"Don’t leave Round Top with a visit to this restaurant. Royers Cafe is somewhat of a relic in this town and part of what helped put Round Top on the map. Opened in the 80s, Royers is the type of place you have to see to believe. Beyond the fresh-baked whole pies cooling behind glass, the decades-old restaurant has nostalgic wall-to-wall decor that extends to the ceiling, giving diners a feast for their eyes while they dine. Lunch includes dishes like fried green tomatoes and a fantastic beef tenderloin sandwich, while dinner features include a 16-ounce rack of lamb, shrimp and grits and “funky” chicken topped with blue cheese dressing. Diners are known to roadtrip to this restaurant specifically for its grilled shrimp BLT sandwich and the $58 steak special, which comes with a tender steak smothered in a rosemary wine cream sauce and portabello mushrooms over mashed potatoes. On Sundays, locals filter in for the half-order of the crispy fried chicken, which is served with mashed potatoes and what might be the best cream corn known to man." - Brittany Britto Garley
