Jacoby's Restaurant & Mercantile

"This rustic-chic Govalle restaurant has one of the most relaxing patios in town. Enjoy views of a quiet and pretty section of the Colorado River with refreshing cocktails and burgers that feature beef from the owner’s ranch. There’s an indoor dining room as well." - Erin Russell

"This Govalle Southern restaurant raises its own brand of beef on the Jacoby Ranch, which is used for steaks that are later dry-aged from 21 to 28 days. The chicken-fried steak and burger are staples, but the daily butcher’s cut, paired with mashed potatoes, broccolini, and black garlic fried onions, should not be missed. Make brunch or dinner a breezy occasion by dining on the spacious, rustic patio." - Darcie Duttweiler

"This Govalle Texan restaurant with ranch roots serves a weekend brunch loaded with beefy entrees that aren’t to be missed, such as chicken-fried steak and waffles, steak and eggs, and smoked rib-eye eggs Benedicts. Elsewhere, there is also French toast, chorizo migas, and BLTs made with chicken-fried bacon. Brunch hours are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Takeout orders can be placed online and there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"After or before or even during your brunch or dinner at the Govalle Texan restaurant, pop into the next-door Mercantile where you can find goods like home decor, jewelry, candles, and even glass and plateware from the restaurant itself. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The private dining room at Govalle Texas spot upholds the restaurant’s upscale rustic charm, and features a small bar and private restroom. The scenic outdoor patio can also be sectioned off for events." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
