The FeedBag in Plano is near the corner of Coit and I believe the cross street is Spring Valley. Kind of behind the Chick-fil-a that faces Coit.

The Feedbag in Plano is dead...

No more post soccer game Feedbag. Also, the Lincoln Grill closed. No more post soccer game Chicken Fried Steak.

We now go to Chuck's on Park, which is ok. The kids like it.

There's a Jake's on Parker close to 75 but I haven't been there yet.

I guess they shut down all of the feed bags.

We have Chuck's in Plano, just south of 121, but I prefer Scotty P's in Frisco.

I thought Wingfield's was a tad overrated. Not bad, but I prefer Scotty P's in Frisco.

best burger in dallas??? ...is NOT Goff's.

Went there today. Burger had no taste (even though it was cooked over coals)... I guess those SMU'ers/HP-UP bubble livers don't mind dropping nearly $5 for a relatively small burger that's no better than McD's.

Idle Rich Pub has some fantastic burgers... not the absolute best in Dallas, but they're great

Coppell deli rocks!

Had Kincaids' this weekend. I really wasn't all that impressed. It was good, but I was expecting more.

I agree with Al's. I used to live right over there and loved frequenting that place.

I also liked Coppell Deli...before it went upscale and became Deliman's Grill. Still some pretty good burgers.

Law, the original is still there. I'm not much of a fan of the new place...

So has anyone at all tried RJs? My friends and I keep introducing new customers. He thanked us personally the other day - he's about to expand into a full size place rather than the 3 tables he has now.

I'm pasting in Col. Jessup's review here :

quote:
Sorry for the delay. Here's the review:

I showed up in the middle of the day (2:00pm-ish), so there was only one other guy in there at the time. They had "Anacondas: Search for the Blood Orchid" playing on the little TV at the time and were talking about the movie the whole time. It was kind of funny because RJ had seen it and was telling the other guy what was going to happen right before it did.

Sitting in the booth looking at the Polaroids on the wall (are you up there, NoAC?) it felt a little like sitting in my great-grandmother's house. When the burger came out, the comparisons to Nanny's place were even more apparent. When you order the burger you get thick-cut fries and a can of coke (I got Big Red to add to the old-school feel!) with it. When I walked in (wearing a suit and tie), RJ said "you haven't been here before, have you?" I laughed and said no. Then he says "how hungry are you?" and tells me exactly what to get.

The burger was greatness. This isn't your typical restaurant burger, folks, this is what hamburgers are supposed to be! The meat was thin and covered the entire bun (which was also grilled on the griddle) and had been perfectly seasoned. I'm not sure exactly what spices he uses, but there is some cumin, cayenne and garlic salt in the spice mix. The burger is topped with cheese (melted on the griddle, of course), thick slices of tomato, lots of lettuce, white onion and pickles (I'm not sure what brand he uses, but they're very tart and go perfectly with the burger). The fries are seasoned (not exactly the same as Burger House, but not altogether dissimilar either) and cooked to crispy perfection on the outside while remaining tender inside. There is ketchup and mustard on the table, and they bring out a packet of mayonnaise (my choice -- I know, I know, but that's how I like it). Everything is very reminiscent of the kind of burger your grandmother (or great-grandmother, as the case may be) would make for you in her cast-iron skillet. It reminded me of the Eddie Murphy bit about his mother making him a homemade burger instead of McDonald's in a way. Add in RJ chatting me up about the movie and anything else that came up and I couldn't have been more pleased.

Overall, I'd give the burger an 8.5 out of 10, but I can't see how I'd give any burger made in a restaurant anything more than a 9. Is it the best burger in the Metroplex? I'm not sure, but it's better than any I've had. Honestly though, I could see how someone could go and not appreciate it because it is a bit different than the burgers you'll find at most of the other places around town. Add RJ, the booths, the movie and the conversation, and we're approaching burger joint perfection. Every burger lover should check it out.
