One of my first great restaurant experiences was a trip to the legendary San Jacinto Inn. Located in the shadow of the Battleship Texas, it was an all-you-can-eat extravaganza. The building we visited was built in 1927, and sadly closed its doors in 1987.
This video fondly recalls the restaurant, the staff, and the food. I'll never forget those amazing biscuits.
You're thinking of the Monument Inn. It's a (relative) newcomer that opened in the 70's. I always felt that it was something of a knock-off of the San Jacinto Inn.
I thought it was still open, right there at the Lynchburg Ferry landing?
ReplyDeleteIs it just a new owner/incarnation?

ReplyDeleteHmm, I was at the Monument inn in Feb 2012 and had a pretty good dinner there. Me and my girl split a plate. Pretty tasty.
