Gone but not forgotten in San Antonio!

Has the food at Tip Top changed any? Do the fried onions still come to the table as a block?
Something else I miss every Christmas season is Fantasy Land at the old Joskes downtown. That was always a mom and dad event.
Oh and the milk jug luminarios in Windcrest.

Here is a good one, in 1954 or 55. My dad would put ice in the swamp cooler and tin foil on the TV antennas to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still.

The food is still Tip Top. There is one one of the original waitresses left. I really wish they would update the place a little or build a second location.

Does anyone remember the Tee Pee restaurant on Austin Hwy?Delicious steaks that were so big they did not fit on the serving platter and the buttermilk homemade biscuits to sop up the steak juices... how come they don't make steak restaurants like that anymore?

They had several tee pees on the premises (not authentic).

Absolutely! Along with Big John's Steak House a short zig-zag away from the Tee Pee. Awesome steaks and ambience at both restaurants.
