    Ah I did not know about the ratings. I used it several times each night I was there and had no problems. Fare is good I heard also.

    Still there as far as I know and definitely in the same tier as Mickle/LA

    I'd say just below them is:
    Terry Black
    Browns
    Stiles Switch

    Anyone ever been to the water park in Waco? And if so, any tips for taking a big group of ~12? Have heard it is BYOB and that if we were to take a few harmless joints there nobody would care.

    Spot on. But then that video that looked like a frat rush video and it went all over Facebook about this water park they built that has like the two giant slides and shit. And there's a big wake board cable park next to it.

    Idk our buddy and his wife are moving to Nola in 3 weeks and wanted to go there before they leave

    I have done the whole greenbelt trail a couple times and its awesome. Usually we go park a car at the top of the Hill of Life (where the trail ends) and then drive down to Barton Springs Pool (where it begins) and hike all the way through the trail to the top of the hill (the last quarter mile to the top of the hill kicks your ass) and then we have a car waiting there for us. Great hike. About 9 miles

    I'd check out Hamilton Pool as well. Cool little place.

    And no you don't need to get torchy's truck. Any of their locations will do.

    shit if i were coming here I'd say fuck the greenbelt and go somewhere like Wu suggested TheFreak55

    also: pedernales falls. can do a combination of Inks Lake Park + Longhorn Caverns they are both supposed to be awesome and pretty close to one another where you could do both in an afternoon.

    Went to Black's on Guadalupe. Was dece but nowhere near the best bbq I've ever had. Side game was kinda weak and the BBQ sauce selection was mediocre at best. Actually enjoyed my Whole Foods Bowie BBQ experience way more. Make fun of it all you want but that shit is for real. The pulled pork was great and the sides were on point. Chipotle cheddar grits and the mac and cheese were out of this world.

    barbeque is such a subjective ranking. whatever you think tastes best IMO

    Oskar Blues party tomorrow. I guess they hadn't been open to the public and don't even have their draft license yet.

    Details
    FuhCan eh! It's time to open our doors to the Tasty Weasel. We just couldn't wait around for draft-approval and we've got cans of FRESH TEXAS-BREWED Oskar Blues beer just waiting for y'all to come and drink it.

    We've got a rad new place and we wantcha to come check it out so we're tossing out cans on our front porch, you can sample some others inside and grab some sick OB merch, too.

    Come for specially-priced $3 cans of Dale's, Mama's Pils, Pinner and IPA and tastings BEERito. We'll be grilling up FREE FOOD: burgers (veggie ones, too), chips, water; and a DJ.

    It's a freakin' porch party at our new home in the ATX and you're invited.

    Bar Chi has a good sushi happy hour. WVU people may mistake that for bait though.

    Max's Wine Dive is a good option...or any food truck really.

    Trying to plan a trip in midish February, when my teacher GF has a Friday-Monday off. Austin is on a start list we're looking at, is there anything really going on in February? We're both very big into music, FWIW.
