Lunch specials and a large salad bar help make Fort Shiloh a favorite for visiting relatives. Prices are moderate, but better if Mom is paying. HILL SEAFOOD RE STAURANT (4301 Carter Creek Parkway, Bryan) — Another e” restaurant (i.e. go with mom or a date). Seafood salad, soups, stews, sandwiches and gumbos are served at lunch; more elaborate seafood concoctions are served in the evening. Entrees somewhat skimpy for the price. Moderate. JULIE’S PLACE (607 Texas Ave.) — Moderately-priced food served in an elegant atmosphere. The menu offers a wide selection of seafood, steaks, quiche and other dishes, but service is fre quently slow. KEN MARTIN’S STEAK HOUSE (1803 S. Texas Ave., Bryan) — A good family-type re staurant, serving chicken-fried steak, baked potatoes and other goodies. Inexpensive to mod erate. talian style. $2.25 $2.25 $2.25 $2.25 $2.25 BEEF AND BREW (Wood- stone Center) — Elegant food served in an atmosphere resemb ling an old railroad depot. The ser vice can be slow, but the food is «d. Moderate to expensive. COUNTRY KITCHEN (Hwy. ') — All-you-can-eat catfish and chicken make this restaurant a family favorite. A good choice for when Mom and Dad are in town, or when you have a bad case of the munchies. Inexpensive to mod erate. INTERURBAN EATING HOUSE — Offers an elegant atmosphere and wide menu. The burgers are moderately priced, with steaks and seafood costing a bit more. PELICAN’S WHARF (2500 Texas Ave.) — A salad bar filled with crisp lettuce and fresh veget ables is only the first part of a meal prepared with alacrity and care. As is fitting, the fish dishes are specialties, but the steaks are large enough to make you uncom fortable. Moderate to expensive. TJ’S (707 Texas Ave.) — If you want to impress your date, but can’t afford The Texan, take him or her to TJ’s. The food is always good and their happy hour is one of the best in town. Moderate to expensive. THE TEXAN (3204 S. College Ave., Bryan) — Definitely a place for dates or parent-visit weekends. The exterior of this re modeled hamburger joint may be deceiving but this is actually one of the most elegant restaurants in town. Expensive — but it’s worth it for that special evening. TOKYO STEAKHOUSE (411 S. Texas Ave., Bryan) — Spe cializing in Japanese steaks and Chinese dishes, the Tokyo Steak- house also offers live entertain ment on Fridays and Saturdays. Moderate. RESTA URANT/BARS Let’s face it, most people go to these places to drink and socialize. But some actually have good food, too, and music caters to their pat- BACKSTAGE (319 University Drive) — Go to Backstage before you get hungry, because you’ll work up an appetite just waiting for your food to arrive. Most of the time, it’s worth the wait. Enter tainment on weekends includes belly dancers, guitar players and jazz combos. Inexpensive to mod erate. REBEL’S (4425 S. Texas Ave., Bryan) — Live music, food and drink specials. Rebel’s is a popular weekend hangout. Happy Hour draws a crowd Monday through Saturday as well. The menu fea tures burgers, steaks and appetiz ers. Inexpensive to moderate. DIXIE CHICKEN: (On Uni versity in Northgate) Infamous for the hordes of people it draws in side and out throughout the week, the Chicken is not usually thought of as a restaurant. But it does serve a limited selection of hangdown sausage, crackers, cheese and jer ky. Don’t forget the coldest long- necks in town and all-time lavorite dominoes. FRANK’S BAR AND GRILL (913 Harvey Rd.) — Sandwiches, steaks and appetizers served, with jazz music in the background. Moderate. ROSEWOOD JUNCTION (1601 Texas Ave.) — Live music and dancing. Stuffed potatoes are the specialty of the house, but the kitchen isn’t always open. Check first to make sure you can get food to accompany your drinks if you’re hungry. Moderate. SANDWICHES Local sandwiches range from the humble hamburger to multi-meat and cheese Dagwoods. Decors go from elegant to “informal” ( “I don’t know if I want to eat in there”). HAMBURGERS BY GOUR MET (Woodstone Center) — A high-class hamburger joint that fe atures a wide variety of condi ments. Prices are inexpensive, but higher than you might expect to pay for a hamburger. The food is usually worth it though. DUDDLEY’S DRAW (311 Uni versity Drive) — Huge sand wiches and pizza slices accompany more cold beer at this Northgate hangout. NEW YORK SUBWAY (109 Boyett) — Serves “Texas-sized New York-style sandwiches.” At least 20 different combinations of submarine sandwiches are served and you can order a half or a whole, depending on your appe tite. Inexpensive. ONION RING (203 University Drive) — Once just a little ham burger stand, the Onion Ring now serves breakfast and Blue Bell ice cream. Their hamburgers are huge and, as might be expected, their onion rings are delicious. In expensive. PEPPER’S (1800 Texas Ave.) — Huge hamburgers, probably bigger than you can eat. Fix them up at one of the best salad bars in town. They also serve scrump tious soft tacos. Inexpensive. SCHLOTZSKY’S (Culpepper Plaza and 100 Texas Ave.) — The Austin-based sandwich chain has two shops here, serving the basic Schlotzsky (a sandwich with two kinds of meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, black olives and mustard) and all variations. Inex pensive. SCHMALTZ (Culpepper Pla za) — A recent upstart, similar to Schlotzsky’s. Schmaltz does have one thing Schlotzsky’s doesn’t have — Manske rolls, cinnamon rolls imported from San Marcos dripping with butter. Inexpen sive. DANVER’S (201 Dominik) — Roast beef, hamburgers and bacon burgers, dressed at one of the best salad bars in town. Side orders in clude salads, soup, pies and cookies. Inexpensive to moderate. THE COW HOP (317 University Drive)—There are just some days when you just have to have a Cow Pie. With cheese, mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos ... and fries. Don’t be scared off by the exterior — the interior looks just as bad, but the food is deceptively good and more than that, it’s inexpen- FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT Wonderful places, but you prob ably can’t afford to eat at them every day for lunch. They make a good break from fast food and bur gers. BUSTER’S (1227 S. College Ave., Bryan) — This restaurant always looks deserted but that’s only because of the reflective film on the windows. Definitely a di ning experience. The house spe cialty, red beans and rice, is excel lent. Inexpensive to moderate. GRAPEVINE (201 Live Oak) — Order the chef s salad, twice- baked potato or quiche. And San gria. Rumor has it that they serve other things, but this is unsub stantiated. Inexpensive to mod- LOADING ZONE (404 Uni versity Drive in the University Center) — A new restaurant, de corated in early American signs and Aggie memorabilia. The menu offers a wide selection of reasonably priced burgers, appe tizers and seafood. Inexpensive to moderate. LUBY’S (4401 Texas Ave., Bryan) — Yes, it is a cafeteria but don’t let that scare you off. It ca ters to an after-church crowd, and the food is good. Offers a large selection of salads, meats, veggies and desserts, but don’t go too late. Inexpensive to moderate — de pending on how high you load your tray. .50 &. ONE POTATO, TWO POTA TO (102 Church St.) — An old house converted into a restaurant which offers a variety of off-the- menu or made-to-order spuds. In expensive. SWENSEN’S (Culpepper Pla za) — With its French onion soup, sandwiches and quiche, Swen- sen’s is much more than an ice cream parlor. But their ice cream is delicious and they have a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Inexpensive. WESTERN SIZZLIN’ STEAKHOUSE (1701 S. Texas Ave., Bryan) — A Bonanza steak- house clone. The steaks are tasty and a salad bar to accompany them. Inexpensive to moderate. YOUNGBLOOD’S (3410 S. College Ave., Bryan) — A family restaurant offering some of the best fried chicken and chicken fried steak in town. Inexpensive to moderate. TINSLEY’S (1905 Texas Ave. S.; 705 N. Texas Ave., Bryan and 512 Villa Maria, Bryan) — Bo sure to try the rolls at this fried chicken emporium. Prices are low, and the food is good. It’s best to pick up and eat at home, though, since the chicken is messy. LATE NIGHT which is frequently. Some fast food places stay open late, but af ter around 2 a.m. your choices are limited. CARLSON’S (2712 S. Texas Ave., I Bryan) — A typical 24-hour a day | chain. Whether your 2 a.m. crav- | ings call for steak, eggs or hambur- , gers, Carlson’s can satisfy them. | Inexpesive. IHOP (103 N. College Ave.) — A bottomless coffee cup makes | IHOP a favorite for students with tests the next morning. Be careful, though, because you’ll get sick if you imbibe too much caffeine. Rumor has it that some people eat here during the day, too. Inexpen sive. THE KETTLE (1403 Universi ty Drive and 1601A Texas Ave., Bryan) — A wide menu, but a popular hang-out for some un usual people who are not stu dents. Go with a large group or at least one large male. Inexpensive. Ah, the midnight munchies. They always strike around test time.
