Midland?

[Gale Snoats 242]

Searched and didn’t see a thread. Have to be there for a few nights soon and would like to eat really well both nights.

 

Any recs?

[Hank Scorpio 17,729]

Honestly, no. 

[Gale Snoats 242]

Honestly, no. 

No surprise that a sophisticate from the big city has no knowledge of Permian basin

Sadly, the closest Allsups is in Andrews.  It's only a 50 minute drive, I recommend it.

Also, one of the few remaining Pizza Inns is in Big Spring, only a 40 minute drive.  By my childhood recollection, Pizza Inn's product was often preferable to Pizza Hut's, so I urge you to check it out.

But, glory be, I see that there is a Godfather's in Midland. I am not afraid to tell you that when it came to our neighborhood in Houston around 1980, we proclaimed it the king of pizza.  Go, if you feel like indulging yourself and ruining all other pizzas from that day forward.

There has to be somebody putting out a decent CFS or cheese enchilada plate.

Venezia in Midland is pretty good Italian and they have the best wine list in W Texas. Cork & Pig in Odessa or if they’re full go next door to the Red Oak Kitchen (same kitchen).

Dude, there are two Pizza Inns in Carlsbad, NM.   They aren't as rare as you think.

They are rare in actual cities.  In Texas, they are in places like Midlothian, North Zulch, and Winnsboro.  And how could I forget Anahuac!

Last time I had Pizza Inn was in Texarkana circa 2008.  Buffet.  My memory tells me it was pretty good.  I had no idea they still existed.  If I saw one on the road I would stop.

Several Pizza Inns in the DFW area. They aren't gone yet. Thin crust isn't like it used to be. But, it's still ok.

There’s no Pizza Inn scarcity. There are several locations in Houston. Most notably, there’s one near Karbach on Magnum.

El Banquete on Rankin Hwy.  Fajita enchiladas with fried eggs on top.  Their salsa is for real.   

[billfromlaketravis 11,447]

Clear Springs is solid if you like fried food served with goofy shit all over the walls. There’s a Texas Roadhouse as well.

The only thing I remotely miss is a solid Rosa’s location by the hospital, and the breakfast burritos at JumBurritos. 
 

Dining wise it’s pretty similar to your College Station and Waco’s of the world. Don’t overthink it and you won’t be disappointed.

Everyone in this thread is wrong

 

Brantley Creek BBQ and Midland Meat Co.

 

youre welcome

[landman 559]

If Price's BBQ was still around, that would be the place to go.  

But Wall Street and The Bar (not just a bar, but good food). 

[thrillhammer 683]

i'm certain there is a midland thread already.  wall st is excellent.  garlic press was always great, but not sure if its still around.  there was a black-owned bbq joint i liked but cant remember the name of it.  mexican food abounds and is good at even the divey casual places.  i believe they call breakfast tacos burritos there, but get a pass because they're all pretty good.
