August 16, 20223 yr If y'all ever make it up to Boerne, Peggy's is legit. It's in the Bohanan's family, but more laid back. Shrimp and grits are spectacular. And I don't know too many places that make chess pie. Edited August 16, 20223 yr by miguelito typoe
August 16, 20223 yr does anyone remember the name of the high end place at the emily morgan? this would have been in the mid-2000's.

August 18, 20223 yr https://ro-hoporkandbread.com/ awesome change of pace from the usual Tex Mex that I clog my arteries with.

I guess if someone offers to dump that kind of cash into your operation and move it out to BFE, you can't say no. But holy shit that's stepping up in class in a huge way.

Heavy equipment dealers, diesel repair shops, mountain chains of crushed concrete with rebar tentacles and a Walmart. I’m relocating there as soon as I can.

The southeast side is pretty in a weird way. Sure it’s kind of hood but that Pecan Valley/ Highlands HS area is surprisingly hilly with some older big lot neighborhoods and tall trees to be found.

Are you the president of the Southeast San Antonio Chamber of Commerce? I'm mostly talking about the parts directly adjacent to 410 between IH-10 and IH-37. It is not good excepting 2M and Pollo Asados los Nortenos on Rigsby.

I do think it’s pretty, but I’m not from a very scenic place either. I’m also taking more towards Southside lions park and pecan valley, there are some surprisingly nice older houses around there. Combine the hilly landscape, nearby amenities like Southcross & brooks city base, that huge park, the affordable homes, and the fact that it’s not (that) dangerous and it’s without question the most underrated part of the city.

August 20, 20223 yr Got the most insane food poisoning I’ve ever had at Roho a few years ago. Torta was delicious though. Almost worth it.

The duck is fantastic. I hear their steaks are badass too. Honestly everything I’ve had there has been amazing. I second the cheese raclette appetizer. It's great. One thing though.... they will change up the cheese that they use in the dish based one what is available. It's usually pretty mild but can be a great deal stronger if you're dining with someone who doesn't like strong cheeses. I haven't had anything there that I didn't like (outside of one of the salads), but I usually order one of the specials for an entree. The coffee/chocolate/ sea salt caramel pot de creme dessert thing is pretty great.
August 26, 20223 yr Nice knowing y’all. Thanks, Cajun. I would have lost a bet that this was from Henry’s

August 27, 20223 yr Appreciate the recs fellas. Brasserie did not disappoint. We did the raclette, some ravioli thing, lamb, and duck.
August 28, 20223 yr someone give me a good lunch spot for Monday. I'll be 16/1604 but ok with heading a little into town thanks
August 28, 20223 yr If “16/1604” means what I think it does, just know that everyone in town calls it Bandera Rd.
August 28, 20223 yr El Chaparral in Helotes Sea Island I've heard Jalapeno's is good Aguascalientes at 1604/Babcock I had a friend in high school who worked at the Arby's in Leon Valley. ... The stories he told me .... Don't go there.
August 29, 20223 yr Jalapeños is terrible. El Chaparral and order the Valerie's special beef. Thank me later.

August 31, 20223 yr On a show night; on a Friday. El Chap might have a serious wait for a table. That place will be packed. SO plan accordingly
