Last week, we brought you just a few of the city's worst restaurants according to reddit users. Let's start the week off by being positive. Thanks to OldDickLemon for creating the thread. Here's a sampling of restaurants SA Redditors love:
My bests:Burger- Cured. Get the triple, let the grease drip down your arm, and savor every bite.
Italian- Il Sogno
Brunch- Wish I could pick just one. I've had amazing brunches here. Feast, Boiler House, and Fruiteria come to mind. (I'm gonna come out and say it- Magnolia Pancake House is not worth the wait)
Outside Dining- The Luxury and The Cove
Pizza- Florio's, Barbaro
Breakfast Tacos- Original Donut Shop
I wish I had a favorite Food Truck. I haven't had anything that's blown me away yet. Still need to try Rickshaw Stop and Say She Ate, though.–mollysimmons73
My favorites:Thai Dee, Pho Kim Long, Main street Pizza, Dough, Bigz, The Monterey, Osaka sushi, Augies BBQ, Texas de Brazil–OldDickLemon
Try Guillermo's for pizza and pasta. They are just north of down town. Great patio and bar, and good Italian American food. No delivery, but you can have a beer on the patio while you wait.–glasnostic
Serious up vote for Augie's. I work just up St Mary's at the Zoo, and a combo pulled pork/jalapeño sausage sandwich with a double side of their FANTASTIC green beans is a pay day regular.–retro_70s
Los Robertos, Guajillos, Armadillos, Taqueria Aguas Calientes, Taqueria Data Point, Bite Bistro, Bigz, Panchitos, Sapporo, Pasha, Scuzzis.–Rob_Ross
Mexican seafood - El Siete Mares.-Danbal1
Restaurant Gwendolyn and Kimura hands down.–TheWiseDevil
Local places I like to get food from are-Wrigleyville, All Aboard Deli, Teka Molino, Thai Dee, Florio's, Gorditas Dona Tota Authentic, Chicago's Pizza, Dough, El Milagrito, Augie's, El Charro, W.D. Deli, Olgitas Molino, Guero's Taco Diner, Tycoon Flat's. I just have to add this, I miss the chili cheese fries they made in the '90s, though. The new ones are close but not the same. They're still really good and you should try them out if you haven't.
That's all I can think of right now.
edit: Damn, I like a lot of pizza, sandwiches and tacos.–Thats_Puffin_Talk
There is a lot...For burgers- Big Bob's or RD's or Candies
For Mediterranean- Zorba's
For Indian- India Oven
For BBQ- Two Bros
And that seems to be it for me, obviously I eat too many hamburgers.–deadtex
Magnolia pancake Haus: if you get there when the wait isn't that bad, it's heaven for your tastebuds. However, it is really hard to get there without the wait. The location by Heubner and Resesrch is much better as far as the wait goes.–idiotimmortal
Dumplings via Tang Street
Authentic Chinese:
281: Tang St (http://tangst.com/) - be sure to order from the Chinese menu

Bacon cheeseburger via Fattboy Burgers.
Fattboy, Florio's, Magnolia Pancake Haus, Taqueria Datapoint, Jacala, Dough–ForIvadell
Taqueria Datapoint (everyone seems to agree.) Demos for Mediterranean Guajillos for some cold Margaritas and incredible salsa. Taipei on West and NW Military (Stone Oak one is gross) Fralos for a great pizza and date night. Sarikas on Medical and Fredricksburg for some heavenly Pad Thai.And my underrated pick, Finlys Chick-N-Rib near UTSA. Friendly staff, overloaded me with fries, and the meat was cooked very well.–mrbungle821
Thai chili on Thousand Oaks has the best pad thai I've ever had–tadmau5
Green Vegetarian Cusine... the one at Alon though.–bacaowismyhero
