I really like 1541 if I want a fresh cup, I also get my beans from What's the Buzz over by Tractor Supply.

I'd put coffee up there with burgers and mexican food on things that this town has a lot of good options for.

Thanks! That's who I figured, but maybe there was another one hiding out there.

You're joking about the mexican food, right? This town doesn't have any mexican food and the vast majority of the tex-mex is just barely mediocre.

I agree, but I'm from Mecca, aka The RGV

Late 80s, early 90s there was a great place on College up N of Grahams. Casa Chapultepec.
That location is now beer joint looking place

Anybody know if the RGV family that owned Chapultepec moved to a new location or are they just gone?

Raspas El Payasito, La Familia Taqueria, La Carreta, Jesse's, Taqueria El Tio are all plenty good.

I do agree we don't have a lot of good sit-down-and-have-a-margarita type Mexican restaurants though.

Was in the Starbucks at University @ the bypass this morning. They will be closing that location & opening one with a drive thru around Tarrow & University by late 2019.

Are they waiting until the new location opens before they close the current location?
Imagine the riots if people can't get their double venti, triple shot, sugar-free vanilla, half soy, coffee-flavored sugar water with the caramel drizzle and extra whipped cream.

I thought earlier this year the Is that a Thing podcast said they would be keeping the other University Dr. location open and just adding the new one by the Hilton with a drive through.

Yea, but it seems he gets his info from here since he's usually a few days after it breaks here.

Meh. I'd put Bill Miller's BBQ below Rudy's unless you like gallon jugs of ice tea.

Interesting on Bill Miller. Years ago they were my account. They only had a certain radius they would build restaurants since everything from what I understood was made at a central location and then distributed. Now this was 15 years ago so many they have more than one main distribution spot not.

Everything is produced at their downtown plant. It is really not very good. I would put in the Dickey's category and we all know how that went.

I'm originally from San Antonio and love Bill Millers. Their brisket is pretty average most of the time, but the rest of their food is pretty good. Quick and convenient. Their breakfast, specifically their tacos, are what I'm most excited about having in BCS.

You're being generous with "average." And those jerks charge for sweet tea refills. They're dead to me.

I want whomever is installing that turf to do my lawn.

Look up Perfect Turf. They are out of state but have installers in the area. All in all installed would probably run around $4-6 per SQFT depending on what turf you go with. It's pretty expensive but I would like to do this with the lawn on my next house (hoping to build soon). Expensive up front but little to no maintenance and no watering bill spikes or mowing.

You can get it even fresher from their actual roastery over behind the BCS Asian Market and Tractor Supply. If you're not sure which blend you'll like they'll also give you some pointers and they usually have at least one or two freshly brewed that you can try.

Literally don't know anything about them, but they seem like good people and I love their coffee.
