Going to San Antonio/Austin
 

Purchased some last minute tickets just to get the wife and I out of town this week. Staying on the Riverwalk in San Antonio then going into Austin, never been there, any cool places to check out? Good places to eat?
Thanks

DO NOT MISS GOING TO "THE SALT LICK" BBQ ---



DO NOT MISS CONTACTING "SW"- In Austin



PM or Call me or him for his info.


DO NOT TAKE ANY RESTAURANT ADVICE FROM "CARBUFF" AKA Bryan. :peepwall: :mock: :stirthepot: :lmao:

I hear the Salt Lick just outside of Austin is a BBQ spot that you shouldn't miss.



You beat me to it GW. X2 on what Weld says.

Pm sent...

SW

Don't miss here:

24 Diner:

Great farm to table food. 24hrs a day (with the exception of Wednesday morning from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. when we’re closed for cleaning). Great beer and wine selection.

Ironworks:

I enjoyed their brisket. I thought of Roger when I saw this place a few years ago.

Austin Speed Shop:

The guys weren't very friendly and they didn't give shop tours, but it was kind of cool to peer through their glass lobby into the shop and get a t-shirt. I'll have to admit I contributed $20 to Jeese's post-West Coast Choppers empire.

:happy23: Since you are staying on the river walk you have to take the boat tour, it adds to the experience... :relax:

Complete D**K'S in there... and frankly so is the idiot that owns it. A monumental waste of time unless you like Aholes and want to buy a hat to prove it. :lol:


I saw the 2 seat "indy car" or whatever it was that they built for taking people around COTA (the new track in Austin) when we were there for the races --- That should have been my first clue not to bother.

The Continental Club on Congress, well the entire scene on Congress is pretty cool. 6th street downtown has lots of good music joints. The guys at Austin Speed Shop have always been cool to me and have always let us wander thru the shop in back and look at what they got going on. Never met "the owner", but I do gotta say he's got a bitchin Merc and he has some mad skills to go with the attitude he (presumably) has.
But I've only "stayed" there for the Lone Star Roundup show, but have been thru town a few other times.

Off the subject, there is a MONSTER gas station called Buc-ee's in New Brumsfield just north of San Antonio that is amazing! It's like the size of a Walmart and doesn't have big truck stuff. They have bathroom attendants that clean the stall every time it's used! Yes, I am easily impressed!! LoL! :hapdance:

Thanks all, we'll be flying out tomorrow and will check out a few of these places.:thumbsup:

Enjoy you trip Lenie.
