We love this place, this food and these owners! It’s a gourmet wine and cheese grocery with a tiny restaurant inside. The chef Julio is from Argentina and his partner Jerry is a first class sommelier. Call for reservations and tell them we said “Hi”!

We’ve witnessed a rivalry between those who think ‘In-n-Out’ burger is the best fast-food burger joint, and those who know the best drive-in burgers can be found at a Whataburger.

This great bbq place began as a local food truck, along with the best taco truck in town, Razas. They joined forces to create this casual bricks-and-mortar gem. Great bbq is easy to find in Texas, but this great bbq is just 5 minutes from the camper.

You actually have your pick from the plethora of great brew pubs, distilleries, and wineries in the area, but this is one of our favorites. They are actually nationally famous for their special cold vat fermenting process, and their pizza crust and sourdough bread are made from flour milled at a local granary. Picnic tables are spread out over sixty acres with trails and paths all over—perfect for natural and effortless social distancing.
