Reliable lunch and dinner option with a delightful outside patio. Especially good with their Greek dishes (like the grilled lamb chops) and their dessert options (white chocolate bread pudding). As an aside, their Austin cream pie is, in fact, a chocolate cake with creamy layers, and one that should be tried.

A perfect place for ladies who lunch, but the desserts are so good that the men are willing to navigate the chicken salad plate, too. Do not miss the buttermilk pie. Try the one with coconut baked on top, too. While you’re at it, throw in a slice of Italian cream cake.

Iconic local joint with food that everyone loves; a favorite of former president George Bush, country singer Pat Green, and a host of other international figures. Order at least one round of crazy wings-a morsel of chicken breast and pepper-jack cheese wrapped in chopped jalapeno and a slice of bacon, and then deep fried.
