Wow! This thread brought back a ton of memories! Some of the restaurants already mentioned that I loved: Zorba the Greek's on Tuam Valian's Bellaire Broiler Burger (still eat there when I'm in town) Kip's on Bellaire (used to have breakfast there when working day shift) Yamin's on Buffalo Speedway Der Weinerschnitzel on Westheimer near Montrose Alfred's on Stella Link Others that I haven't seen mentioned: A&W Root Beer stand on Bellaire just east of Hillcroft Pancho's Mexican Buffet (kept a poor UH student from starving- all you could stand for $1.99!) There was a Greek place out on Bissonnet near Shipley's- IIRC it was called the Athena (or something like that). Also, places that I've forgotten the names of: Pizza place next to a flower shop on the NE side of the Park Place- Broadway- Gulf Fwy. traffic circle Mexican place on Kirby north of Richmond- it was FULL of UT stuff! Someone asked about Bert Wheeler's- isn't the one by Broiler Burger on Bellaire still there? Haven't been by there recently.
