Packed parking lot at 11:15 am at a cinder block building. Order the specials.

A wonderful wood smoke smell of BBQ from five miles away. "Can I see your pit?" "Come on city boy and see how it should be done...have a taste and a rib."

Please add.

    Hard for me to put a finger on it; sometimes it's just a feel. But, probably most of the places that caught my eye look "rustic", but clean.

    A lot of cars is a good sign, but then again, McDonald's and Taco Bell always have lots of cars...

      Reminds me of a place that Bushie took me to out east of Roundrock. They give you a taste of beef before you buy.

      Always entices me.

        A long line - with people smiling at each other while they wait.

        Food from any country whose cuisine I have never tried.

        If it is in a place that looks like a house, or is, a converted house.

        Wooden buildings.

        Everyone who works there is overweight.

        It is packed, and all the other restaurants are empty.

        I am still a sucker for words like "Mom's" "Aunt Sally's" "Best" and "Famous".

        A sign advertising that it has been in business since anytime before 1970.

        Harleys, pickups, or police cars parked out front.
