Lone Star Round Up 2009--Eateries, Bars, etc--links included

I'm gonna be 'bumping' this thread about every 10 days or so til mid-March, then I'll switch to the 3day gig.
I figured aside from those of us "in the know", the FNG's and the 'outta towners' would probably appreciate stumbling across this info.
(besides, Laura's part took a bit of work on her part and wants to make sure it's benefited from)

 

For some good Tex/Mexican... Polvos on S.Lamar Careful with the Margaritas. They do bite.

Also on S.Lamar is Freddies. Good all around "American Fare" dogs are welcome and can order food as well. Washer pits for a little friendly compe***ion and decent beer selection.

 

I've never waited that long for a slice. Pull up anytime before dinnertime Friday and Saturday and walk right up and get one. Friday and Saturday you have to wait till after 9 or 10pm to get a slice though. OR, order a whole pie and walk it directly across the street and sit on the knee high brick wall and eat it while watching the action on Congress. Wouldn't matter how long it took to get a piece or whole pie, the RoundUp wouldn't be the Roundup without a piece of Homeslice pizza and Amy's ice cream.

 

Buy me a slice????????I'll buy desert

 

I'll buy ya a whole pie!

 

Torchy's Tacos on South First. Green Chili Pork tacos are *****in'! Gotta bring yer own beer, but the food is top notch.

 

I second this. It's a weekend ritual for me. It's only a few blocks over from south Congress and arguably the best breakfast tacos on earth.
Must have a green chili pork and a trailer park served trashy.

Fak...i'm going there now.

 

]If anyone has a question concerning travel plans, feel free to PM me. I also live 3 miles from the show location so I can help with info concerning non-south congress eating and sleeping arrangements.

Add this to the list Jef

its a dive but its cheap and close.

Thanks JROD, I like the Manor area....get a breather from the rat race!!!

 

Doc's on s. Congress

 

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

 

Only about 7 weeks til the Round Up!


Be there! And if ya can't, we'll miss ya.

 

I chose 1pm Texas time for all you guys across the pond to bump this thread. Since you guys are at least 6hrs ahead of me, figured most of yall would be home from work and logged on now before heading out to any pubs.

(Why do I love this picture so much?)

 

Maybe the Satan’s Cheerleaders will make a one night return out of retirement and show up at Beerland and perform with Buster and the Flametrick Subs!
That would be clasic!

 

A bit overdue for this wonderful picture...lol

 

For a damn fine burger and killer shakes you have to go to Sandy's on Barton Springs Rd. Good food, cheap, and greasy!! The pineapple milk shake is amazing. Its a great place to get a burger how you want it and not pay a fortune,

 

Matt's El Rancho on S. Lamar is pretty damn good tex-mex. May I suggest the smoked chicken enchiladas. It is a must for our gang when in Austin for the RU.

 

If this is the place I am thinking of they have great subs that are HUGE.

 

Another BUMP for the 'Weekend Warriors'.

Thought I'd stick in a pic of my old bird from the Navy.

 

If I might take a little poetic license with an old Tanya Tucker song::::

When I die, I may not goooooooooooo to heaven......
I don't know if they let H.A.M.B.ers in
If they don't, just let me goooooooooooo to Texas.....
Cause Texas is close as I've been

Thank you, Thank you very much!

 

As far as food goes


Brunch: at Trudys north is a favorite at my house.

BBQ: wise Lockhart is always good and Muellers in Taylor is one I really like.

Wings: Pluckers is pretty good

The beuatiful thing about living here is you never have to settle for a national food chain if you don't want to.

As far as keeping the wife happy there's an outlet mall in Roun d Rock and south in San Marcos. I've got a buddy coming in for the round up and the wives are goin shoppin while we go cruisin, on Friday.

 

AMEN to that!

 

Evangalines for good cajun food! Just wear sweat pants so you dont' burst a ****on.

 

Given it a bump since the show is so close....

 

**** yes. Oysters Contraband and a bottle of Abita Purple Haze.

 

Wow, I need to bump this.....the show's gettin close!
And I just know, someone is gonna get back home from the show and THEN discover this thread existed...lol.

Hope not, but ya know that s.o.b. Murphy!

 

I figured it might be of some help to NOT bump this at 01:00am in the morning!
So, here is a moderate nightly bump...
OH, there are some ADDITIONS! And places to buy Cowboy Boots for the people that want to go back home and say, "These boots are from Texas".

Enjoy!
~Jef

C'mon people! Dirty Martin's on Guadalupe, Chuy's anywhere..........
