Japanese "Texan" izakaya Tako sunomono was my favorite - the octopus was more tender than usual Japanese restaurants. The fried rice ball, street corn, soft shell crab, Hot Pocketz (with Gouda cheese and brisket) are recommended. No need to order the Tamale (sticky rice with beef tongue) and chicken meat ball - both ok, nothing to write home about.

pork belly, chicken karage, and fried beets was great as was the spicy chicken karage (Thai style). The beets had good texture and subtle flavor. Could do without the aioli. Too many ants on the picnic table.

farm to table quite possibly the best gourmet I've ever had. The the texture of the corn tostada, the sponge-ness of the buns, and the creaminess of the sauce was awesome. . Please note this burger is only served at lunch M-F.

One of Texas Monthly's top 50 BBQ 2017 - . Outstanding Beef Ribs, spicy sausage, corn casserole, and coleslaw. The mustard was great with the sausage. But the brisket was a bit dry and the baby back ribs were adequate.
