    Lived in Corpus for 30 years. Married a beautiful South Texan. I’ve never been to Snapka’s. Watching this story of a true family love story, I’m heading out to get a Dixie Burger. Thank you for reporting this story!

    What a nice lady and a fabulous story. I love visiting Texas. It reminds me of a lot of my home state of Tennessee so I feel at home there. I wish people were still nice and honest but we live in a different world now. Anyway, loved this video

    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

    When I lived in Corpus Christi, I would take the 27 (Leopard Street bus route) and I always got their tacos and fries. Snapka’s is really homey and very simple from a culinary standpoint. Awesome food.

  • @sandracastle42
    @sandracastle42 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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...
