Some of the best grub comes from these spots, which one do you like?

Big Bob you should like this one if you have not been there already.

Taqueria Cancun - North Gessner in Houston.

Oh hell yeah!

Stub, I can't tell you how happy this makes me. They have it all! here's one of the originals in El Reno Ok.

Herberts Taco Hut

Home of one of the best black velvet paintings ever - the Cosmic Weeping Jesus.

What a great job to have "Texas Country Reporter" going to all of these neat little places and chowing down big time!

The day tripper is pretty good too.

So is the Texas Bucket List.

Lonesome Spur in Justin is pretty good

I like to watch all 3 shows. Anybody remember The Eyes of Texas show?

El Burrito de Tapatio - on West Ave. in San Antonio. I'm overdue for a visit. Exceptionally clean, 'cept for the trash cans in every stall in the men's restroom, but, that's how jew know jur in an authentic place!

Juanitos in fort worth. So good.

X2 for Juanitos

Paco Dominguez in Wills Point. Excellent MexTex, friendly family ran business, healthy portions, cash only.

Bebos between Aubrey and Pilot Point on 377 is good.

Believe Jerry Jeff Walker mentioned the Green Frog in one of his songs.

Not sure this is a hole in the wall, but a great small town cafe. Cattlemans Cafe in Blue Grove dayum good grub & deserts.

This little cafe in Whitney is very good

P2, Wichita Falls.

The Shed in Edom, TX

Choctaw-owned.

Well, I don't own it but some other Choctaws do.

Double H in Santa Anna. It's on the south side of Hwy 84/67 on the far east side of town. Good down home cookin'.

Fidelo's Mexican food on Nacogdoches Rd in SA.
Without a doubt the best, authentic mexican food I've had in a restaurant.

Ken's Chicken and Fish in Breckenridge.

https://www.fortworthwestsidecafe.com/

not much to look at, but the food rocks!

Nope!

Cup's Burgers in Waco. Burgers are so juicy you need elbow coasters.

Hill Barbecue in Lubbock near Lubbock Cooper school. While he has a big pit smoker all he serves out of his roach coach are hamburgers and hot dogs and excellent french fries. I guess he custom smokes for others or has stands for his barbecue. Hamburger and dogs might be the best in Lubbock, just my opinion.

Swinging Door. Pecan Plantation.

ate there today. yes, it is hole in the wall or floor, it is good but the town is blue ridge.

You are correct it is Blue Ridge, I guess I had Blooming Grove kind of on my mind

Pies look amazing

Hickman restaurant aspermont tx
Breakfast burrito best around

bigbob, we had lunch there today, had a patty melt with onion rings. Finished it off with a peach cobbler with ice cream on top. It's hard to beat, 5 minutes from the house.

I'm right down the road. Place is always packed.

Herds-Jacksboro
Pam's-Breckenridge
Del Norte-Godley
Dairy Mart-Mineral Wells
Neris-Graham
Jake & Dorothy's-Stephenville
Rancho Pizzeria-Coleman

These are some of my favorites in no particular order.

The Hole In The Wall, on Harry Hines just South of Forest. Not there any more but was a great burger.

Burgerland in Paris Tx, greasy burgers but damn are they good!!

Sure was.

Hole in the Wall was a good one. Had completely forgot about that one. Used to go there mid/late 70's.

NB - Freiheit Country Store
Marion - GG's Cafe
Utopia - Lost Maples Cafe
Waring - Popo Family Restaurant

Popo’s is one fancy hole in the wall!

Lost Maples makes some solid food.

They like to flame kiss the meat a bit, this was June when we were there at Lost Maples.

Yep a great place to get a beer or two and a burger.

The Square Plate Deli on the north side of the square in Mason is really good! Their cheesecake is amazing!

Last time we ate there the food has fallen off. We went there last Friday around noon. Sat 15 minutes never got waited on. About that time another couple were griping about their food being cold. After waiting 30 minutes just to get waited on and another 30 minutes to get their food. We got up and left and will not be back.

That place is good.

Pirate island in collinsville is Legit too. She is on the square in town.

This is in kilgore by the big money mile. Good food. Closes at 2 pm. Best migas ive had in awhile

Lum's in Junction

The Agave Jalisco in George West

Cowpokes in Pearsall

GG's Cafe is the second coming of Gorkeys Country Tavern that used to be on Weil Road in Cibolo out on Weil Road, it has a smokin Joes trailers in it now. I believe the GG is suppose to stand for Gorkey Girls, but not 100%.

Yes, the Goerke girls sold it last year, but the new owner was smart enough not to change anything. Now he's opening one up in Saigon.

Glad to hear it is still good, I havent been in a while.

We ate at the original Gorkeys almost every sunday lunch most of my childhood.

Likely saw you there.

Mama's Daughters on Irving Blvd. in Dallas. Best lunch around at a very reasonable price.

Yep great place I have eaten at the Royal lane & Harry Hines location many times it is way good and my favorite location and the pies are dayum good. I have tried the one in Lewisville on Main St. twice it is good but not the same?

I I lived closer to Leona, TX I would love to check this place out.

We tried it once and were highly disappointed. Steaks were full of gristle. Service was horrible. This was years pre-covid. Have zero plans to go back.

Good to know

Places like this is what I really enjoy going to.

Dang man, that sucks, i've been a few times, and my brother and his friends used to go fairly often. I usually get a 10oz medium rare, they're great, very little gristle.
I like their pecan cobbler and blue bell

Round Top Cafe looks like a good one.

Coppell Deli was GREAT back in the day. not sure if The same dick head still has it. He owns The Deliman Grill also. I sold him food for years. HI Fat burgers, Fries in Lard all the good stuff. Had a bunch of menu items named after Dallas Cowboy players as they were close to Valley Ranch, bunch of Cowboys lived in Coppell.

Jay Karami was his name, how could I forget

John Madden and Troy Aikman stopped by there in the Madden cruiser when the Cowboys were making another Super Bowl run. I told you, back in the day !! It was on the NFL Pre Game show.

It went straight to the guys head. jeeeeezus


food was great though. I would always get the "Stubb" . named after Daniel Stubbs. It was one he77 of a GUT BOMB !!!

Big Bob is Freds as good as it looks?

damn straight. best burger in fort worth.

Oh man I have to try this place out, any of y'all been here?

Dang Stub, that does look good.

Tons of little gas station taquarias scattered around TX that have good stuff. One here in Gilmer. When i have to head over to DFW, the Shell station at exit 509 on I-20 is my go-to lunch spot.

This is a good one if you get around Eastland
https://youtu.be/kd3BzPgM5s8

It is now on my list to try next few weeks!

Looks good and neat story!

Great food - get there early to watch the bats from the back porch and then go to the front and listen to some music.

Pittsburg Hot Link Restaurant.

East Texas caviar. I hunt in Camp County so I try so I pop in when I can.

The story is a little better still. Mae was my aunt and the finest lady I ever knew.Loved her like my mother!

Alamo Springs is legit. If you are having adult beverages, you need to save your bottle caps and pay at the end by showing how many caps you have. At least it was that way pre-Covid. One of the best burgers I have ever had.

We've gotten sick there twice. 'Probably just someone not cleaning the grill properly. We've also had some good times and good friends there a time or two. 'Used to be able to hear the bass player from my place, but we sold the place and got the hell out. Too many people loving the area to death. The locals called Alamo Springs "Hippie Hollow" when that ranch was first bought and busted up. (Not to be confused with the famous area on some lake by some city east of there.) But, there was plenty of dope grown in them thar hills for the last 35+ years.

we’re about to hit up Fred’s or that west side café. Both would be a first. Gonna flip a coin.

Not a hole in the wall but the Main St. Cafe in Lewisville is pretty tasty.
Pot roast special today $9.50 with two sides/

It wasn't any good at all

[quote=Hudbone]NB - Freiheit Country Store
Marion - GG's Cafe
Utopia - Lost Maples Cafe
Waring - Popo Family Restaurant
Liver and onion’s at GG’s is pretty dang good.

So which was it?

Herd’s in Jacksboro. Not near as good since the old man passed
Pam’s in Breckenridge has closed Pam retired

Ken’s chicken & fish in Breckenridge is still legit. Don’t order the onion rings unless you are hungry more than 2 can eat
Thriftway in Graham. Best burger around what Herd’s used to be not open on the weekends
On the Fly bait shop and restaurant on the West side of Lake Graham Great food, great service, clean
and the have hand cut ribeyes

Charlie's is as hole in the wall as they come...

Desi's in Batesville

100 percent on Thriftway in Graham. My favorite

Billiards in Graham, TX makes a solid burger and fries....

Negative. Claude is alive and well, just retired.

Gloria's Gonzalez cafe in Junction. (Cinder block place in front of the Lowe's grocery store.) Best Mexican for a couple of counties.

Clown burger is opening back up if anyone has ever been. Will try to go for a lunch soon and see if it’s as good as it once was

Same location?

I hear a lotta good about this place.

Had lunch there 3-4 years ago. It wasn’t bad. About like Herberts.

I tried Clown burger yesterday and the burgers and fries are really close to the past. They do need to work out the ordering/cooking process, but that will come with a little time.

If you are ever driving through Baird, TX on I20 stop in and try Circa 1880. Hand battered onion rings, great burgers and deserts.

$21.95 for a steak, shrimp and loaded baked potato.

Great news about Clown Burger Batman. I gotta get up there soon. Barely open a week or two it looks like, I bet they get it right.

If you are in the grapevine/euless area check out DFW Kabob and gyro. Fantastic affordable family ran spot

Lil Joe's BBQ and burgers in Rosebud Tx. on Hwy.77 going south from Waco, small wooden shack on your left before the one blinking light, you will drive by it if your not looking for it. But youll see all the local trucks there. Just saying but better than the BBQ joint that's down the road in Lexington thats always in the top three in the state with the grandmother pit master, thats only open on Saturday with people wating in line.

Billy's BBQ in Bastrop was my go-to when I lived near there.

Read back thru the whole thread. Now I'm hungry!
