October 8, 20196 yr I could be late to the party, but I saw some site prep going on at a lot south of Manchaca/Slaughter. Next to Moontower. I looked it up, and found out a new Top Notch Hamburgers is going to be built in that area. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&ved=2ahUKEwj-47jVv4vlAhXBMd8KHS3fA9sQFjAFegQIABAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fabc.austintexas.gov%2Fattachment%2FattachmentDownload.jsp%3Fp%3DrhL9yeJHMmUCynYV0gpaHYQlUeakbjOS5oWueW5EJIq7inE%2BsPiJJR3CO38Fn9WPo5kPrLtpNNSmiU5PgPTHMTEfSPUT39thK3MU%2BoI%2FTytf93tYO1ZUwvJ9va5MLCeq&usg=AOvVaw3gi9J-ZHPGKr-1498cxhwj https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/permit/public-search-other?p_p_id=SmartPortletJSR286_WAR_smartlets_INSTANCE_chpyJJVwH9kC&p_p_lifecycle=1&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=column-1&p_p_col_count=1#port_public-search-other-database This couldn't have happened during my time growing up in that area??

October 8, 20196 yr I'm sorry, we were looking for "I put the top notch in South Austin's mom's bedpost"
October 8, 20196 yr "South Austin's mom is a whore" jokes aside, this is welcome news, as we really needed a fried chicken option south of the river not named "lucy's".

Bill Miller has great fried chicken. BBQ not so much but the chicken is excellent. Edited October 9, 20196 yr by Felix grammar

October 9, 20196 yr I saw somewhere that they are threatening to shut the original one down because of the Burnet Rd construction and they will lose an entrance. Not sure if that’s still a thing or not. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kxan.com/news/proposed-burnet-rd-improvements-worry-businesses-like-iconic-top-notch-hamburgers/amp/

October 10, 20196 yr I'm sick of this shit. South Austin likes to take credit for Pinthouse Pizza, too, but real ass ninjas know Burnet Rd is where champions are made.

October 10, 20196 yr That's where we go now. A little variety will be nice.Bush’s on Brodie still there? There’s also that Randall’s if they still do the fried chicken in the deli. It was always solid.

Austin is going to imminent domain their entire parking lot so they can extend Rundberg. That really sucks because it has become the Mecca of 42 in Texas. Moreso than even the Dixie Chicken.

That would suck. I assume I was a top 10 customer back 1999-2001. Spent most every Friday night closing the place down, then at least one other night there. I didn't realize it became a 42 hotbed. Too bad it wasn't that way 20 years ago. Or maybe it's a good thing because I might have spent every night there wrecking shop.
October 11, 20196 yr Will they melt the cheese on the patty while still on the grill? Always got the stink-eye from the grandmother behind the counter when I’d ask for that.
October 11, 20196 yr There's a lot going in at the Slaughter Manchaca area. The original Rainey St lady has bought some property down here. Lustre Pearl is going in next to Moontower. South Austin Beer Garden has been a solid spot with a good food trailer on site.

October 11, 20196 yr Am envious. Up here on 620 by Brushy Creek we’re getting.a yankee Whataburger and a Wendy’s.
