Looking for best of the best here.

Cupps? Shorty's? Someone have a weekly special that students should know about?

Pete's Hamburger Inn on Speight- five hamburgers for a dollar on Sunday night.

El Chico on the Circle- cheese enchilada dinner for 95 cents on Wednesday night

KuKu Burger on 8th across from Collins Hall- 19 cent hamburgers every day.

The Black An(g)us on the Circle- Hungry BearSpecial. Half-price club steak on Sunday night.

Or at least that's the way I remember it . . .

Treff's used to have $2 Tuesdays...

Stranger, my introduction to the El Chico special, circa 1967, had the Wednesday special at $1.25. Urban myth had one BU guy as going regularly and when asked if he wanted the special his response was "I'll take TWO, thank you."

I got no hard evidence on that.

Highplains might.

My ownself and my friends would keep requesting the free chips and hot sauce. Finally after about four baskets the waitress would stop and demand, "are you boys going to order anything or just eat the free goods all night?". At that point we'd order the enchilada special.

Not at all claiming that any of this is great, but for the money:

Lunch specials at Valles on Valley Mills.
Tom's Burgers on Sanger.
Food for Thought on Speight.
George's lunch specials
Bari's lunch specials. As far as I'm concerned on quality, meh... but it's cheap.

2 breakfast tacos and water to drink at Lolitas is about 5$!

Good list so far. Shorty's 14" single topping on Sunday is $6. Georges lunch special with water is $7.00ish. Taco Tuesday at Rosa's (if you can stand waiting in line).

Krispy Chicken on Franklin you can get a 2 piece w/fries and a roll for $6.50, including tax (cash only. I always get a breast and a thigh, can barely eat all of it).

Solid strah-tee-ger-y!

cupps breakfast is 5.95 for eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast.

Taco Casa has 1,000 calories worth of bean burrito for under $3, iirc.

For the entirety of my Senior year the G was burned out in the sign. Will always be the name I think of. Sunday night Baylor Special was good.

George's has Wing Wednesday with half-price wing baskets

Jess Radles was excellent. Never more than $5

So, this is just another Denny's moment for me, but please tell me why a Waffle House wouldn't do great business across from Baylor University?

I've always been curious how WH hasn't worked its way into the Waco market, yet. They have locations in Dallas and Austin, so it seems like next to Bryan/ College Station, Waco would be the ideal expansion point for WH once the election passes and the pandemic with it...

The closest location to Waco is about 65 miles right now in Waxahachie.

Yeah, it's crap, but if you haven't been there in a long time, you kind of miss the place.

My old roommate used to bring home IHOP waitresses. Awful House waitresses would be a whole other level.

Wife and I first date about 41 years ago. Yes I was cheap and poor. We liked their enchilada plate.

Tragic that they removed that location and they remodeled Penland. These kids don't know what it was like stumbling over from your bathroom looking room at Penland at 4AM to get a chicken fried steak and a short stack after a night of "studying".

Before there was IHOP, there was Denny's .... could always meet interesting people there at those wee hours!!

We used to hit the IV about 2 in the morning and order the chili mac and watch drunk cowboys fight.

Yep. Prime Time in the IV was post Midnight . You could get in more trouble there than the beer joint ( or other social gathering) from whence you emanated !

Spoken like Brother Dave.

And don't forget Little Johns on deep La Salle.

The Hewitt location does not offer the crazy wing special or any other nightly specials til further notice. Lunch specials are still available.

And in the middle? There was Tanglewood Farms, my friends!!!

Health Camp is great: burgers are good, fries/onion rings are very good, & the shakes are excellent.

I still go once or twice a month for lunch, and agree but the frito pies have significantly declined in last decade

I've never tried the Frito Pies so I'll have to take your word for it. I only get to go when I'm in town for a football or basketball game.
