David's Barbecue
It's hard to beat genuine Texas barbecue. And within the league of
genuine Texas barbecue, it's pretty hard to beat David's. David's
Barbecue serves handcrafted barbecue by the pound and on sandwiches or
platters. Paired up with a variety of down home sides, including fried
okra (a personal favorite), onion rings, and fresh potato salad, David's
outstanding barbecue is a real treat.

Potager Cafe
Based on an unconventional business model, and fueled entirely by locally
sourced ingredients, the Potager Cafe is truly a one-of-a-kind establishment.
The Potager menu changes almost daily, depending on what can be sourced
from local farmers and ranchers at the time, and diners are encouraged
to pay what they think their meal to be worth – no set prices.
