Back in the day when I was a kid, Rusty’s had a pretty dece burger and fries lunch combo for $1.01 as like a weekly promo with KRock or something. Used to get a cup of cheese on the side for fry dippage. Used to also give them a zany made-up name like “Keith” or “Bo Jackson” or something, so that whenever my food was ready they had to say that over the loudspeaker. I basically ran that place is what I’m saying.

I used to love waiting 2.5 hours for Gumby’s delivery too. Had to make sure I ordered it at most a level 2 or it would just sit out overnight.

I used to eat at Aggie Station at least five times a week. Sometimes I'd get dinner there and get something to-go for fourth meal after I hit a level 7. Place went downhill once ERII started running the kitchen

Radina's West has really turned that building/restaurant experience around.

No, are you confusing it with Taco Casa?

I was thinking there was a Taco Tico on Anderson where Chen's Chinese/Starbucks is now and a second across from the mall where that bank by Denny's is or somewhere around there.

Not sure I miss it, but Village Inn holds a bit of nostalgia for me.

I always liked the Wendy's across 3rd Street from Steel and Pipe and the lol old house that Steel and Pipe built their warehouse around.

Who's been to Vista lately? I saw it last December for the first time in ages and was like, "Holy crap, I can't believe that place is still open."

yes there absolutely was, it was not in the chen's location it was at the crest of that hill.

Once during lunch in high school, we were at the Taco Tico on Anderson eating our food and the manager came up and said, "you guys want ten tacos? Here." And handed over a bag with ten tacos in it.

I drive by it nearly daily since the construction on Manhattan Ave. Always has cars there.
