Mayuri: Best dosa

by kyoub

This is a very busy restaurant at lunch time when they serve a buffet daily.For the best food come at night for dinner. They have a full bar and a lot to choose from on the menu. You won't leave hungry.They have just moved to new location. Everything is new and shiny. Very good wait staff. My favorite dish is the huge paper dosa, a crisp crepe served with a potato filling on the side and several chutneys. I also like the Moong Dosas.

Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse: Great Barbeque = messy fingers

by cyrpawn

I drove up and the place looked like an old postcard. The smokehouse was tiny with a liquor store next door. It had a large roadside sign that said Sonny Bryant's. I was told for authenic Texas Barbeque, the best was the original location, so I went. I opened the car door and was overwhelmed by the wonderous aroma of barbequed, smoked meat.Walking inside I was greeted by a cheery gal who explained the menu and specials to me.I ordered the brisket sandwich, short ribs, and onion rings.I could eat this everyday. I dipped in their signature sauce, tangy and sweet, strong flavored.The floor is cement and you sit in antique school desks to eat, very nice feel, very comfortable. I loved the brisket sandwich. Tender, juicy meat, seasoned properly. Yum.

7 Salsas: Best Queso ever

by cyrpawn

This dining gem is hidden away on the corner of a strip mall. It is spacious and decorated as you would expect.They have an outside seating area and a small bar area.Was told by locals that they have wonderful salsa so with the name like 7 Salsas, I had to check it out.Reasonably priced, quick service, large portions. The salsa is fresh and chunky and served hot with fried chips.I ordered the large margarita to go with them. Way smooth, so I ordered a few more. They were not busy and my service was great. I ordered a mixed chicken plate, can't remember what it was called on the menu. It had the greatest cheese sauce I ever tasted. It was a special mixture of sour cream and light cheese. Not goopy or overly heavy, it complimented the meal.My bill was under $23.00 with the drinks. I think they have happy hour margarita specials daily too. The yummy cheese sauce.

IndyaFusion: Great buffet lunch

A standout Indian restaurant that serves a fusion of north and south Indian food. Bright modern atmosphere. Excellent buffet lunch daily. No bar but good Mango lassi. One of their novelty dishes is egg burji, an indian take on scrambled eggs.Delicious curries and Marsala Dosa.

Prairie House: Old West Dining

by Astrobuck

Great place. When you walk in, there are a lot of trophies on the wall, including Bison, Elk, Deer, and other animals. There is even a stuffed bear in the corner! Cowboy and Indian decor everywhere, anything from paintings to relics. License plates and old barn wood help build the walls in this place, as well as old doors and antique decor. Try the Buffalo Burger, medium. I thought I had the best in Colorado...looks like I was wrong. This place has the best Buffalo Burgers on the planet!!

Antares: Revolving restaurant

by kyoub

For my birthday on July 30, 2006, we went to Dallas and ate brunch at Antares Restaurant. It is in the Reunion Tower, up on the 50th floor.It was breathtaking to sit there and revolve around to see the sights of Dallas without all the traffic and noise.I hardly had time to eat for looking out the windows.There was Sunday brunch set up at various stations around in the middle of the circle. The tables revolved but the food stations remained in place. You never knew where your table would be when you returned.As soon as we were seated we were given water and champagne.Our waitress was very friendly and even offered to take our picture before we left. I always head for the breakfast station and have a made to order omlette.Then I check out the dessert table.That day I found a dessert with blueberries that was delicious.

Texas Land & Cattle Steak House: Texas Steak

by grandmaR

Except for one restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this is a Texas Steakhouse Chain, headquartered in the Dallas area. THe website says:"The virtues of the Old West live on at Texas Land & Cattle. Here, in a setting of casual elegance, you're welcome to sit down with friends and enjoy USDA choice steaks, chicken, ribs and seafood, all grilled to perfection over a mesquite fire."Try our Signature Smoked Sirloin, thick, hand-cut slices of pepper-smoked aged choice sirloin, slow cooked to perfection for authentic Texas flavor. Add a Trail Boss Margarita, some Texas Onion Strings and a huge baked sweet potato to complete a true Texas meal."I loved the pecan ice cream ball.

Texas Land and Cattle Company

by keeweechic

This restaurant is Texas based although it has now expanded to New Mexico. The company took over from he famous Night Hawk restaurant in Austin who created an authentic Texas ranch house setting with large fireplaces, booths, and large portions. They had been in operation for 70 years. The Texas Land & Cattle has since expanded to seventeen locations.Their Signature menu items include: "Texas Land & Cattle Steak House’s Pepper-Smoked Sirloin, specially seasoned, slow-cooked and sliced to order in 10-ounce and 16-ounce portions; The Trail Boss Margarita, a 16-ounce frozen Margarita made with Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila and a special lime mixture; and Branding Iron Margaritas, hand-shaken sipping margaritas, featuring a choice of top-shelf tequilas."

Al-T's Seafood and Steak Restaurant: Great Cajun Seafood in Winnie

by Basaic

This place serves some of the finest cajun cuisine in Texas. The decor was fine as was the service. I would definitely stop here again. Al-T's Seafood Platter has fish, crab, shrimp, and even froglegs, along with red beans and sausage, crawfish etouffe, and a side of jumbalaya. It is all very, very good. Bring your appetite.
