Ok, so I get it, the building is older, not fancy, it lacks a little....BUT it is some of the best seafood (next to being at the bay eating it fresh). Amazing shrimp (huge), great fried catfish, love those hush puppies. They also have food for non seafood lovers.

Ok , so they don’t even have a picture that auto shows up, maybe because Carmine is, well... small?
But if your ANTIQUEING, go visit Moore’s they are on the corner, (well the fork)- yes the only corner or fork there is, it’s actually the extent of the town (ahaha), more cows than people!!
But if you go to ROUND TOP, just drive the 5 more minutes.

Paige, is on the Antique trail so to speak, the trail for me starts in SMITHVILLE, winds to Lagrange, then to Round Top, (pit stops along the way) to Carmine, the Paige Texas.
Antiques all over in cool stores, where the vendors, store owners become friends of yours!!
Paige has about 4 or 5, maybe 6 stores, all on highway 290.. Paige if you did a straight shot from PLUM, is maybe 30 minutes, bit when you Antique and stop along the way, before you know it, you just spend 5 hrs looking at “dead people’s stuff” (well it’s true)...

Wine cocktails
Great spot in Smithville, about 15 min from the house in Plum. Great ambience, stylish English style pub, great cocktails, margaritas and wine selection (for a small town outside the big city!). They also have a great chef, nightly specials, so check on FB, note the dinner specials sometimes sell out, so go early!
If you like sweet wine, you will love Meade - it’s great here, it’s a small venue, but great outdoor spaces to sit, relax and enjoy!! Plus they have more selections and tastings too... but their Meade is what they are known for!
