    My wife was a native Texan, I got there as soon as I could, lol. She turned me on to this show and I have loved it from the first time I saw it. My wife passed away on December 17 2014 and every episode I watch of this it reminds me of Saturday morning with coffee and biscuits watching this show together. Great memories and a great show. Love how this family stayed together and follows their dream. Blessings

    Born in '53 and raised in Corpus, my family moved to Markins Drive in'59 and our backyard was against Weber Road. I could hop the fence and walk there in a few minutes. What a great memory. Glad to see it's still there!

    I grew up going to Snapka’s Drive In. Tacos, enchiladas, and of course hamburgers and onion rings. A lot of times it was just for a Coke and some canoodling with a current boyfriend. There was a lot of that going on in those cars on date nights. Those were definitely the days.

    The negative comments about the hamburger patties are rude and illiterate. Commercial kitchen suppliers can sell you a pattie press in which a ball of fresh hamburger is placed and pressed for uniformity . They leave the same marks and size and thickness on every pattie . I would gladly eat a burger there everyday if it were not half way across Texas from me ... Good show, TCR...
