I second the Po'Folks. That was some good country cookin! Hey, yall remember Quick Wok and Puffin Billies Hamburgers back in the day too? Boy do I miss the Rail Rider Specials!!
Shoot! I was hopin I wasn't the only one who remembers GW Jr's!!!
Best burgers to order when you got the munchies. My best friend at the time used to order the "Bacon Avacado Chilli Cheese Burger" No lie that was a real burger they sold. I still get a kick just remembering what that thing looked like!
Good Times
We've got a couple in Austin... not bad, and healthy if you order the right stuff. But there are better local choices here that provide the same type food. (Taco Deli on Barton Skyway is a good example)
What looked promising to me but turned out to suck serious ass was Red Robin. Their architects are much more talented then their chefs err... cooks. It was like the culinary equivalent of a mediocre boy band...
There's two Red Robin's in San Antonio.
Never eaten at one though.
Speaking of chain resturants in San Antonio.
Has anyone tried BackYard Buger?
I've passed it quite a few times off of 281.
Is it good?
I wish they'd bring a Taco Cabana to LA. Nothing tastes better at 2 AM than chorizo & egg tacos (ok, one thing :P)
Save yourself the cash and time. It's bullshyt man. The menu's are f'n huge and the booths are huge. I was there with my boy and we felt like midgets and we are both 6ft tall.
Oh yea, the food is wretched I think. The fries were ridiculous and the burger was even worse. Stick to Chesters or Applebees or Chilis. Just my two cents on this topic.
What about Backyard Burgers?
I have never been there. I like this one place, off 1604 and Stone Oak, it has like an air plane theme to it. They have good hamburgers. I can not remember the name right now though. Darn.
Buck's Landing.
There ya' go. Thanks a lot. I really like that place.
Chains freaking suck.
Eat local. Much better.
Yeah so do we. The burgers there are awesome.There ya' go. Thanks a lot. I really like that place.
Backyard is pretty good. It's kinda pricey though. San Antonio, Waco, and The Woodlands are the only ones you'll find in Texas so far.
As far as fast food goes, I enjoy Whataburger, Wendy's and Taco Bell. In that order, also.
For a restaurant to go in and eat, I like Salsalitos, Panchos,Cafe Milano, and Chilis. I love Panchos off Marbach and 410. They are building a new Chilis over here by my place off Culebra and 1604 so thats good, even though there is one right down at 1604 and Bandera.
I am curious to try Fat Burger when they build here.
I liked Red Robin but it is a little pricey. Chester's has great burgers and pretty good priced as well. Fuddruckers is pretty good too, IMO.
I thought Red Robin was pretty good as well. I tried that burger with the fried egg on it out of curiosity. It was excellent. Not only was the burger good, but Mrs. and Little ASF were grossed out by it. Sweet!
Is that the Panchos all you can eat mexican buffet place? That brought back a crazy memory from high school...back in the day we could buy keg beer and ice right off the loading dock at Lone Star Brewery...We got a 16 gallon keg of Lone Star Dark (Lone Stars version of dark bock beer...it was much better than Shiner and only available in kegs) for the weekend and iced it down in the back of my friends van...We hit it early Saturday morning (before sunrise) and hooked up the ski boat and went to Comal Park at Canyon Lake (back before they had an entry fee and security patrolling...kids like us screwed it up for everyone hehehe)...we skiied and drank and smoked and partied all day with our friends dropping by and hanging out...then hooked the boat back up right before dark and came back to town...when we got to town we suddenly realized we hadn't eaten anything since the night before and were starving and decided to head to Panchos to pig out...There was one on Fredricksburg road in a little mall down the road from Crossroads (called Wonderland Mall then)...it was a really busy place for dinner...all you can eat and really cheap...anyway, we sat there for an hour stuffing ourselves and then Randy said he was feeling sick...we all looked at each other and decided to pay and get the out of there...after drinking all day on an empty stomach and then stuffing ourselves none of us were much better...Randy was turning that chalky green color by the time we hit the front door...There were poeple everywhere parking their cars and walking to the door...For a restaurant to go in and eat, I like Salsalitos, Panchos,Cafe Milano, and Chilis. I love Panchos off Marbach and 410. They are building a new Chilis over here by my place off Culebra and 1604 so thats good, even though there is one right down at 1604 and Bandera.
and then it happened...
Randy takes about 4 steps out the door and barely made it to the curb before he started blowing beets bigtime...the sight and smell of huge volumes of dark beer and masticated mexican food triggered an inevitable chain reaction...Chris was next...pretty soon all four of us were hanging over the curb projectile vomiting...
LMAO...I vividly remember looking up and seeing all these groups of people walking to the door stop, take one look, whisper to each other, and then turn around and go get back in their cars and leave...I guess that wasn't a very good advertisement for the restaurant, huh?...
I always forget about Cafe Milano! That place is pretty good!
I wondered why that Pancho's closed! Now I know!
Dude, I'm amazed people go to a mexican buffet.
Most of the time, a mexican place will give you so much food you don't know what to do with it all. What the is the point of a buffet?
Panchos = the nastiest thing ever.
there's only one reason to goto panchos....it's your sopapilla headquarters!
Raise the flag!
Another place for great burgers and stuff is a restaurant called Lone Star Ice House (I think that's what it's called) which is out in Leon Springs kinda by the Las Palapas. Those hamburgers are pretty tasty and they also have good onion rings and fries too.
Man, I love Panchos. I think its awesome. I love everything there.
