remembering Austin food places

runswithscissors's Avatar
With Dot's closing, I was remembering back to some of Austins favorite food places. Notice I am not saying restaurants, because some of these places barely passed the health inspections each week but we loved to hang out there. Anyone remember The Stallion on North Lamar, and of course Airport Haven on Airport Blvd. What do you remember of past haunts?

G&M Steakhouse on the drag was great years ago!

And that place on Riverside was also a Landry's before it was a Joe's Crab Shack.

That was owned by the same guy that owned all the "Jims" eateries, and he had the food concession for the place at the top of the Tower of America in San Antonio. But not now.
