This is really good food. There can often be a wait, so it's wise to make a reservation. The Sunday brunch is pricey and worth every penny. Again, make a reservation!

A little jaunt away, but this place is new and awesome. The beer is great. The atmosphere is fantastic. They're still having their growing pains and sometimes the kitchen can't keep up with the crowd. But it's going to be a rockin' place for a long time. Very Texas.

This is an amazing state park. For $15 a car, spend the day mountain biking on their extensive trails, rock climbing - some of the best in the state, hiking, fishing, swimming or playing on the beaches of the Pedernales river.
