Food scene

Honestly the best BBQ and worth the wait. Get in line early and pack beverages while you wait. It’s a destination! Serving starts at 11:00 (lunch only) but the line forms early 7:00 am (walk to). Closed on Mondays. Can also order on-line ahead and pick up sliced BBQ by the pound (brisket is to die for).

Austin’s go-to Mexican restaurant where the fajitas and frozen margaritas stand out among the crowd. Try the Bob Armstrong queso. If you are watching sugar intake, they have one of the best skinny frozen margaritas in town. We have been enjoying Matt’s for 30 years even used to shake hands with Matt Martinez Sr. They have an excellent large outdoor patio and bar with an excellent wait staff. Lately, the lines have been long to get a table, so you may want to call ahead to understand the wait - definitely worth the wait for the Tex-mex & margs.
