Last day of business will be January 13th. Year after year, the owners have recieved higher and higher offers for the property. I don't know how mucbhe most recent offer was, but supposedly it was too hjgh to turn down. The location on Fallbrook will stay open.
Almost had a heart attack but then read the fallbrook location will stay open. That was my childhood BBQ before I knew what good BBQ was, but them chicken fried steaks doe.....
I’m not sure that I’ve ever had the bbq more than a couple times but I’ve had dozens of chicken fried steaks. Haven’t been there in many many years but I’ll go split one of those monster plate fillers with my wife before it closes.
Guy is 70ish and ready to slow down and be more with family. Like was said they've been working on this for years but finally made him an offer he couldn't refuse (apparently a huge selling point was the amount of parking, which leads me to believe it will be a non-residential-type place). Their chicken-frieds were always about as good as you could get in a restaurant, used to meet my dad and his downtown buddies there for lunch every couple of months or so. Don't think I ever saw anyone eat bbq there.
I once worked way out 290 and the beltway,,,small startup of 5 programmers. Once a month, or so, we’d go to Fallbrook for lunch on a Friday, and joke about how none of us were going to get anymore work done that day, and might as well close shop and go home for a nap. No BBQ for us, either. That was all about our necessary quota of chicken-frieds for the month. Closest I’ve had to that was in Stuttgart. The Southwestern Germans had a similar need for very large, Wiener Schnitzel plates with fries and Spaetzle, and the best sauerkraut in the World ... from Filderstadt cabbage. It’s no wonder Germans put such a big stamp on Texas food heritage ... dudes get it, especially the Baden-Württemberg brehs.
Hell yeah dude, that's where we got the cfs from. Every region in Central Europe has a version of it...some veal, some pork, some flour, some breadcrumb, some version of potatoes, some version of greens or fermented stuff... our gravy is the best though. Got me thinking of all the places we used to go meet for lunch 10+ years ago, since I was in Greenway and he was Downtown we tried to meet in the middleish. I miss those days (and him) Last Concert Teotehuacan Christian's Tailgate original Spanish Flower West Gray Cafe Niko Niko's 100% Taquito La Jaliscience Mai's Les Givrals Hobbit Cafe Ziggy's Healthy Otto's on Memorial I know there's a few I'm forgetting, and I don't think half of them are open anymore
So Barbecue Inn on Yale. Maybe the best fried shrimp in town and some good fried chicken. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone eat the bbq.
