Buffalo Grille | Houston, Texas | Menu

During Spring Break, we were all back home so we met up with Sissy in her area for breakfast at Buffalo Grille on March 13th.

Buffalo Grille | Houston, Texas | Chalkboard Menu

I don’t know what it is about chalkboard menus. They make me so happy. I want to have a chalkboard wall in my house in the future.

Buffalo Grille | Houston, Texas | Omelette

Build Your Own Omelet [3 eggs, bell pepper, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and sausage]

It starts off with three eggs and a side of bread for $3.60. Add $0.65 for each veggie and $0.95 for each meat, cheese, or sauce. Overall for me adding so much extras, the outcome was bland. If you’re trying to eat healthy, this is the place for you.

Buffalo Grille | Houston, Texas | Hashbrowns

Hashbrowns

Instead of the side of bread, I upgraded it to hashbrowns for a dollar. If you haven’t noticed my love for potatoes yet you must be new here. But my goodness, save your dollar. These were paper thin and dry. A butt-load of ketchup still made it hard to go down.

Sissy praised this place so much that I thought we just had high expectations but even she agreed that it was horrible this time. Maybe I’ll be nice and give it another go one day but … ugh.

Tammy came to visit on the 5th of March and we decided we wanted some crawfish. I was craving some good ole oyster nachos so we headed to Fish City Grill.

Fish City Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Oyster Nachos

Oyster Nachos [tortilla chips with fried oysters, chipotle tartar sauce & topped with fresh pico de gallo]

Mmm … if you aren’t sure of what to get, you have to get these for sure! They are an explosion in your mouth. I get it almost every single time I’m here.

Fish City Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Crawfish Bucket

This is the bucket they gave us for our crawfish trash. It smelled really metally.

Fish City Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Crawfish

Three Pounds Crawfish

Here is my 3 lb Crawfish. So delicious! They spice it up really well.

Fish City Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Corn & Potato

They also give you sides of potatoes and corn but they weren’t seasoned well like the crawfish.

I love this place for oyster nachos. A must try!

Jane’s parents invited me and Roger to lunch when they came into town and we ended up at Pasha Mediterranean Grill. My new favourite Mediterranean place.

Light, fluffy, ginormous Naan … for free! So freaking good.

Pasha Mediterranean Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Naan Dip

Oil, Herbs, Garlic

Fireworks in your mouth when you dip the delicious Naan into this mixture.

Pasha Mediterranean Grill | San Antonio, Texas | Lamb

Gyro Plate

Jane ordered for me since I didn’t know what to order. It came with beef and lamb, hummus, some kind of sauce, and a yummy salad on the side. So much food. So freaking good.

I love this place and would definitely come again. Just need to find someone to go with me. Who’s down?

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas

For Jane’s birthday she wanted to eat crawfish so on March 4th, we ended up at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. There was a super long wait and after we got to our table, we were told they sold out of crawfish. Bummer!

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas | Oysters

Texas Gulf Coast Oysters [on the half shell, dozen] | $9.95

The oysters were so itty-bitty. Not worth the amount I paid.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas | Fried Soft Shell Crab

Fried Soft Shell Crab [2 crabs served with french fries] | $17.95

I was also not a fan of the soft shell crabs. They were too soft to the point where everything was just soggy which made all the fries underneath soggy. I didn’t even eat a third of the fries. Wasted my money.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen | San Antonio, Texas | Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Garlic Mashed Potatoes | $3.55

Thank goodness I ordered the potatoes. I did have to add a lot of crawfish seasoning to it though.

I am starting to not want to go to Pappadeaux as much as I use to. Always a fail with them lately.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas

On February 23rd, Mercedes’ needed filming assistance for one of her class and afterward we decided to go to dinner at Lorenzo’s Italian Restaurant.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas |Garlic Bread

Garlic Bread | free

They kept refilling our garlic bread which was super fluffy and garlicky with a good crunch – first garlic bread I love. It was still good the next day!

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Salad

Italian Salad | comes with main dish

Their salads seem to be very fresh. Or maybe I was just very hungry.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Clam Chowder

Clam Chowder | $3.99

They give you a good portion of clams and it was super creamy. It was one of the best chowders I’ve had forever.

Lorenzo's Italian Restaurant | San Antonio, Texas | Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatball

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce with Meatball | ~$7

There was a lot of pasta and the meatball is the same as the meat in the sauce but since I had plenty of leftovers, I was fine with it.

The garlic bread is enough for me to come back.
