There's this Chinese buffet on Texas Avenue near Southwest Parkway (in the same strip center as the Kroger and McDonalds). My best friend and I go there every time we visit C.S. for football or basketball games, or play golf. I've seen the sign so many times it just blends in... China King, maybe?
Face it, there isn't a lot of really good food in C.S. Not a lot of well-to-do restaurants (sorry, Cheddars doesn't count), just a lot of chains and buffets.
Fort Shiloh is gone, and they had great steaks back in the 70s and 80s. There was a nice little Italian restaurant on University, aboout a block east of Texas Avenue... also long gone. Hell, even the Cow Hop closed (great cheap burgers)!
I ran a pizzeria from 1983 until 1985. It was on Patricia Street (which is now the big parking lot for Northgate) and called Chanellos. We made a great pizza. I tweaked the recipe to match what I grew up with in the northeast and it took (the chain still uses my sauce recipe, but they moved to Virginia).
You can find some decent barbecue on Harvey Road, get decent nachos at Fitzwillies. But face it, Applebees is considered haute cuisine in C.S. There isn't a lot of really good food. Even the Death Burger at the Chicken Oil Company (okay, so it is in Bryan, but close enough) has suffered. I had lunch there in January (went to the A&M - OU game) and my burger was actually cold. The meat was warm, but the cheese hadn't melted, and the jalapenos were almost bland.
Please don't get me wrong. I love College Station. My wife and I have talked of moving there if we could find careers (I'm an MBA, she's a graphic artist), but the food just doesn't stand out. It is cheap, which is a big plus if you are a student, but I don't crave anything anymore.
I hate to say it, but a Chinese buffet is my favorite place to eat in College Station, Texas. I feel so ashamed. Maybe I can get a few hundred K in scratch and open a decent pizzeria?

Chambers 19 Bistro & Bar...that's a community eating place. They serve burgers, rooster, duck, steak, etc. the ambience is down-to-earth and relaxing, plus the eating place is located in a prior fashioned cultural/paying for district. So once you're carried out mutually with your meal, you are able to pass paying for interior the previous fashioned shops. the only draw back is that that's no longer ordinary to locate parking, given which you will possibly be able to desire to the two park on the line (and pay a parking meter) or attempt to locate a public automobile parking zone. Friday and Saturday nights, enormously throughout the summer time months, will coach to be the main complicated circumstances to locate even one open automobile parking area.

The Olive Garden
the wine samples are amazing, where else can you go and sample wine? The food is outstanding and they really do treat you like family
