Sorry, no offense to the locals but your food choices suck. Aside from bbq, asian, and mexican, there's not too much tasty or original food here, mostly chains.




Hate to say it, but if all you have found are chains, you aren't gettin' out enough. The state is full of great "Country Cookin" establishemnts that have been making Texas bikers full and happy for years!!!

Simply Country Cafe , Moss Hill, Tx- Great home cooking, and right in your backyard. They have a huge selection of pies that varies depending on the mood of cook each day. Go there- bring your friends.

Old Gallatin Store- Gallatin, TX- A real "hole in the wall" sitting in the middle of some great roads. Good home cooking.

The Shed Cafe- Edom, Tx, One of the best country cooking joints in the state (if not THE best). The pie selection is unreal- save room for a couple of pieces. A little farther North, but it's an easy lunch ride from Houston. The roads up there will make you grin as well...

The Hilltop Cafe- Fredericksburg, TX, Country cooking with a greek twist (sounds strange, but it's GOOD!). It's in the heart of the hill country, and can be done as a lunch ride from Houston (I know this for a fact, I met some friends from Houston/Galveston here for lunch!).

Koffee Kup- Hico, Tx- OK this one makes for a long days ride for lunch, but it has the BEST pie in the state hands down. Met the same friends from Houston here for lunch, so its possible as a day ride (but those guys are a little off kilter if you know what I mean...)

Also, don't forget the great food 2 hours east of you!

Steamboat Bills Seafood- Right off of I-10 in Lake Charles, LA- GREAT Acadiana Cookin'! The fried boudin is a specialty of of SW Louisiana, and Bill's is the best.

Great food is all around you, but you have to get out there and find it!!! Pick a Saturday, and a restaurant and I'll meet you there for lunch!!!

Learning from my mistakes... again and again.
