Royers Round Top Café

"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

"Although Austin is still without its branch of the Texas pie mecca, but fans of the dessert can head to the original location of the shop out in antiquing haven Round Top. Not only does it make damn good pie, it also turns out a mean steak and rack of lamb. Round up a few friends and get the pie sampler, which comes with four different slices topped with an unholy amount of vanilla ice cream.Driving distance from Austin: approximately 1 hour and 22 minutes" - Nadia Chaudhury
