Not that the food was any good, but Player's.  I miss that spot.

Decent burgers. Fries were ok, but not hand cut or anything like that. I did enjoy the Austin dive bar vibe, but you can still get that at Posse East.

Maybe a bit off thread, but it looks like there will be one more restaurant that we won't have to miss.

It won't be as good.  A lot of the flavor is baked into the old cookware.  Once they're in a new kitchen, it will taste a bit off.

Plus, who the fuck wants a condo at that location? Talk about a horrific place to live.

Au contraire, it's a very short walk to the Greyhound station (through the allegedly nonexistent homeless encampments).
