Texas Restaurants That Belong On Your Dining Bucket List
What are the best restaurants in Texas?
Luckily for us Texans, there's absolutely no shortage of excellent eating in the Lone Star state! Among the top contenders for the "best", though, are a few gems that stick out just a little bit above the rest. Some of those include Tony's Italian Deli in Montgomery, Gino's Deli Stop-N-Buy in San Antonio, Kurry Takos in Austin, and Tommy Tamale in Grapevine. Of course, since "best" is highly subjective, these might be hits or misses for you - it all depends on what you like, personally. No matter what your favorite cuisine is, though, you're definitely going to find it in Texas!
What are some must-visit restaurants in Texas?
One of our top picks for the quintessential place to visit in Texas is in Amarillo, at The Big Texan. The Big Texan is a legendary staple of Lone Star fare, offering up huge portions and a one-of-a-kind-atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. They're famous for one thing in particular, though - the 72 ounce steak challenge. Think you can finish a four-and-a-half-pound steak with all the fixins' and sides in an hour? If so, it's free. Game on.
What kind of food is popular in Texas?
When people think Texas, they usually think barbecue. Texas is absolutely legendary in terms of barbecue, and there's so many places out there that serve up insanely good, perfectly prepared barbecue that we don't know where to start. Among our personal favorites are Rudy's (which is so good it made its way into a national chain) and Franklin Barbecue is absolutely to die for. Once again, it's mostly up to you and your preferences - but we can try to point you in a tasty, tasty direction.
