Fried onion rings

I once started a thread about picky eaters. Several people replied that they would not eat onions until someone brought up fried onion rings. Into longer deep fry at home and haven't had them in quiet awhile. I asked if they had onion rings the last time I went out for Po boys at Tads south of katy. To me onion rings only come two ways. Good and better. These were as good as I've ever had. Where do you find great onions?

Sonic has bad or great onion rings..... it’s a crap shoot...

That sure is true!

A place for good onion rings is the Rocket Cafe in Robinson. Best I can remember was at Grumpy’s in Flatonia, but it’s been closed for years. Also good is Billy B’s Sale Barn Cafe in Groesbeck.

Sonny Bryan’s in Irving used to have great onion rings, there bbq was never that good but the onion rings were great with their bbq sauce. They closed a while back though. Haven’t had any great onion rings in some time.

MG's in Sherman has good onion rings.

Murphy's in the little town of Winchester has the best I've ever eaten.

Jeneviens, Frisco

Back in the day, Popeyes had really good onion rings where there was actually some not over cooked onion under the batter.

The Ranch in Las colinas and Reata in downtown Fort Worth have the best onion rings. Thick cut and crispy batter. I knife and fork job. The homemade ranch is the only way to go here.

El Campo on lake worth used to. Miss that place.

X3....SAM's Buffet in Fairfield has some really good ones....

Best onion rings I ever had were Pennington's Drive In in Tulsa, OK. They were the onion string cut and flash fried. Excellent.

I can make some good ones when I can get Vidalia onions.

Chubby's Burger Shack on the Westside of Fort Worth, off of Camp Bowie and Cherry Lane are the best since my mama's.

The Smokehouse in Lindsay, Tx has excellent onion rings. Sometimes The Lumberyard in Roscoe, Tx can pull them off, others they are not good.

Dieter Brothers in Lindsay also has good rings.

I forgot about the smokehouse!!!

It sure does.

The very best onion rings I've had were made by Happy Balthrop in Throckmorton at the Greyhound Drive-In. Both are gone now but I still judge all onion rings (and burger's for that matter) by Happy's.

Clear springs in Nacogdoches has the best

Clear springs in New Braunfels are good too

X-2 for sure!

Yep.

Herman Sons in Hondo has good ones.

Alamo Springs Cafe in Fredericksburg/Luckenbach area.

The best onion rings and the best chicken fried steak sandwich I know of are both at Nell's Burgers.

Nell's is about 1/4 mile west of the intersection of US 190 on FM 2457. This intersection is about 4 miles west
of Wal-Mart in the Livingston area.

Clear Springs Cafe in New Braunfels and Blessing American Legion Hall restaurant in Blessing Texas both have great onion rings.

Old Lowake Inn used to have some great onion rings.

I have three places that I thought their onion rings were way above par ...

The Farmhouse in Mexia

Bill's Burgers, Wings and Things, Burnet

Gristmill River Restaurant, Gruene

X2 on the Gristmill

Bill and Rosas Cafe in D’Hanis.

Love that place. Fried catfish, chow-chow, onion rings, unsweetened tea. I'm in.

Jerry's in Onalaska

A hidden gem there. It is on 190 in Onalaska. Stop there if you are hungry.

Juicy's in Marshall makes a good onion ring

Hut's in Austin and Spanky's in Lubbock have great onion rings. Porky's Hamburger and Onion Ring Co. in Fredericksburg aren't too bad either.

Best around Erath County in order: Loco Coyote in Glen Rose, Hard 8 BBQ in Sville, Maverick Grill at I-20 and 281. 3 solid choices for those who love ORings.

I find them at Tads, or www.simplyrecipes.com that is
I admire your meticulous cropping capabilities

MG's in Sherman has great onion rings.

Real good try them last nite

++1....Best I ever had. Come to think about it, the burger, fries, homemade chips are the best I ever had too!

At home

Hubbard's in Garland or Rowlett has pretty good onion rings

The Sale Barn Cafe in Groesbeck has outstanding onion rings. And the Rocket Cafe in Robinson (next to Waco) has great ones too. Both places have hand cut onion rings. Not too big, not too little, and fried just right. Never soggy.

Last time I was at Alamo Springs Cafe, the onion rings were huge, but a bit soggy. Man, what a burger though.

Used to be that the best onion rings in Texas were at Grumpy’s in Flatonia, but they closed up years ago.


Heck, I said all this at the front of this thread. Oh, well...

These are probably the best in Texas.

I agree. Best Burger Barn in downtown Denison is pretty legit as well if you are in the area

Back in the 50's my grandpa would take me to the sale barn in San Angelo, the treat was going to the café, We each got a hamburger and shared plate of onion rings. if it was a good day, we also stopped at Lowake steakhouse on the way home, they also had good onion rings.

Haven’t been there in a few months, but Love and War in Texas Plano had really great onion rings.

Liberty Burger has dayum good ones

Same here my favorite

Yep yep!

On a side note is there such a thing as a not fried onion ring that would be edible?

Well I was wrong tons of recipes to be had: =baked|autocomplete|0&term_meta[]=onion|autocomplete|0&term_meta[]=rings|autocomplete|0]Link

Murphy's Steakhouse in Winchester were my favorite hand breaded onion rings when I lived in that area.

My mom made some a while back that were AMAZING she used a Louisiana shrimp fry bag mix and followed the directions on the bag for using on vegetables. I did it again at home and they weren't even close to hers. Not sure if it was the kind of onion or what.

After reading this I want to make some onion rings though.

I’m on a diet, and you guys are killing me. I would really love some fried onion rings about now. Or later. Or tomorrow.

Used to be a place on lake worth called El Campo's. best onion rings and frog legs you could find.

Was El Campo's the place on the bluff at the end of the runway? I liked that place.

yep. at the end of Bomber Road.

The wife insists on taking her friend (a woman that drives me crazy) to lunch. I reluctantly agreed to go IF we went to the sale barn, where I can get those great onion rings. You guys have made me hungry all week, talking about onion rings. I am ready for some.

I agree with you, the one on Eastman Road in Longview makes some fine ones also. They are huge.

Oak Ridge on Lake Fork Has good ones

Don’t think it is still around, but I always remember Tony Roma' had a great loaf of onion rings

Wheezies, Blossom, Texas

Ty Bolivar Street BBQ in Sanger !!!!!

Never tried the onion rings at Bolivar. They have good BBQ.

No we talking

I know it's not a piece of chocolate cake, but when you scroll quickly and dont focus, it appears someone ordered dessert for lunch.

I got the onion rings there today. They were a frozen product. Definitely thumbs down. Brisket was good though.

Butcher Boys in Nacogdoches, TX. An arguable close second is Clear Springs in Nacogdoches.

I LOVE onions and I love fried food, but I don't like onion rings. Makes me sick to my stomach, don't know what it is....

Charley’s Hamburgers on Granbury Rd. in Ft. Worth has some killer onion rings!

Old school!

Yes they do. Burgers are excellent as well!

lived here for 35 years and never tried them. guess it's time.

Much prefer making my own.
1 cup flour
1 cup beer
mix together and let set for at least 4 hrs.
dip onions and fry.
Dang good eating.

Dun Bar in San Angelo.

Mel’s in Boyd serves a good onion ring. Surprisingly, Arby’s in Decatur makes great rings.

Have to agree Juicys in Marshall are good
