This review is for the China Palace restaurant in San Marcos. Texas. This is the one on Bugg Lane, near Dairy Queen and Half Price Books.
This restaurant used to be so good when it first opened. The food was always hot. The servers were friendly. Now, this is a different story.
The restaurant closes at 930pm. But if you go after 8pm, you will get old food. And they let the food run out. Once it is gone, it is going to stay gone. They do not replenish food after 8pm. You will find half of the meat trays empty. The only things left are the old things that nobody has wanted to eat. It is so ridiculous.
Another problem is that nobody there speaks english at all. From the hostess to the waiters to the manager. Nobody has any idea what you are saying. This would be fine if there was at least 1 or 2 people there who have contact with customers who can actually talk to you! It drives me crazy every time.
I think a new manager or two is needed. Someone who is fluent (I mean really fluent) in english and who understands customer service. Perhaps a college graduate or just an experienced manager who speaks both languages. The people there are more interested in sitting down to eat themselves than serving drinks or checking on customers.
Please, please get some new management! Keep food in the trays! Try to please your customers!
We are not going back. We used to go regularly. But after two trips after 8pm that were horrible, NEVER AGAIN.

Steak n Shake in Southpark Meadows
I have 3 kids that love to eat. Problem is, none of them agree about where to go or what type of food they want to eat. Steak n Shake has something for everyone. Chicken, grilled cheese, fish and great burgers are all served up every day.
I had to put in a review of this business as we had 5 people eat, drink and get stuffed at Steak n Shake for $30!! This is unheard of! What a great price! And I need to say that we only had one kids meal. The rest were regular, adult meals. I expected the bill to be over $40. But it wasn't. We will be back.
We also had a great waiter, I wish I could remember his name. But, nevertheless, he was very kind.
On a side note, a couple of years ago when I had only two kids, we went to this same Steak n Shake at about 8pm. At the next table were two older men. They walked over and did a few magic tricks for my daughters. Great ones. We still haven't figured out how they did what they did. And they gave bracelets to my girls that were metal and solid...yet seconds before were bending like soft rubber. Amazing. They told us they had just come from a show where they had performed. My girls still talk about them.

Need a Tow in Austin?
Are you looking for a towing company in Austin? Nobody wants to have to use one, but if you do I know who you should call! This company was recommended to me by a friend because I truly had no idea where I should go. I don't like to deal with things like this...but I had no choice.
I called Harpers and had a great experience. Well, as great as spending money I didn't want to spend on a tow can get. Although not chatty, the driver was pleasant. I felt like he knew what he was doing. But the equipment was top-notch! And I didn't have damage to my car. Everything went as they said it would. Need a tow in Austin? Check out Harpers at http://www.harpers-towing.com or call 512-443-1000.
You will get what they say you will get and there won't be any surprises.
