Pancakes (and Migas) for dinner! Kerbey Lane Cafe has the best pancakes. I picked the chocolate chip pancakes this evening. As a bonus, I got to enjoy the art by Linda Jacobson. Some day I will need to check out her Gallery in Wimberly, Texas.

Stiles Switch BBQ
Tonight’s dinner was consumed at the award winning Stiles Switch BBQ. Nothin’ fancy, just some great Texas BBQ. I enjoyed the moist brisket, turkey breast, mac n cheese, corn casserole, and iced tea. This is a nice casual place on Lamar Blvd. in North Austin, so come and check it out.
Ronda Rousey
The UFC fights brought everyone out to Bombshells tonight to watch the Main Event. Ronda Rousey did not disappoint – unless you were looking for a fight that would last beyond 34 seconds into the first round. She is simply amazing! It was nice to sit out on the patio and enjoy all the action.
Gristmill
Just beneath the water tower in Gruene and under the blazing Texas Summer sun, you will find one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The Gristmill restaurant overlooks the Guadalupe River and serves up typical Texas favorites like the Chicken Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes that I had for lunch. It was great!
Bass Pro Shops II
It has been about a month since my last visit to the Bass Pro Shops in Round Rock. I took a stroll around the store, admired the bears, checked out the fish in the aquarium, and had dinner at Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl & Grill. I’m still glad they decided to build this store here.
Pelon’s Tex-Mex Restaurant
My afternoon plans were to attend the “Quesoff” at the Mohawk in downtown Austin. These plans were squashed when I showed up about thirty minutes early and the line went down the block and wrapped up the hill from there with no end in sight. Apparently, queso contests are extremely popular on beautiful sunny days in Austin. So, instead, I checked into Pelon’s for some brunch. This place is nice with a gorgeuos deck and groovy air-conditioned interior. The food needs a little work, but the location is perfect and the staff was great. See you next year, queso judging party!
Tortuga Flats Mexican Icehouse
My friend had a going away party this evening at Tortuga Flats in Round Rock. He’s not really going too far as it turns out, but just moving from one organization at work to our organization. I think we look for excuses to drink nice, tasty margaritas too much. Oh, and by the way, this place has a nice Happy Hour!
Double Dave’s Pizzaworks
This pizza joint is a good place to enjoy the Wednesday night pizza buffet. At Double Dave’s in North Austin, you can load up on salad, pizza and pizza rolls. I’m sure this is a most healthy dinner, right?
Santorini Cafe
It continues to rain in Austin. I had a quick, dry lunch inside Santorini Cafe in Austin today – lamb gyro and iced tea. This is a pleasant spot on North Lamar Blvd. and I need to return on a sunny day and make use of their cool patio.
Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl and Grill
I think I should just interview for a position at the Bass Pro Shops in Round Rock as much time as I have spent there lately. Today’s trip was for lunch at Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl and Grill located inside the store. As you can tell from the photos, this place is fully decorated as an undersea wonderland, including a giant shipwreck over the bar, two bowling alleys on either side, and schools of fish and several large sharks hanging from the walls and ceiling. My lunch was simple but tasty and consisted of a grilled chicken Caesar salad and iced tea. This place is definitely worth a visit for some food and fun if you like to bowl (shark painted bowling balls are an added bonus).
