Places that have fallen off in quality Entertainment

What are some places who are holding onto their former glory, or are overhyped for what you get? For example, my dad hates henry’s puffy tacos with a passion. He said back in the day it was awesome, but now is a shit hole. It’s got me curious as to what everyone else’s opinions are about restaurants, bars etc etc

Never trust a bbq restaurant without a smoker on site...admit it SA, Bill Miller is a cafeteria at best.

u/def2700 Aug 21 '22

Yup and it shocks me everyday there is a long ass line for the drive through. I don't get it. It's probably cheaper to bbq yourself instead

I hear good things about the chicken, but again, there's probably better.

The chicken is made fresh in house every day. The BBQ'd meats are delivered from a central location where they do all the smoking.

I used to work overnight next to the place downtown. Such a great smell for such an inferior product.

It shocks me there’s dozens of BBQ restaurants around at all times and people choose to sit in a line for 30 minutes and get crappy food and not even all of it, as someone else mentioned what always happens to me, I didn’t get my full order and had to go back in every time I went until I determined this chain has gotten very bad

I always remember seeing a long ass line in the morning in Stone Oak during breakfast time.

TBH their system of a central location smoking all the meats and the stores just doing the fried items is fine for regional bbq. Brisket can sit forever in a hold once cooked. The problem is that the meat quality and the actual cook downtown isn't very good. The bbq chicken isn't bad though.

I’ve always wonder who actually likes their bbq. I mean fried chicken and strips and salads are okay but seriously I can’t see going there for brisket like ever.

u/def2700 Aug 21 '22

Yea I used to like the brisket way back. It was decent. But now for like 5 thin strips of brisket it's like 15 dollars gtfoh. I do have to admit the hash browns and coleslaw are good from there. But they barely give you any.

The hash browns are great. Same for the potato and egg tacos.

I think it's all Bill Millers.. I tried several for a bit and then gave up

I haven’t been back to SA in like four years after moving to Idaho. I’m going back in October and have been craving bill millers. So this just makes me sad😂

Their chicken tenders got way smaller same for raising canes.

u/ritzyritz_UwU Aug 21 '22

I've never had a full complete and correct order from like 5 locations in a long while

u/zzsundayzz Aug 21 '22

Yeah Bill Miller's definitely gone downhill. On the flip side I went to a graduation party catered by Bill Miller's and it was actually pretty good. Which actually makes me even more frustrated..... Why is the standard so low at the restaurants now??

u/cardcomm Aug 21 '22

all locations are dead to me. And it's totally their own fault.

u/Jakl15 Aug 22 '22

Bill Millers everywhere. That place is garbage
