Steak and Ale although some may reopen. Bonanza Steak House in Austin was good. Some of the Sizzlers were good also. Don't hold your breath on the Steak and Ale thing. S&A wasn't gonna get a Michelin star or anything but it was always consistent. It is one of those places that didn't get the credit it really deserved until AFTER it was gone.

Fudruckers.
They were awesome back in the day when they butchered the beef and baked the bread in-house. Not near the same when they started outsourcing, but I still liked them. Man I miss that place

Lock, Stock, and Barrel
The Filling Station
Railhead
Kitty Hawk
Victoria Station
Randy Tar
All in the Greenville Ave - Northpark area! That’s a good list of some damn good places back in the day. Add Mariano’s, Back Country BBQ and TGI Friday’s to that list too. And that was before TGIF got all screwed up by over expansion

I see Victoria station was mentioned, that brings back a lot of memories. My folks loved the prime rib there and I got it fairly often. Steak and ale mentioned too, that’s where I took my now wife on our first date. At least the salad bar was good
