Watering Holes
Traditional college beer garden, but frequented by older folks too. Will be packed on a game day, but if it’s a quiet weeknight or summer day, it’s a pleasant plate to sit outside and enjoy a beer and decent burger or snack.
Total dive but great local flavor right down the street. Happens to be owned by the next door neighbor!

Open early mornings for breakfast and lunch, but now serving dinner Tuesday-Saturday, based on fresh local ingredients and their homemade breads (you can buy them by the loaf too). Started by a friend’s mother out of her house in 1981, but has come full circle and is now operated by her 40+ year old children in an older building just blocks from that old house.

Can’t vouch for it, but have heard good things. It’s a tiny spot in a tiny strip center. Laura Bush reportedly missed it so much when they left Texas for the presidency that she had the chefs come to the White House on occasion.
