Go try and take out the table sized pizza at Mamma's. Also, check out 3C BBQ and Rosewood Junction.

3C was packed.

We went to Bennigans at Culpepper Plaza. Also packed.

Ended up at Swensen's. I had the French Dip.

Eccell was Greek family. Capri Italian, and still open. So one is better than the other.

Cafe Eccell was originally an Italian guy, Donnie Anz, co-founder of the Dixie Chicken, Chicken Oil Co., and founder of Deuxe Burger Bar an La Taqueria.

I know he and his wife Cheryl sold Cafe Eccell. Maybe they sold it to Greeks.

I miss that place. It was awesome, not cheap, and always packed. Best place in CS to go for a celebration and a nice meal.

Cafe Eccel really was a bargain. I had a vendor from Seattle come to town and took him there in the late-90s. I think our tab at the time was about $50. He freaked out and said a meal like that would have been $100 in Seattle (at the time)

It was amazing, wasn't it? Pretty much world class quality food and pastries, right there in College Station. We took friends from California there who said basically the same thing.

Although, if I could post this in two threads I would also post this into the crazy things you've seen thread. Pretty sure I saw kitchen staff at Cafe Eccel make a drug deal one night while eating there.

Speaking of restaurants that were good and now gone, did anyone ever eat at The Texan at Villa Maria and South College?

Man, when they were in the old location off university, it was special. The chicken sandwich was incredible, pizza was solid, strawberry tart dessert was simply fantastic. I think my girlfriend (now wife of 30 years!) discovered it right after they opened.

Also, Rosalie's Italian right across the street in the old La Taq location was really great too.

Early 90s, best restaurants in town. I can still smell that wood-fired pizza oven.

Seems like just yesterday the latest rehash thread for townies and old balls posters to haw-haw about defunct Aggieland restaurants was posted.

Anyhoo, put me down for some wings from Bullwinkles.

Yah, it was a go-to for Big 6 (now Big 4) recruiting dinners in the 90s.

The last owners were Costa and Andreas Dallis. They eventually changed it to Public and Main (which was REALLY good), and then it shut down. They are also the owners of Burger MOJO and So Fly Chicken. I know they owned it for quite a while before they closed it.

I THINK they brought the strawberry tarts back at one of the burger MOJO locations. Costa posts on the Aggieland board occasionally.
