Good place to eat in SA?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Tip Top is better for Chicken Fried Steak than Lulu's at the very least.

Tried it once. The food tasted like old grease, the place reeked of old grease, the fans looked like they were covered in gray fur, the furniture is falling apart, and the employees don't care to be bothered. But it was definitely cheap

Lulu's is absolutely disgusting. The original Jailhouse Cafe was reasonably good, but after the expansion, divorce, fight over names, locations, splitup, etc. Lulu's is ing TERRIBLE. The ONLY redeeming feature is that 25,000 calorie 5# cinnamon roll (when they remember to bake it till it is done)

You guys are saying this like it's a bad thing.

While your description are quite accurate the place also has soul, it's unique and has local flare (not to mention dirty cutlery). In short it's a special place - just as special as the Chief of Police special Chicken fried steak, a staple of local gourmet cuisine (that can also be used to test the load carrying capacity of semi trailers). I don't see you two mentioning this!

So there.

In San Antonio I used to stay at this lovely B&B off New Guilbeau road up by the 1604. The atmosphere was homey, the furnishing spotless and the food spectacular. Best of all were the Buffalo Wings soirées when we had buckets of different flavored chicken wings while watching Spurs away games on the large screen TV.

Speaking of Spurs away games they would sometimes have guest chefs come by if the game was over the weekend and cook food for us (mmmm Fried stuffed Jalapenos). Beer was always free and I believe they were the only place in SA with authentic Slovenian pear brandy.

One of the tenant actually cried for days after I left - now that's hospitality!

And you wouldn't believe how cheap this place was.

Ah good times...

If you're ever back in SA and have an irresistable hankering for that pear brandy, I still have the ones you gave me. After what I saw it do to mouse, I opted to leave it in the really pretty bottles as decor on my shelf. I was scurred.

I'll gladly leave those to you but would gladly pay for some more stuffed jalapenos

And frankly I'll always like Lulu's although it has more to do with the company I went there with than the restaurant itself.

Ugh, I LOVED the old Jailhouse Cafe. When they moved the awesome hole in the wall to that craptastic hole in the wall they're at now, it was never the same. Though, I never did hear how that all came to be...
