What are some of your favorite Cen-Tex restaurants that are no longer open?
One I really liked in Waco that was right off Interstate 35 (not far from Baylor) was Tanglewood Farms. The food they served was kind of like what the Cracker Barrel offers, but I think it was better (at least when the restaurant was at its prime). They also didn't have the store like Cracker Barrel.
I can remember eating there quite a few times in the mid and late 1980s, and the food was almost always good, no matter what you ordered. They had a great chicken-fried steak. The rolls/biscuits were also something to look forward to.
I'm not sure why the place closed (it happened during the seven years I lived away from the Waco area), but I heard it had gone downhill a bit.
People have told me Tanglewood used to have a line stretching outside the door sometimes for breakfast, but I only ate their for lunch or supper.
