July 16, 20196 yr It's been on the top of my BBQ bucket list since the early days of shaggy and i finally went today. We stopped in there for lunch on our way to Port Aransas. I had brisket and pork spare ribs. brisket: 3/5 the good parts were good, and nice, and fatty, and tasted delicious, but there was plenty that was much less tender amd much more leathery. it was no better than Louis Mueller, and certainly nowhere close to Franklin. I would be impressed if i were a yankee, but i was honestly a bit let down. pork spare rib: 2/5 it was very very fatty, and just not as flavorful as ribs i've had at other joints. would not order again. also, this was a coincidence- maybe five minutes before we left the place a couple came and sat in the booth behind our table. fast forward 2-3 hours (stupid construction all over 183/SE Texas), and ad we're heading into Virginia's in Port A i see the same couple waiting to be sat. small world.
July 16, 20196 yr Popular Post Ate at Matt’s El Rancho today for the first time. It's been on the top of my Tex-Mex food bucket list since the early days of shaggy and i finally went today. We stopped in there for lunch on our way to the Horseshoe Lounge . I had the bob Armstrong and No. 1 dinner bob armstrong: 3/5 the guac really added something to the queso. Overall, it was rich and creamy but still had good spice. It has some really good parts to it, but I got tired of it half way through. It was too thick after a while and my chips would break. it was no better than Torchys, and certainly nowhere close to Maudie’s. I would be impressed if i were a yankee, but i was honestly a bit let down. No. 1 Dinner: 2/5 it was a very very greasy enchilada, and the taco was drier than tacos i've had at other joints. would not order again. also, this was a coincidence- but right after I sat down, Matthew Mcconaughey sat down three tables away from us. I had just recently scene Failure to Launch, so it was far out seeing him in person. maybe five minutes before we left the place, I went to take a piss and he was also taking a piss. He said alright alright as we made eye contact at the urinals. He was super cool.
July 16, 20196 yr Dude how is Blacks at the top of your BBQ bucket list. It's like one of the easiest places to eat at. Also, yeah it's perfectly fine and overpriced as I'm sure you found out.

Also, yeah it's perfectly fine and overpriced as I'm sure you found out. it's been at the top because of how much shaggy raved about it back in 2008 and 2009. and for whatever reason i haven't been out this way *and* able to stop for BBQ since then.

I can’t think of any worse.
July 16, 20196 yr He just got to Port A and went to Virginia’s. Should we really trust his food opinion? @Goo Punch if you need some recs let me know. Best restaurant in town is Liberty Hall. Venetian Hot Plate and Lisabella’s are also very good. For lunch hit Shell’s or Irie’s or Harbor Lights at the Back Porch. The new place on Beach street called Lelo’s has a damn good burger.

July 16, 20196 yr Ate at McDonald's today for the 666th time. It tasted good. Fries has superb texture. 5/7
July 16, 20196 yr Ate at Whataburger for the 1000th time the other day. Happy to report the new Chicago Boses have not messed with the menu yet. No Chicago style pizza or hot dogs on the menu. Burger with toasted bun and grilled onions was an 8 and the fries were fresh out of the frier. Edited July 16, 20196 yr by Nueces River Rat

If I ate at Whataburger at least once a week since the day I was born, that would make it around 2400 visits. So I might be undercounting. I mean in high school and college I ate at least four or five times a week at Whataburger if you include breakfast at 2 am.

July 16, 20196 yr Popular Post The most believable part of that story was that you ate BBQ and then went to another restaurant to eat again 2-3 hours later.
July 16, 20196 yr How the fuck is this a stand-alone thread? In 2019? Is this real life?Because Derka likes the texags format of 'any thought deserves it's own thread instead of replying to another one in fear it might get read less'

July 16, 20196 yr It's been on the top of my Italian bucket list since the early days of shaggy and I finally went to Olive Garden today. I had the bottomless salad and breadsticks and chicken parmesan for my entrée. salad: 3/5 The dressing was fantastic, just like from the Old World. The iceberg lettuce was a bit soggy, but the extra pepperoncini made up for it. Oddly, for a place like Olive Garden, there were only two olives in the salad. chicken parm: 5/5 It was so outstanding that I made the joke about feeling like I was in Rome. The chicken was extra tough and chewy, just like my Mamma Mia would make, and the marinara sauce tasted so fresh I could've sworn they took the lid of the jar right before putting it over my plate. Also, this was a coincidence- maybe five minutes before we left the place Vernon Broughton and his family came and sat in the booth behind our table. They had their computer out and it looked like they were editing some sort of video. Edited July 16, 20196 yr by South Austin can't spell marinara sawce
