I've been to Houston Street Bistro many times since I had written my last review (See Here). I've come to enjoy the food and service here. Their lunch special at $7.99 is really affordable and allows you to add salad and a soup at a low additional cost.[...]

Candy’s Old Fashion Burgers – San Antonio, TX
I wanted a burger but dreaded heading over to McDonald's. So, I did a quick search of nearby burger joints and found Candy's Old Fashion Burgers. I went to check them out being that they're one of the few restaurants above the Riverwalk that are open after 2:30PM. They're open until 7PM on weekdays[...]

Houston Street Bistro – San Antonio, TX
I checked out Houston Street Bistro the other evening and aside from the poor service, the food and ambiance was fairly pleasant. It took about 15-20 minutes for a server to approach us for our drink orders. They only have beer & wine which was also a disappointment.[...]

The food was decent, but they lacked quite a few things that any $$$$ restaurant should never lack[...]
Lulu’s Bakery & Cafe – San Antonio, TX
Bigger does not mean better. Lulu's is supposed to be known for their chicken fried steak, so that's what I ordered. What came out was an enormous, extremely beaten, flat, cubed steak severely breaded and deep fried. [...]
Mount Charleston Lodge – Las Vegas, NV
I don't know about Mount Charleston's lodging, but their restaurant was fairly decent. The views down the mountain from here are spectacular. It was nice to get away from the strip in Vegas and enjoy some snow and weather in the mid 50's.[...]

Pacific Dining Car – Santa Monica, CA
We were looking for a good place to eat before we went to see The Spelling Bee at the Wadsworth Theater. We kept driving for a bit and noticed a sidecar / train dining car / trailer sitting on the side that had a COW logo on it. Hey, anything with a cow on it HAS to be good, right?[...]
