Joseph’s Riverport BBQ
Joseph’s Riverport BBQ 201 N Polk St Jefferson, TX 75657 Jefferson is a real gem of a place. This small East Texas town is a beautifully preserved collection of historic shopfronts and Victorian mansions, having been a major port for the steamboats from New Orleans in...
The Frisco
The Frisco 6801 Burnet Rd Austin, TX 78757 Every now and again, I stumble upon a real gem of a place. I’m not saying that I’m Columbus when discovering eateries, but sometimes there are places that have been around for eons and just haven’t made...
The Goodnight
The Goodnight 2700 W Anderson Ln Austin, TX 78757 It’s extremely difficult to write up The Goodnight without any reference to The Highball, considering they are both bar/lounges serving food, with bowling alleys and karaoke rooms. The main difference is, The Goodnight is still around (as...

Abel’s On The Lake
Abel’s on The Lake 3826 Lake Austin Blvd Austin, TX 78703 I was getting ready to put the Urbanspoon link into this post when I saw a user post reviewing Abel’s. The title simply said “Pretty View, Regular Food”, and I thought “wow, I couldn’t have put...
Season(ed) greetings
Ahhh Christmas. I don’t know if I’d call it the most wonderful time of the year. That’s reserved for the beginning of football season (gridiron not AFL). But, it is time yet again for my (not at all famous) Christmas gift guide. Whether you are...
