Joe Allens Pit BBQ in Abilene. Last time I ate there was 1985 or 86, I was doing some short term work at the TI site there. At that time it was "THE BBQ" place. I remember the food was great. We deployed there in 84 or 85. We went to a restaurant in a hotel that served the finest steaks I've ever seen. Wish I could remember the name. SAC life.

I have outlived most of my favorite dives:
The original Herrera's on Maple Avenue in Dallas.
Hole in the Wall on Harry Hines in Dallas.
Guey Sam's in Chicago's Chinatown.
The Original Hot Dog Shop just off the Pitt campus in Pittsburgh
Gone but not forgotten.

Hole in the Wall on Harry Hines was greatness.

We deployed there in 84 or 85. We went to a restaurant in a hotel that served the finest steaks I've ever seen. Wish I could remember the name. SAC life. Chateau Briand was served at a hotel on west 80 towards Dyess. That's the only hotel I can think of that served that kind of meal back then. Joe Allen's was real good back then, Harold's BBQ was the bomb! Never had hot cornbread like Harold's.

I always ate at Perini Ranch, Zentners Daughters, and Joe Allen’s when I went to Abilene, but none were in a hotel. I think Zentners is closed now after a long run.

The original Zenrners on Beauregard in San Angelo was greatness and would qualify as a dive. Steaks cooked on a flat top grill in garlic butter, and they were so good. I could walk there for lunch from 1981-83 and did so about twice a week.
