LSF GUIDE TO ROUND TOP, texas
RESTAURANTS
Royers Round Top Café –The staple of Round Top dining! For over 30 years, Royers has gained a reputation for its delicious food and world-famous pies. At this Texas Country Bistro the question is never “if you’re havin’ pie” but rather simply “what kinda pie you havin’?” Make reservations or get there early because this place fills up fast! (Open Thurs-Sat Lunch and Dinner and Lunch on Sunday). Stopping by Royers early in the morning or just want a coffee and light snack? Stop by Royers Pie Haven located in Henkel Square (walking distance from their café).
The Garden Co Feed and Firewater – Rummel Square - Healthier lunch and dinner options to keep you light on your feet for a day of antique hunting. A wide variety of salads and sandwiches with an assortment of dinner entrees. Insider tip – eat at the bar and enjoy a Ranch Water or if in town on the weekend check out their brunch options topped off with a Bloody Mary. (Open Wednesday – Saturday and Sunday for Brunch)
Local Roots – Henkel Square – The newcomer on the square, Local Roots, offers up an assortment of soups, salads and sandwiches. We highly recommend the deviled eggs as an appetizer or mid-day snack. Also, be sure to grab one of their baked goods for a sweet treat. Can’t get enough while in town? Local Roots offers frozen casseroles for the road!
Round Top Smoke House - Located next to Ellis Motel sits mouth watering BBQ with an Asian flare while keeping true to the TX BBQ we all love. Get one of everything!
