How on earth did you book a room during that weekend? I assumed they were long gone and the prices astronomical.

Planning a college visit later this summer so I'll see in person. Have a rec for good place to eat near campus? Haven't booked a room yet, so not sure where we are staying.

Stay at The George.
I know this is a LAME suggestion (all my fellow Ags will downvote me) ... but grab a bite to eat at the Dixie Chicken. Their burgers are fan-freakin-tastic, and it's an easy walk just across from campus. Casual and a good time.
Have a wonderful time, Mulkey Man! Congratulations to your progeny on graduation/heading to school!

those things look like they could be a random storage facility in a warehouse district.

Nah, get your burger at Chicken Oil Co. Easier to get in an out of, short drive from campus, pretty much the exact same food as the Chicken (owned by the same people) and no lame 30-40 year old dudes desperately trying to relive their college glory days bragging (aka lying) about how they didn't gag or spill when they chugged an entire pitcher of beer for their ring dunk.

The George looks fantastic. If he's bringing his wife, then I agree. But if we're trying to sell his kid on A&M, I think on-campus wins.
I suggested the Chicken too, but you're overrating the hell outta their burger.

I always liked the burgers at Koppe bridge off Wellborn

I agree, their burger is better. But it's all bar burgers. Similar style places too.
Did you ever make it out to Bryan when they had an upscale Koppe Bridge called River Bridge? I don't think it lasted long. Might have been before your time.

Holy cow that was the best. I knew the family who ran that place and I miss those burgers.

Thanks EKG. Will provide venmo for tuition contributions if she ends up attending.

The students will issue it everyday and it should be such a great atmosphere on game day.

How would you know? You barely graduated from UH.

I assume that being a shite Connoisseur is part of the aggy experience. What is it that makes you determine the said shite is from a hobo? How long have you been studying shite?

Looks like y'all are gonna have a bad habit.

The most accurate thing Alex Jones ever said was when he described the smell of down town Austin as “hobo piss”. That’s EXACTLY what it smells like.

You’re so irrelevant and it doesn’t help College Station from being a total shite hole
