worth looking at...IMHO.
Whataburger is pretty good... but it's still a fast food place. It's not nearly on the level of a Chris Madrid's.
The only thing TC's make which is edible are their Cabana bowls... and only when I'm drunk at 3 AM.

Chris Madrid's is overrated.
Longhorn Cafe burgers > Chris Madrid burgers
Seeing as how you're probably a leading expert on eating I'll take your word for it![]()
but really... Chris Madrid's is my favorite burger in town.
The place that won Critics Choice for "Best Place for a Cold Beer" is pretty good...
Congrats. Glad it's doing well.![]()
In-laws took the family to Chris Madrids a couple of months back talking about how good it was. I had never been before but had always heard about it. Albeit - this is based off of only one visit - but I was not impressed at all. I had no desire to go back outside of maybe to give it another shot just to see if I missed something.
I've only been to Longhorn once also (one on NE side) but I did enjoy that much more than Chris Madrids.
I don't know how anyone could take offense at these awards. After all, UTSA was named 'best college/university.'
It is People's Choice. Stop ing.
Well, we are the only D1 U in town at the moment. Well, other than TAMSA. But, they dont have a stand alone campus or football team yet.
Trinity is actually might vote for best academics in San Antonio.![]()
I found this comment funny for some reason ...

I thought this was too funny to pass up... sums up the year long argument I'd think.
I love Longhorn Cafe but just recently went to Tycoon Flats and thought they had some incredible food. I've been to Chris Madrid's and to Sam's Burger Joint and didn't find anything appealing about their burgers.
I'm going to check out both Longhorn Cafe and Tycoon Flats on date nights with the wife while our kids our off with the grandparents for two weeks.
Longhorn Cafe rawks!!!

Is the one on Pat Booker Rd just as good as the others? That is the one we will be going to.
People in SA prefer quan y over quality.
utsa academics ftw

I've never been to that one.
I go to the one on Blanco Rd, since it's close to my house.
Longhorn is my favorite for burgers and for chips and queso.
