Since its 2001 debut, Harmon’s BBQ in Cibolo hasn’t just survived — it's earned accolades from local critics while also amassing a loyal following of regular customers. Open at 11 a.m. every day, Harmon’s offers lunch sandwiches with chopped brisket, pulled pork, or sausage, and in the lunch line you'll see everyone from locals on their lunch hour to travelers coming off I-35.

From Bubble Tea to Pad Thai: Noy’s Bistro

July 16, 2015 by

Creamy, chilly avocado tea flecked with tapioca bubbles. Pad garlic chicken seasoned with slightly spicy herbs. Noodle soup teeming with tender bits of beef. These are just a handful of the dishes you can devour at Noy's Bistro, a Universal City restaurant dedicated to serving only authentic Thai cuisine.

Each dish is as colorful as it is flavorful, so meals at Noy's Bistro serve as a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds. Start your meal with an appetizer like the chicken satay, served with peanut sauce and cucumber salad, or the deep-fried crab rangoons.

Noy’s Bistro: A Universal City Favorite for Authentic Thai Fare

June 25, 2015 by

The majority of Noy's Bistro's reviews on Yelp share the same sentiment: They all declare the Thai fare eatery as the best of its kind in the area. The popularity of Noy’s Bistro is attributed to a number of factors. For one, the spacious restaurant's ambiance is relaxed yet refined, equally suited to date-night dinners and business lunches. Second, the service is fast and amiable, and last — but certainly not least — is the food itself.

The menu at Noy's Bistro lists Thai fare prepared true to tradition, from the chicken satay and tom kha soup to the drunken noodles and the green curry (a crowd favorite here). Also receiving praise from returning diners is Noy's Bistro's menu of Chinese fare specialties, which includes kung pao chicken, General Tso's chicken, and fried rice. Wash it all down with a watermelon bubble tea, and be sure to leave room for the fried banana dessert, which pairs warm bananas with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream!

Bring a Big Appetite to Golden Corral in Universal City

April 23, 2015 by

Golden Corral has come a long way since its inception in 1973, when the first Golden Corral restaurant made its debut in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Since then, the restaurant has opened locations in more than 40 states across the U.S. Still, the focus of Golden Corral remains the same: offering diners "real, wholesome foods in a family-friendly atmosphere at a great value," per the restaurant's website.

Golden Corral fulfills this promise through its self-serve buffet, which offers a range of hot and cold items and takes center stage at each of the eatery's locations. Guests grab a tray, then make their way around the vast and varied buffet, scooping dishes onto their plate (or plates!) as they move along. These dishes typically include fried chicken, pizza, meatloaf, spaghetti, clam chowder, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green salads … the list goes on and on. For dessert, diners can choose between soft-serve ice cream, brownies, and banana pudding, or maybe a little bit of all three!

Treat Your Tastebuds to ‘Puffy’ Tacos at La Fiesta Patio Cafe

February 26, 2015 by

Relax after a long day at work with happy hour tacos and cervezas at La Fiesta Patio Cafe. The regular crispy tacos and soft tacos are both good, but this Universal City restaurant’s unique "puffy" tacos are even better. Regulars say you should definitely try this house specialty, which lands somewhere between crispy and soft tacos and uses masa to create a slightly crispy, bread-like wrap that is quickly deep fried into the shape of a taco shell.

If something lighter is more your style, try the grilled tilapia topped with salsa roja or the grilled chicken breast with queso and tortilla strips. For the value-minded, the restaurant's combination plates offer the best deal, as they generally include four entree items (like two tacos, a burrito, and an enchilada, for example) along with a side of rice and beans.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries: Munch on Peanuts at This Beloved Burger Joint

February 5, 2015 by

Five Guys Burgers and Fries offers the convenience of a fast food restaurant, but most regular customers would agree that the juicy burgers and crispy fries are of a much higher quality than the usual fast food fare. The chain's Live Oak location is decorated in Five Guy’s signature red and white checkerboard pattern, and it hosts the usual barrel of peanuts by the door that guests can snack on while waiting for their food to arrive.

Five Guys’ menu consists of all-American fare classics like cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and spicy fries, and everything is entirely made to order with a wide variety of toppings from which to choose. The state-of-the-art soda fountain is also a unique perk, as it enables you to mix your choice of sodas on a digital touch screen.

Whether you choose to have a casual lunch in the restaurant or take your burgers to-go, you'll likely find that Five Guys Burgers and Fries is a delicious and affordable indulgence.
