The Texan had the greatest food. I believe it was in an old DQ building. I was a Freshman in ‘85 at A& M. Worked at Steak and Ale which became Oxford St. which was better quality while my BF worked at Fajita Rita’s and roomate at JJ Muggs which also changed names, I think to Rita’s. I recently saw that Cenare was still there. JT mcCords had closed while I was there. Uncertain why as business seemed to be good. Toms barbecue was popular. Swensens and Bennigans were in culpepper plaza along with 3 C barbecue. There was also Pops barbecue. The Deluxe, Cow Hop, flying tomato, the Chicken were all there. Cafe Excel (sp) had just opened close to univ dr and Wellborn and was popular. Now in 2017 it’s a bigger restaurant and different food on Texas. La Taqueria or La Taq as we referred to it was just a short distance down from cafe excel. Kroger was my store on SW parkway before Hastings and now not sure what is there. There was also the chicken oil company in Bryan and Farmers Market. Of course, DOUBLE DAVES is alive and well. I wonder if The Hall and Graham’s dance halls are still in existence? Used to go dancing with friends at The Edge, MC^2 (mc square), and The Roxy....big hair days. Worked out at 24 hr gyms which closed; then went to Golds gym. My son is now at A & M. Seems like a totally different town. I graduated in 1990; so it’s been 27 years. That’s just crazy!
