Breakfast Burritos at James Connally AFB Golf Course in Waco, TX.  It was 30 years ago and my mouth still waters at the thought. 


How long until it went through you? :D

Sam, never had a problem with that...cast iron stomach I guess.  After golf, the chicken fried steak at Mitchell's restaurant was sublime.  I miss the "old Waco".

Does "old Waco" include that diner on the circle right off 35? I ate there once but more importantly there is now a Rudy's next door!

Fish tacos at the turn at Cabo - the concept grossed me out but the execution was perfection!!

Damn fish tacos!!!! Been trying to get rid of them for years but people like you just won't let them die a slow natural death.

Seriously though thank you, we get as many comments about the complimentary tacos (also beef and shrimp available) as we do the famed 17th hole!


Love our tacos but I'll go with the chicken salad sandwich at Greenbrier Old White snack house.

The fried chicken and french fries outside the locker room after you finish at Quail Hollow, not to mention the the jumbo shrimp and veggies in the locker room!

A couple of people are aware that Glen Oaks has the best dining among clubs in the US.  The lunch spread at Old Westbury is off the charts great.  Old Oaks has the best halfway house food in metro-NY.  Fresh Meadow, Alpine, and Mountain Ridge deserve coonsideration for awesome dining.  Friars Head seems to have the best regarded burger in metro-NY.  A very under the radar exceptional meal , that can easily hang with the best restaurants in metro-NY (highly Zagat rated)can be had at the dining room of Great Rock, a public course 3 or 4 miles west of Friars Head on Sound Ave.

Oh yeah - the homemade potato chips at Merion are fantastic too!

 The lunch spread at Old Westbury is off the charts great.  

Robert MD:

   Great call - Old Westbury.

Lunch?

What about the nightly spread put out for cocktail hour?

We went to the bar directly from the 18th in our sweaty Peter Millars, ordered gin and tonics which were served in glasses the size of paint cans and... started grazing.

I thought we were crashing a wedding.

Ice carvings, top quality sushi bar, carving station with a fresh turkey, Chateau Briand, and Virginia ham, 5 yard long cheese board with twenty or thirty different cheeses, delicious hot h'or doeuvres served continually by comely waitresses, fresh pasta chef serving three different types of pasta with a myriad of sauces prepared fresh, two different types of smoked salmon each the length of my 16 year old with all the sides, pastrami, cold cuts with EVERY type of bread/rolls imaginable, etc.

AND THIS IS SERVED EVERY NIGHT!!!!

AND THE MEMBERS DO NOT SIGN FOR ANY OF THIS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DRINKS!!

AND THEN THE MEMBER SAYS AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF," LET"S GO IN THE DINING ROOM FOR DINNER." :o


Old Westbury simply has no peer in this department!

A few years ago I played The Olde Farm with a founding member.  As many of your know, the club is first class in every way and provides an incredible experience from arrival to departure.

Before the round, my host was pleased to point out a basket of free apples in the clubhouse and encouraged me to take one.  I did, and ate it.  It was very good.

On the driving range, he brought another free apple and handed it to me.  I put it in my bag and ate it on the front nine.

During the round, we stopped in the massive barn/shelter (which must be seen to be believed) and he grabbed two more free apples for me from its kitchen, all the while continuing to extol the remarkable provision of such price-free fruit.  I ate that one one hole later.

Afterwards, in the clubhouse, he - you guessed it - pointed out and offered another free apple.  He was one of three members of the property that day, so inventory hadn't dipped much since we arrived.  I took one, plus one for the road.

As we were leaving after several glasses of sweet tea (and my fifth or sixth Golden Delicious), he asked what I thought.  I put my hand on his shoulder, smiled, and said "Bernie, those are the most expensive free apples I've ever eaten in my life."

Steve Lapper, Steve  Shaffer, Gene Greco & RMD,

Others are confusing a snack or single menu item or two for universally good food.

You get it.

Please educate the others.      ;D

A few years ago, at the USGA Senior Women's Amateur at Preakness Hills, the winner, in her award speech, thanked the Chef, highlighting and waxing poetic about how good the food was.  She was effusive in her praise and her comments weren't just casual remarks, it was an extended compliment.

When's the last time that a winner of a USGA event thanked the Chef ?

I was afraid this was going to be another thread that looked the part of elitist. Apparently it needs to go even more elitist to make the grade.

Both Connally AFB Golf Course and Mitchell's restaurant are gone now.  Mitchell's was a little greasy spoon down the road from McClennan Community College back in the day when MCC was a power in  Jr. College Golf.  Not acquainted with the diner on I35.

My granddad, bored after retiring, built a nine-holer on his 60-acre riverside property just out of Sydney. Nothing better than playing two afternoon loops with him as a kid, then wandering in, famished, to scoff whatever my grandma had cooked, but nothing ever beat her chicken chasseur or beef stroganof in volauvents, and nothing I have eaten since graduating to "real" golf courses is likely to.

Soup (any kind) and sandwich (any kind) at Western Gailes

Tomato soup at the halfway house at Turnberry (10+ years ago -- not even sure if the little shed is still there -- anyone know?)

I'm sure it is Sam.  I haven't been in Waco since the late 70's.....might be worth a trip for the BB if the little old Hispanic cook is still in the kitchen  ;D

I bet it's the same, the current muni is next door to the airport. I had no idea it was at one time an Air Force Base.

I have heard the most extraordinary things about the food at St. Charles in Canada.

A few people I know swear it's the best food they've ever eaten at a club.

Sadly I have not yet had the pleasure myself.
