  • Ugh. When I first moved here in 2010 they used to have an old Expedition that neighbors would volunteer to drive around the neighborhood all weekend with a "SECURITY" sticker on it. Fucking stupid.

Panther city BBQ is better than heim. Trailer/outdoor seating

Just had Panther City and it was phenomenal.  Better than Heims and probably on par with Pecan Lodge since I haven't had Cattleack to declare it best in DFW.  Half a pound of moist and the fat was perfectly rendered.  Will order a combo moist/lean next time.  $10 for half a pound which I believe is a little cheaper than the going rate of $11 to $12. The ribs were good but the sausage (both pepper and jap cheddar) was OK since it's not similar to central Texas...more like Eckrich if that makes any sense as far as casing.  The sauce was sweeter than I would have liked.  Got to the food truck at noon and waited no more than 10 minutes.  Beautiful weather to sit outside and eat.

Anyone know a local place that will repair pressure washers? The lawn equipment places won't do it.

Went to the new cajun restaurant in the cursed corner of Montgomery Plaza.  Not bad.  Had the gumbo and the fried crawfish platter.  Only thing that wasn't good was the cole slaw.  Price points aren't bad ($4/cup of gumbo and $14 for crawfish platter).  It had a nice atmosphere.  
They only had a partial menu for the weekend.  The full menu is supposed to start today.  
 
Full menu:

Went to Mutts today. I was skeptical about the place but it was pretty damn cool. Lots of dogs having a blast, beer and other drinks, hot women everywhere, nice weather. Pretty good way to enjoy the fall weather.

Went and tried Panther City BBQ today for lunch. It was very good. Moist brisket was fantastic. Beautiful day to sit outside and eat some Q. 356d7a50f730a3e64c29e8dfcb5c44d7.jpg

Think I'm gonna try that Bourbon Street joint tomorrow night. Bowl of gumbo, half dozen raw, half dozen char grilled sounds real good right about now.

I was actually asking for a friend so I can borrow his eventually, but not til my GD pecan tree stops dropping crap. Thanks though!

#620

... and the place he found to fix the power washer was A & B Lawn and Garden up in River Oaks.  I bought a chainsaw there a few years ago, they are nice guys.

Give me a few weeks and I will bag some up for you.  My wife actually hand cracked a bunch of them last year and froze them and I don't think we have had 1/3rd of them.  It is the off year for the tree but they are still a decent size.  Last year was crazy.

Second.  Excellent customer service and repairs.

Anyone heard of this little joint? 

Quote

Hey, Bud! I keep hearing about a good little place at a motel on Northside Drive.

—Johnny, a Riverside guy

Las Pericas is in a former motel coffee shop at a Motel 6, but don’t let that fool you. The owners turn out first-rate Tex-Mex and Mexican breakfasts and lunches with two fiery table salsas (green and red)

 

#627

We've talked about that place before, I've driven by it a million times and always wanted to try it for breakfast. Parking lot is always crowded on Saturday mornings.

#629

If you like your Mexican restaurants to look like palaces, you're eating at the wrong ones. 

#632

on the border has free chips and salsa at happy hour and big beers.  at least the one time i went they did.

#633

You kids know I’m more Cityview than W. 7th, been to OtB on BI twice recently, both times pretty damn good. Sit at the bar, they have 5 or so TVs, bartender has done it before, ain’t mad at it. 

#634

what do you think about renaming the thread "Las Vegas Trail go hard or go home thread"

Whoa, is that part of the happy hour menu? 

Redefines the term. 

#638

Had a buddy’s kid that went from the 377 Mr. Jim’s to the LVT/Normandale location awhile back when the Benbrook one closed. Shockingly, he didn’t last too long at the new joint.

Anyone else hear a fireworks show around 715pm?

It was over by downtown or  the river. Wasn't at the botanic.

I finally made it over to Bourbon Street a few days late. Gumbo is alright...I like my roux darker, but I give them points for the gumbo not being spicy. Dumbass "Cajun" places in Texas usually make every gumbo or etoufee dish on the menu stupidly spicy, and actual Louisiana food isn't like that.

Chargrilled oysters were alright. Bartender was entertaining. The best thing is they actually have NFL Sunday Ticket, so we finally have a place in the area not named Boomerjacks or America Gardens where you can sit at a bar and watch a few different games at the same time. Also, there were actually other living breathing human beings in there spending money, so maybe that place will make it for a little while. Went over to Bourbon and Bones to use the restroom (the two places share the facilities) and it was pretty dead over there.

#642

That place (on Magnolia) is just dirty, and not in a hole in the wall comes with the territory type way either.

Not that I spend a ton of time in fucking Cresson, but I cannot picture that racetrack at all. 

Quote

Their proximity to the race track has resulted in a unique food/race track combo: A sandwich, side, and drink plus four laps in any of Farr's high-end cars — including a Lamborghini — for $229. That gets you a video of your drive, too. They're calling it the Lambo Combo.

 

#645

It was right behind the Texaco they used be in, but if you didn't know it was there or you didn't happen to be there when the really expensive cars went flying around the corner nearest BBQ on the Brazos' parking lot, it would be pretty easy to miss. When not in use it kind of just looked like a roadway and some forgettable buildings behind a chain link fence.

#647

I have only been to BBQ on the Brazos a hand full of times, but on a few of those occasions I did see some pretty sweet cars flying around that track. Even ate next to some guys in full on racing suits. I never spotted the Blue Glove Lefty though.

#648

Before they lengthened the track, I'm pretty sure you couldn't really see the course from 377. I used to race motorcycles on that track, but never took a car out. There is video of a Porsche RUF roll over crash, the driver was able to walk away.  

#649

This location sounds pretty terrible. 

Quote

BBQ on the Brazos reopened this week in a hilltop house-trailer “dining room” on the MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, uphill behind its old location off U.S. 377.

It’s not easy to find. First, you have to find 9012 Performance Court, between U.S. 377 and Texas 171 in Cresson.

That street isn’t marked. So take the turn to the motorsport track.

A half-mile uphill, you’ll find a barbecue truck rig, John Sanford and Kathryn Warren. It’s parked next to a trailer that has been converted to a dining room.
