Since I've been exploring Texas via restaurants, I thought it might be fun to share the places here...sort of a mini-travel guide! Post your favorites and what you eat/ate there!

I'll start with Alamo Springs Cafe near Luckenbach, TX.

"Named One of Top Burgers in Texas! August 2009 Texas Monthly magazine ranked our green chile cheeseburger (with grilled onions and avocado) as one of the top burgers in Texas and featured it on the front cover!"

This was super delicious!

Luling City Market in Luling, TX for BBQ.

On review said "it's amazing BBQ with great butcher style atmosphere"
I just said "yum!"

There is one of these in Houston, but I haven't tried it out (yet) to compare to the one that is actually IN Luling. Anyone?

How about Hickory Hollow Restaurant & Cafe, Houston?

I had the Alamo Platter...just get a doggie bag, cuz it's a bunch! But yummy stuff, so you'll want to revisit it as leftovers!

Glenda, you've got me wonderin' if "SW Tookies" is still around?

It was a GREAT burger joint in Seabrook; best iced tea I've ever had "out".


Hamburgers by Gourmet in Houston, also ... Think it's on Kirby?

Of course, Goode Company ... best bar.b.q and pecan pie ... Kirby, again

Also in Houston:

Sammy's Lebanese on Richmond in SW, near Galleria area ...

India's also off Richmond and Kirby, more Montrose area ...

Taj Mahal on I-45, Almeda exit, as I recall ...
