Best place to eat before Game One?

[Mark in Austin]

Just got a pair of tickets to tomorrow night's game, so a buddy of mine and I are going to drive down to SA tomorrow afternoon. Anyone have a good suggestion for a pre-game meal? It's gotta be local - I'm leaning towards badass burgers, TexMex, or chicken fried steak/soulfood.

The first two places I can think of are Chris Madrid's and Tomatillos.

Anybody have other recommendations?

whataburger is a great place to eat before a game if you don't want to spend money buying food inside that is.

[Mark in Austin]

I can go to Whataburger any time I want here in Austin.

Special Event = Special Meal.

How early you going to be in town? Chris Madrid's if you are feeling like a burger. But they'll be packed so watch out for that.

There is nothing near the Stadium. Downtown would be closest, but the parking and what not takes time. Just walk the riverwalk and go into the place that looks the most appealing to you.

there's a subway near the stadium its inside a gas station.

Burgers: Chris Madrid's by a mile. Their cheddar cheezy is easily the best burger I've had in my life.

Mexican: Not sure there. My favorite place from back in the day when I lived in SA is closed after the owner died.

CFS: Tip Top on Fredricksburg near West Ave. is amazing. Way better than Goodtime Charlie's IMO.

For some reason I love Longhorn Cafe burgers. Those things are good. There is one on the Southeast side of town and the arena is on the East side.

So where did Mark in Austin end up eating?

let me know when you plan on going, I have never been there either, maybe we can go on a date?

[Melmart1]

Tip Top is great, but you gotta get there right when they open, the lunch and dinner rush is insane and its a tiny place. But well worth any wait, imho.
