Best Nostalgic Homage With Great Chow

The Stallion

Whisper the word "Stallion" to some old Austin fogey and you'll witness wistful sighs and grown men cry. The old favorite is honored in the name of this new addition to the Airport road dining dash of decadance, as it brings the best of Southern fare with Southern flair to a strip peppered with working-class cuisine. And the new kid does the old namesake proud. Hands down, our fave of the weekly specials is the smothered chicken, but we can make a meal out of nothing but the sides (sweet cooked carrots, home-style green beans, and corn bread, oh yes).
