Besides having the most awesome lamps that hang from the ceiling, Chennai Cafe has great South Indian food.  When you walk in the door, the fragrant aromas hit you and you find yourself curious about the dining experience that awaits.  Their website explains things in the following way.

“Chennai cafe is an Indian restaurant that specializes on Authentic South Indian cuisines. We have unique dishes that you wouldn’t fine anywhere and is complimented by our extensive menu which covers most of the South Indian dishes.”

For lunch today, I enjoyed the Lamb Kurma, rice, Naan, and tea.  It was all wonderful, with just the right amount of spice.  And did I mention their beautiful lamps that are ripe for use with the Prisma App?

Shrimp ‘n Stuff

This Galveston restaurant is one of my favorites for fried seafood.  At Shrimp ‘n Stuff you can sit out on the patio or inside for some much needed air conditioning.  My lunch today was the “Create Your Own Platter” with fried shrimp, catfish, hush puppies, fries, and sweet tea.  It was most awesome.

Yard House

My crew from work ended up at Yard House this afternoon for Happy Hour.  This is a nice new addition to the Domain within a short walk from Whole Foods.  They have yards, half yards, 130 different taps, drinks other than beer, and good food.  My beer of choice was the Clown Shoes Clementine Belgian style White Ale.  We enjoyed our time here today, and I recommend you check it out if you are a beer lover.

The Saucy Rooster

There is a new restaurant in town, and as you can see, they have some nice macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and chicken with gravy.  It is a tiny joint located just off the freeway and named The Saucy Rooster Chicken Company.  If you find yourself in Round Rock, check out the menu and see if there is something you might like to try.

Evening at the Domain

IMG_1280

If you go walking at the Domain on a Friday evening, you can experience several things.  You can stop and admire the red roses.  You can catch a rock band playing on the Great Lawn stage.  Drop in at Flaming Pizza and build your own pizza creation.  Make friends with a grackle who really just wants to taste a bit of your pizza.  And as you walk back, you can catch the sun as it begins to set behind the power lines.  Not too bad for a Friday evening.
