Best Casual Restaurant: Cheddars

Worst: TGI Fridays

Cheddar's should be renamed Salty's. No wonder Mexicans love that place. Best, it isn't.

Best Breakfast Tacos: Ruthies (San Antonio)
Worst Breakfast Tacos: Everywhere Else (San Antonio)

Ruthies is ok, but it looks dirty.

Eddies Taco House (the new one on Wetmore/Thousand oaks) gets the win, imo.

Two huge potato egg tacos for $1 m-f in the mornings on fresh home made tortillas

Best Casual Restaurant: Cheddars

Worst: TGI Fridays

Don't care for Cheddars, but I've only been once. I'd put BJ's and even Ruby Tuesday's above it. The place I like a lot right now is the 54th Street Grill; good food, good service, nice atmosphere, and the best Long Island Iced Teas in the world.

Nothing is worse than Chili's.

Best steakhouse: Salt Grass

Worst: The Keg (in Dallas)

Love The Salt Grass, hate The Longhorn

Best Casual Mexican: Pericos

Worst: On the Border

Mexican food in SA has always been a sore spot for me, can't say there's anywhere I love. If I have to eat Mexican out (which I rarely do), it's Mi Tierra for the atmosphere, or Aldacos for the patio and drinks. The worst is pretty much any other Mexican food joint I've tried here.

Best Seafood: Fish City Grill

Worst: Landry's

I agree with Fish City Grill. I'll also go to some of the Chinese buffets for crab legs only. I don't eat much seafood so I can't say what's the worst.

[Blake]

I'm just picking what I like from places I've eaten at.

Feel free to post any restaurant anywhere in the world

[cantthinkofanything]

There's a good restaurant in Port Aransas called Venetian Hot Plate. We'd passed by it for several years and never thought to try it out. We finally did and now make sure we eat there whenever we get down there.

[Blake]

Don't care for Cheddars, but I've only been once.

I've been mostly to the one at i10/lolutsa parkway, once in Corpus.

They give large servings, low prices, and above average quality (they claim much of the stuff is made there from scratch).

My only beef is that the service is hit or miss. We waited over an hour for our food at the one in Corpus (manager did comp dessert though)

Everything is way too salty. Usually happens with packaged processed foods
