It's still there.  Not in Lakewood anymore?

Oh we haven't lived there since 2004. We've been east of the lake ever since. There is a lack of good burger places over here but we did get a Rodeo Goat in Casa Linda. Goodfriend also has good burgers. My go-to for a time was Dugg Burger but it didn't make it through Covid. People swear by Flaming Burger over here but it looks sketchy as hell.

Jake’s has opened a new location on Walnut Hill/Marsh in the rebuilt shopping center that was destroyed by the tornado in 2019.

They didn’t have their liquor license when we went last week but it should be a decent place to watch games once they do.

They’ve got what looks like it could be a decent patio scene out back with a massive TV. We don’t really have that many good places to watch sports over here so this will do in a pinch.

That intersection was dogshit (even before the tornado) when we used to live up there. Glad to see they finally have 1 place worth eating at. Did that taco place that opened earlier this year near Spec’s make it?

No bullshit, this was one of the worst things I've ever had from a restaurant (at the downtown FW location).

FLAMING ROOSTER 10.99

Another Texas favorite for 40 years! A juicy grilled chicken breast, hot mustard, jack cheese, &
fresh pico de gallo.

Didn't get a burger because just had one the night before. I failed.

I think the location on Mockingbird closed down but that was a go-to for a time when we lived in Lakewood.

I like Goodfriend and the Casa Linda Rodeo Goat. 
 

Neither is outstanding but they’re both solid.

Adair's cheese burger with fries and a Lone Star pretty much kicks any other place's ass.  Lock thread.

Been meeting a client for happy hour at Hudson House a bunch lately. Awesome $10 cheeseburgers and $3 oysters to go with half price martinis.

Three of us the other night ordered nine martinis, two cheeseburgers, and a dozen oysters and I think it was $120.

Well this is relevant to my interests and 5 minutes from my house. El Vecino is a good place right next to it and you've got District 9 for German beers. Alfonso's is decent too. Good breakfast tacos at the Green Spot. Nice little shopping center.

Damn, I wish Hudson House had translated well to Houston. I heard such great things from my Dallas peeps and the Houston location sucks. Wife and I were hoping it would become our hangout since it’s walking distance to our house.

Only been to HH once, for lunch.  Was not impressed and thought the pricing was outrageous.  But, it seems like it's always packed so what do I know?

I get it. We used to go a lot. Like a whole lot. The burger is great and so are the fish tacos (which are more like wraps). I love the French chicken. Happy Hour martini/oyster deal is tough to beat too.

But I'm kind of steering clear of Hunter Pond places these days. My understanding is that he's a gigantic piece of shit.

Was super excited when the one in Houston opened as it is walking distance to my house. Went once and that was enough. Wasn’t impressed with anything we tried, including the burger. Felt like a poorly executed attempt at knocking off Hillstone/Houston’s.

The HH in Fort Worth seems to be doing well, they dropped a metric shit ton of cash into the buildout converting an original old AF ice house that had been a landscaping biz most recently. Very cool spot. Can’t say I’ve had a bad meal, hated seeing the HH deal get prices jacked up tho. 
 

and c man I’ve picked up on very similar vibes with the ownership.

I mistakenly thought they’d opened already. Swung by for lunch today. Doesn’t look like they will be opening any time soon. 

Ended up at Goodfriend and had the baby Bourdain. 
 

Slammed and went hard in the paint.

I don't know if they still have it but they once had a burger called the Pepper Bomb that was spectacular.

I didn’t get far enough down the menu to see that one. 
 

update:  checked the online menu and didn’t see it. They do have one called the Salazar that has habaneros.
