"Royers Cafe is a relic in Round Top and part of what helped put this town, with an estimated population of 90, 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. Tourists travel far and wide for its grilled shrimp BLT sandwich and the $58 steak special, with a tender steak smothered in a rosemary wine cream sauce and portobello mushrooms over mashed potatoes. On Sundays, locals filter in for the half-order of crispy fried chicken, served with mashed potatoes and what might be the best cream corn known to man. The pies, however, seal the deal. Royers is home to the Texas trash pie, which offers caramel, chocolate chips, coconut, graham crackers, and pretzels in every bite, and the Not Your Mother’s Apple Pie, which features a decadent filling fused with brown sugar and whipped cream, and a healthy topping of brown sugar and pecans. Stay inside to enjoy the ambiance and the pie in Royers’ obligatory style — warmed up with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Visit its sister location Royers Pie Haven, which features a variety of different styles." - Nadia Chaudhury
