Food scene
Fantastic little co-op grocery store. This is like the farmers market everyday. Lots of local farm products along with all the essential groceries and self care items you may need at your Airbnb. It is walkable from most of my vacation rentals in town. Real food. Real community.

Very special restaurant for great steaks and seafood. This is one of my favorites and has a real old west feel. You need a reservation however, if it’s not a busy night you can sit at the bar. The cocktails are top notch and the bar tender is very nice. My favorite is to share a steak, and add a bunch of sides, like asparagus! And lobster.
Love this restaurant.

Kids activities!
This is a great play stop on the River Trail. There is a large playground and you can play along the river. In high water season you will see kayakers “surfing” the rapids. You can walk south to the Serious Texas BBQ. Maybe one mile down for lunch.
