Housed in the old post office, MacAdoos has retained some of the original architecture which gives it its charm. Great patio for eating and listening to live music when they have it. Good seafood with options for land lovers. Their shrimp Brochette is my personal favorite. Brunch is served on the weekends.

You can't see it from the street because it is tucked behind Duckworth Violin and Clay Casa. Huisache Grill offers a unique dining experience featuring contemporary cuisine with fresh regional ingredients. It also has an extensive beer and wine list. One of the local's favorites.

One of the most iconic restaurants in town, the Gristmill overlooks the Guadalupe River and serves generous portions of good food. You can't miss it. Just head for the water tower in Gruene. If you like baby back ribs you won't be disappointed!

Great place for beer lovers with over 25 craft beers on tap. The food is good too! The large outdoor patio is popular with the locals and there is often live music. Parking lot can be tough to find a space so you may have to park on a side street.

Drinks & Nightlife

Housed in an old chili factory it makes sense that they do offer chili from mild to hot. If you order the "Killer" chili you have to sign a waiver. The mild is hot enough for me! Great corn bread too. Live music and an old baseball pinball machine.

Mozie's is more than a bar though it does have a really long bar and lots of TV's for the sports minded. Great food in the heart of Gruene right across from Gruene Hall.

This is the oldest, continuous running dance hall (with bar) in Texas. Many country western stars, like George Strait, have played there. Saturday nights you usually have to buy tickets but there is music every day and most of it is free!

Parks & Nature

Landa Park offers picnic facilities under the shade of giant, ancient oak trees. Walk or jog on the parks special trails, or ride a miniature train that chugs around the 51 acre park. An excursion on a paddle boat is one of the best ways to see the Comal Springs and Landa Lake. Why not take in a round of miniature golf, relax at the playground or enjoy the flora and fauna on the Panther Canyon Nature Trail?

The Canyon Lake Gorge was created after a flood in 2002. It can only be accessed by taking a tour. The tour lasts 3 hours and is worth the time! You must make a reservation ahead of time. Best enjoyed if the weather isn't too hot since you are outdoors. Should do this at least once.
