Fun atmosphere, good burgers, good craft beer. They have a burger battle always going- two specialty burgers going head to head, after 2 weeks whoever got ordered the least gets knocked out of the ring and they put another burger on. If a burger wins for a solid amount of time (3 months?) it makes it on the menu. Great Patio!

AMAZING! Definitely worth a stop. Swing by Bar Belmont before or after for a drink and a great view of downtown and to experience a bit of the historic hotel. Reservations recommended but not required. Great for dinner or breakfast! (Try their dinosaur pork chop for dinner or their brisket hash for breakfast).

a variety of restaurants that are all delicious in one place. Always plenty of parking- like a shopping center but only has restaurants. We recommend Beto’s & Sons. Great patios throughout- all have at least a section thats covered.

A vegan place that is INCREDIBLY popular. Apparently people who aren’t vegan even love their food. (we haven’t tried it yet). There is almost always a wait, even around 9 at night so it must be good. Right around the corner

only open for breakfast and lunch—but is worth making a point to go to! Delicious tacos (we recommend the frontero fundido) and beans and rice. Can be accommodated for a healthy diet as well. BYOB with no corkage fee so save some $ & bring some cerveza. If you are in a hurry order online or call ahead.

Great unique style Mexican food. We highly recommend Tenderloin fajitas. Big enough to split for 2 people (and we don’t say that lightly). Try one of their marg’s!

If you’ll be in uptown or are going downtown don’t miss this breakfast or lunch spot. Louisiana feel, delicious homemade breads (like banana nut) before your meal. Everything you order here is spot on (coming from a Cajun).

there is almost always a line out the door for a reason. They close at 10 Sharp and have no mercy for the people with a sweet tooth waiting, so make sure you get there in time. Perfect for a nightcap after Eno’s.
