Easily the best burger I have had in years. We had the bacon, avocado burger. The service was…read morereally good as well. Was it the cheapest burger in town? No. But, it was worth the price, and food prices have gone up for all of us, and for the size of the burger I found the prices to be reasonable.

From Chicago, recently moved to Kyle, and so I stopped in for dinner. Here are my thoughts:…read more There are a few things you can always count on at CFA, and this one in Kyle is no exception. -First, the service is always friendly, courteous, and attentive. -Second, your food always comes out quickly. It is truly fast food. -Third, your food always comes out hot--including waffle fries and chicken sandwich. -Fourth, the food quality is incredibly consistent from store to store. You know what you're going to get. -Fifth, the restaurant and bathroom are always clean. Here are a couple of things I didn't expect... -They have a "new" (to me) drink called Sunjoy Tea, which has a lemony flavor like an Arnold Palmer. Loved it! -They also had automatic opening garbage cans, very convenient when you're leaving and your hands are full. Highly recommended!!

Staff was friendly enough for fast food but subpar for CFA…read more The interior is clean, but the play place and bathrooms are not. High chairs were not wiped out. During the dinner rush, there was not a feee table in sight. This is to be expected for the popular chain. However, 4 tables had staff. 3 were single employees eating. Understandable that you want to enjoy your break, but maybe double up during peak hours. The fourth table was some sort of staff meeting of giggling management types in button ups. I'm sure they were going over serious matters and staffing, but again, read the room and open up space for customers. Came two days in a row since it's too cold for the little one at the park . Spills and food in the play place were there both days.

Mama Ninfa Laurenzo. If you don't know who that is let me explain. Her restaurant Ninfa's started…read morethe fajita craze in Houston. Eventually, expanding into basically copy cat restaurants. Lupe Tortilla is one of those restaurants. I'm not saying it's a bad thing as one of my personal favorites (Pappacito's) holds this same designation. Over the years I been to Lupe but haven't been overly impressed. A few happy hours; some lunches. It's pricey Tex-Mex. Lupe opened a new outlet recently in Kyle and instead of waiting for tires in a lobby we ride shared just down the road for lunch. New digs are nice; competition in this area will be stiff. It already killed off Austin fave Z' Tejas. I've never gotten the complimentary beans served with the chips and salsa. I personally don't need any more beans than what's served with my entree. Wife liked it though; she's a bean whore. Bloody Mary ordered; it's like an appetizer! Her taco salad was artfully presented. I'd still want the traditional fried tortilla bowl. I opted for the beef fajita and shrimp fajitas. This is where my favorite mentioned about easily stands above Lupe Tortilla. Well done meat versus beautiful medium rare goodness. Beef fajita meat doesn't have to be well done y'all. I literally could tag nearly every Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas at this point. Back to the dish this time concentrating on the seafood aspect. The shrimp were nicely cooked but red pepper butter? Fave copycat restaurant serves their shrimp with the most amazing frothy garlic butter. Diablo and the bacon wrapped version. Lupe isn't bad but there are better options. For this visit, including my dessert of a tequila shot. May not be my favorite but it was upscale fare.

From Chicago, in Austin for the week. First night we stopped by Lupe, based on a recommendation…read more -The place was packed on a Friday night. Service was good and very friendly. Very pleasant ambiance. -They brought out chips and salsa. The chips looked and tasted like they just came out of a bag : ) -We ordered fajitas to share. Overall, pretty bland. Not a ton of taste. I did enjoy the green pepper! -If this is what they call "Tex-mex," I'm not really impressed. I cannot recommend.

Met my family for dinner at the Torchy"s Tacos location in Kyle, TX. The parking lot was full but…read morewas eventually able to find a spot. Placed my order using a kiosk to avoid waiting in line. You can pay and assign a buzzer that lets you know when your food order is ready. I ended up ordering the bonfire bowl with salmon as the protein. The bowl included Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans, Spinach, Diced Mango, Pickled Onions & Jalapeños, Pistachios, and Avocado sauce. They brought my food to my table when ready. The bowl was a good portion size with 2 salmon filets. The salmon was seasoned well however there was a bone in one of the pieces. I loved the fresh mango and spinach. The rice was very flavorful but was a bit heavy. I was only able to eat half of the bowl and I was full and took the rest to go. We pushed two tables together in the dining area so members of our family could sit together. They had TVs playing sports and other funny clips for entertainment. Overall an enjoyable experience with good food and friendly service.

After three months of being in Texas I think Torchy's may still be my favorite eatery! The food is…read morealways cooked perfectly! The flavor is never lacking! And the price?! Can't beat it (outside a fast food joint). In fact I'm not ashamed to admit that during my first week here I ate from Torchy's twice in the same day! The staff are always professional, well kept, and prompt. Whether dining in or picking up they ensure that every customer is attended to just the same - and they do so with such an epic smile! From grill, to plate, to table - Torchy's Kyle doesn't miss a beat! The big seller for me? The outdoor patio! And, I might have been seeing things, but dare I say they allow your fur-baby to dine with you on the patio?! Always a huge win in my book!

That changed when I lived in Kansas City; a place called Oklahoma Joes (changed to Joes KS) BBQ operated out of a gas station. It's one of the best places in the nation for BBQ, so with that knowledge and hungry for a decent chicken sandwich, I considered the new Sharks inside the gas station which just went up less than a mile from my house. In short, WOW, I'm literally shocked! I googled "fast food chicken sandwiches" and none of the suggestions that came up appealed to me as they've always been horrible. So, I thought, let me see some yelp reviews on Sharks Burgers. After seeing consistently high marks on burgers, I decided to try both. Before I go on, please note Sharks is inside of the Valero gas station right off of 35 across the freeway from Costco. The place is extremely clean, in a safe part of town and the employees are very nice. On the website I decided to build my own chicken sandwich and I'll mention they didn't have an option to double up cheese so I put it in the notes and it was added! I added mayo, ketchup, Swiss x2, grilled onions and mushrooms, lettuce and tomatoes. The chicken was slightly thicker than I anticipated while being moist and not overcooked. I think they could have added a touch more onions and mushrooms otherwise it was great. Plus, it has juices oozing out that got the bun soggy and I had no issues with that. The major gripe I had with both sandwiches is they didn't core the tomato so I gnawed on a big chunk of core, yuck. I decided to munch on my fresh tots which were pipping hot while dipping them in their shark sauce. I didn't like the shark sauce as I hate buffalo sauce which was the dominate flavor. My final item was the blue cheese burger. The beef was cooked perfectly and as with the chicken sandwich the bun was perfect but there could have been thicker and more slices of avocado. Otherwise, it's a well-balanced little burger with the blue cheese adding the funk to set it aside. To quote Pulp Fiction, it was a tasty burger (fyi - please add a big kahuna burger to the menu as I would be a regular). Overall, I was shocked about how much better Sharks food is over competing fast food restaurants. The meat is thicker and juicier, they have more interesting combinations and they food was straight from the kitchen, not under some heat lamp. I'd rank them almost on par with the "gourmet" burger shops like (4+1 gentlemen) and (extremely excellent) burgers (I hope you can figure out the cryptic message). I'll be back soon to indulge in Sharks offerings and if you're like I was, on the fence; get off and give it a try, you won't regret it.
