Jake's opened and expanded Sports Bar concept in Lake Highlands on the NW corner of NW Highway and Plano Rd. Lots of screens. A couple of pinball machines. Old-school Jake's drive-in burger augmented with a second beef patty. Fried shrooms good. Sweet potato fried good. Within a reasonable flight path from campus and a gem for PonyFans living on the E side of White Rock.

Nice! Gonna have to check that out. Guess that’s where they put their resources after the Henderson Jakes closed.

Try the burger at Thirsty Lion (75 and Walnut Hill). You might want to wipe down the bun with a napkin, as it is served a little slimy, but the burger itself is really good, with a good smoke/charcoal taste (even though I don't think it's grilled).

The fries are average, at best, but I'd do the burger again in a heartbeat.

Made a well-deserved trip to Hillcrest Burger House last week. Even with all the foo-foo burgers, it's still the best.

I'll never understand why some people like that place so much. It's OK, but only OK. Just never did anything for me.

Went looking for Grub the other day (Greenville Ave.), only to find out it had been replaced a year ago by something called Brass Tap. I was hungry, so I stopped in.
Don't waste your time. The burger is not inedible, but it lacks any flavor at all, and you'll need a towel to get the grease off your hands and arms. Fries were mediocre (seriously overcooked), too.
