Good food south of the river?

Shaggy's used to be pretty good food at really cheap prices. You used to get an entire plate of hot jerked wings for under $5, but now you only get about half what they used to serve, and the entrees seem to have undergone similar downsizing/up-pricing. The service was pretty bad the last time I was there as well. A pity.

I also like Artz Rib House on S. Lamar The South Congress location of Arandas Polvos on S. 1st Java Noodles Rosie's Tamale House (mostly for sentimental reasons, i admit) -- Capitol Macintosh, Austin's Mac User Group -- TCP Port 3000: online.capmac.org -- or by modem +1.512.288.0992 (4 lines)

I loved that place when I was there a year or so ago, but we went back a couple of months ago after their "renovation" and we were very disappointed. The menu was cut way back. The really great things like the jerk chicken dinner and the coconut fried shrimp had been replaced by hamburgers. Lisa Frank in Austin wrote in message ... >Don't forget: >Shaggy's-(S.
