1. The Classic Texas BBQ Spot – Hipshots
If you’re looking for melt-in-your-mouth brisket, tender ribs, and smoky sausage, Hipshots BBQ is a must-visit. Pair your plate with classic sides like macaroni and cheese, and fresh banana pudding for the full Texas experience. We recommend the Boomtown Burrito, or the Calamity Jane.
2. Best Burger Joint – Onions
Known for juicy, made-to-order smash burgers, Onions is a local favorite. Try an Onion Burger, a double-patty cheeseburger with all the fixings, or go for their crispy onion rings and hand-made coconut cream pie. If it's cold outside, warm up with a Dawg Bowl! (Trust us on this one)

5. Hidden Gem – Julios Subs and Spuds
This small, no-frills sandwich shop serves up some of the best plates in town. Their fluffy loaded baked potatoes, flavorful sandwiches, and jalapeno popper soup are sure to leave you feeling FULL.
6. Best Pizza buffet – Jesse’s Pizza Co.
Whether you like your pizza loaded with toppings or prefer a simple, cheesy slice, Jesse’s Pizza Co. delivers. Try their signature Panhandle Supreme, loaded with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and bell peppers. We recommend the popper pizza.

9. Best Steakhouse – Texas Rose
When in Texas, a good steak is a must. Texas Rose Steakhouse offers perfectly grilled ribeye's, filet mignon, and prime rib, all served with classic sides like loaded mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. Don't pass up their pasta, though. They may not be Italian, but they can make a mean Jalapeno Cream Sauce!
