Restaurants In San Antonio that you miss

[sa_butta]

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...

Actually the Shanghai in UC is pretty good I use to go there for lunch sometimes with my mom.

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 time Shy-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

Where was Stuart Andersons at? Just wondering.

I thought Wyatt's at Windsor was better than Luby's, you remember the El Chico's at Windsor that was right across from Wyatt's? I think Windsor was closed awhile back.

[Vashner]

Oh, what about Shoney's? The only one I know of in town is off 35 & Walzem, or something.

Barf out...


They got sued over bad food a couple times...

[Old School Chic]

Was that a diner? It was a small place right?

It was a small little Cafe back in the 80's. It then got remodeled and became Neptune's Seafood.

[Willinsa]

Never got into that one, but GW Jr's.

GW's was awesome, can not beat the frankfooter.

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. -

It's not? I live right by there and could have sworn it was still there the last time I drove by...my kids love that place.

Guacamole burgers!

Ok I think I know where that is, you remember the Fargo's Pizza across from South Park mall?

[MoSpur]

There is a Carl Jr off of I-35 South towards Laredo exit off of Fischer Rd. Its connected to the Love's truck stop.

That's where Earl Abel's is moving too.

What about Jailhouse?

It was on NW 410 somewhere...past Military...Cherry Ridge or somewhere over there close to that Target store. The building stood there for years after the restaurant closed. That was SUCH a cool place. Dance floor and sometimes live music. Tons of atmosphere...each table was a private dining area. Great date place. Wonderful food.

I liked that Wyatt's better than Luby's, too. I just always went to the Luby's at Rolling Oaks after they bought out Wyatt's because it was more convenient, and it was one of the better Luby's, besides my favorite one in New Braunfels. I'm sorry to hear that El Chico's closed. That was a good place. Remember Chelsea Street Pub? That was a cool place to go for a drink, too.

[pache100]

Yes. Neither will ever be the same.

(Incidentally, *I* remember when that was a Waitz Model Market grocery store, . Dang, I'm old!)

Chelsa's had the piled up nachos and great drinks, but yeah the mall is closed. I remember before the crime got bad there it was a cool mall to go too.

Just yesterday my brother and I were talking about how we used to go to GW's for their delicious burgers & frankfooters. Yummy!

There was one on N. New Braunfels... it turned into a Bookstop ... now it's some art place. I used to go their all of the time with my mom.

They also had that piggy boat, i think it was little franks with fries. Great stuff, don't know why the church's people did not keep them open.

They had the best strawberry margaritas. That was our favorite late-night place to go in college.

Remember when Taco Cabana's used to be Tacasita's

I'm getting old

[CosmicCowboy]

What about Jailhouse?

They got a divorce...he got the original location (expanded and went broke) and Lulu opened a new one...it's on Main at 35 downtown (across from Lubys) It's called Lulu's jailhouse cafe...same menu...

That's the only Waitz' I ever actually went into, too. A friend of my Mom's used to work there, for years and years. Anytime we were in the area, we used to go in there. We used to make special trips down there to that strip mall to Jam and Jelly General Store from time to time. They had the best leather and beads selection (for hippie jewelry ), incense and stuff for candle-making...all kinds of cool stuff. That's another place I miss. We'd go there all the time at lunch and after work when I worked at Ft. Sam.

Yes, they did. I LOVED Alfonso's. The only place in town that could beat their margaritas was Karam's Kantina downtown in El Mercado. Damn, those things were good, and so were their daiquiris.
