Talk to me about Texas Tom's and your experiences there (past/present)
I have great memories of this place. Those plastic army figures encapsulated inbetween booths inside translucent plastic casing, swimming in sand (few will remember those)
We had one on 7-hwy.
Feel free to discuss Taco Via as well, here.
If you're from the Joplin/Carthage area or SE Kansas, maybe discuss Taco Town?
I was reminded of these places when I ate at Del Taco yesterday (here in Atlanta) and noticed they served fries w/ Tacos and offerend Burgers on their menu.
Del Taco was very good - nothing like the crap it once was when it left the Atlanta Burbs in the mid nineties - this 'new' one just opened. They're back w/ a new menu and attitude! - DelTacoReviewBrah

They call them Rallys in some areas. There are some in St Louis. I heard their primo burgers are good. [Reply]

sure I'd do that. I've always done mustard on mine. Been forever since I've had one - that's truly unique to KC - those fried pork tenderloin sandwiches - maybe 3 states, something like Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska - perhaps Oklahoma? But seems they're most prevalent in KC. You don't see them in Atlanta nor the southeast, at all. - not even at our Culvers - who I understand carries them in Missouri and Wisconsin. [Reply]

yep - catch them on a good day - they're probably still good. But they've changed their methods - I can just tell. when I first moved here - it was one of the things that Atlanta had that KC (at the time) did not - and they were really damned good, back then. [Reply]

When fresh - I'm sure they're still decent - but the last two times I gave them a shot (over the last two years) - I could hardly eat it. The fries were always good though, for sure.
Last time I ate there would have been the late 90’s, I remember it being pretty good...I Left KC in ‘97. We have, or at least had, Rally’s here but I’ve never gone to one...not close to where I live...but I remember seeing one on Venice Blvd in Culver City, that’s been about a decade ago though...

Indiana takes great pride in their Tloin sammies, make a bad one, you toast.
A local soda fountain turned beer bar has a local cut and tenderize, they bread and fry them. For $4 with a $2 Two Hearted...best place ever... [Reply]

Tell you what buddy;

Be anything you want to be.
It's not what you got it's how you use it.
You be you And I'll be me. [Reply]
I haven't ate at a Texas Toms in forever. Surprised they're still around. I can't remember anything they did particularly well. I seem to remember Jalapeno poppers being good [Reply]
