- Bud Jones
(210) 977-9161
I have ate at Bud Jones several times this year. I am pretty much addicted to their fish platter or chicken fried steak dinner. I pass on their all you care to eat fish platter. Their regular three piece fish platter is about all I can handle.

- Bun 'n' Barrel
(210) 828-2829
I have ate here several times this year. Love their burgers and fries. The onion rings are really great. Austin Highway was one of San Antonio's main cruisin' streets. Not so much anymore, but, time has stood still at the Bun 'n' Barrel. Things are about the same as when I was a teenager out cruisin'.

- Casa Rio (On the Riverwalk)
(210) 226-6718
I have dined here several times this year. I love to sit outside watching the river, however, my wife does not share my enthusiasm. I love the Casa Rio Deluxe. I think that it is a great value. I have been dining here all my life and Casa Rio has changed little.

- Chris Madrid's
(210) 735-3552
Out of towners might find Chris Madrid's with a little luck. This is the place where you go way out of your way for a dynamite burger. I have been there several times this year.

Gosh, what can I say about Demo's. I lived in Greece as a boy and this is the real deal. They have been opened since 1979 and that is how long my family has been dining at Demo's. I love this place. This is the original location.

- Don Pedro's
Another all my life restaurant. I really like the owner, Mr. Ruben Sepulveda, a great gentleman with a fine restaurant. I believe his sons are in charge now. Bubbette is a country gal from a little bit south of town. When she was a young lady their idea of a high time in the city included a stop at Don Pedro's. Still delicious after all these years.

- Earl Abel's (Opened 1933)
Alas Earl Abel's has been closed. They are supposed to be reopening at a new location. San Antonians will always have fond memories of Earl Abel's. Here's two for you. Students from Texas A&M would come here on Sundays looking for, or offering a ride back to the Mighty Texas Aggie's campus in College Station. Earl Abel's is also the site of where Representative Henry B. Gonzalez (D-TX) took exception to the remarks of another patron, arose, and proceeded to demonstrate that he could still throw a punch. Ah, the fond memories.
The new location is now open at the address below.

- Hungry Farmer
It is a hard choice between this place and the Little Red Barn. I have been coming here just about as long as the Little Red Barn. I really, really enjoy this place. I like the owner also - a real nice good ol' boy.

- Liberty Bar
If you happen to decide to go here after a few drinks don't worry. It's not you the dadburn ol' building leans. Hasn't fallen on anyone yet that I'm aware.

Big Bubba eating here recently is not the news. I eat here frequently. The waitresses know me. I have been eating here practically all my life. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Bubbette and I cruise in here for two medium T-Bones, steak fries, salad and tea for just under $30.

- Lulu's Cafe
Lulu's Jailhouse Cafe was originally located across the street from the Jailhouse. One, or more, of the principles actually took up residence in the Jailhouse. The survivors have moved the operation to Main Street. They have a reputation for serving up huge chicken fried steaks. They are indeed huge, and they are great. Reportedly a favorite of Shaq's when he is back in town.

Time has stood still at the Tip Top. Step back into the fifties for some great food.

- The Malt House
A little taste of authentic Westside San Antonio. They have malts, they have burgers, they will come to your car and take your order if you flash your lights. I have my ubiquitous Mexican plate pictures because I am weak. If they got the plate I pass on the burgers.

- The Pig Stand (Established 1921, World's First Drive-in)
Alas, I am sad to report the demise of The Pig Stand and Hailey's Restaurants. They have filed for bankruptcy. The hope is that someone will buy the business and revive it.

- Josephine Street
Steaks and such with a solid dose of ambience. If the tree growing out of the building ever heads west into the Liberty Bar it will be an epic disaster.
