Wingz and more are better than BWW, but not by much. Wing Stop's problem is the the wings are too small.

I am right.

Oh and I forgot. Havrey washbanger has acceptable wings. They don't do the waiver release form ones anymore. Those were stupid hot.

I'm like the 3rd person to call you out on WnM. Just face facts. You are wrong.

This is spot on. I'd say Christopher's over the Republic, but that's splitting hairs and only because of the charity Christopher's supports.

Coco Loco is fricking delicious.

Antonio's is awesome, if you want Pizza, get it for lunch, there will be a line out the door any time after beer:30.

Yeah it's great. Favorite pizza in town is their BBQ chicken. I don't like that they had to change locations from the quaint building they used to occupy; but I'll admit their new place turned out better than I imagined it could.

And I prefer Republic because I just like their food better., but again, splitting hairs.

It is strange that its in a crappy strip center. However it is right next to the Hilton on University. So good location, crappy strip center.

As with Coco Loco, I don't discriminate on building appearance.

Agreed. Is it still open? I know a petition had to save it once, and La Bodega (RIP) was already taken from us too soon.

They were shut down again for some reason but their sign said they were gonna reopen yesterday.

Anybody ever eaten at The Feed Barn or The Longhorn. Longhorn used to have the best chicken fried steak in town before they moved but now it's just ok.

Yeah my dad loves coco loco, but no thanks for me. Too many other options IMHO. The pigs love that place though. It seems every time I drive by there are always cop cars in the parking lot.

The Feed Barn is good and yeah the new Longhorn sucks, they joined the chain Longhorn Steak Houses and it's nowhere near the same and that's a damn shame. If you want just good food go to Shannon's on 21, ignore the ratty assed building and go in and eat you can thank me later.




Eta: Hullabaloos out in Wellborn is an excellent choice as well.

That place is great. Worth the drive in early for breakfast.

Speaking as someone not native to Texas but who now loves living here and bleeds maroon.....

My family and friends really enjoy the Dixie Chicken in Northgate (tourist trap of sorts....always named best college bar in town); and they like the Texas feel of Chicken Oil (burgers, etc.). I agree that Koppe Bridge tops both on food. But the other two are worth the visit as well.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is Midnight Yell. Go to it. It's unlike anything I've ever seen or heard of. And being a Tide fan, you've seen plenty of cool traditions; but this is one you won't forget. 30,000 people at midnight, gathering for Yell practice. I never cease to be amazed.

Welcome to College Station. The stadium is really amazing and you'll thoroughly enjoy it. One thing I love about our fanbase is the amazing hospitality toward opposing fanbases while in town (not saying you won't find an a-hole or two...only that if you are respectful, you'll find it returned many times over; if you're like some of my Mizzou friends who come down and mouth off....well.....Texans don't roll over....).

I hope you have a great time here, but hope you find the game and trip home less enjoyable.
