Anthonie's Market Grill is an incredible one-of-a-kind find tucked between lazy farm roads and sprawling ranch land in Simonton, near Houston. Here, the cattle and horses far outnumber the people. The beautiful, massive outdoor patio sports a giant fire pit, and live country music fills the air. We promise - this is one spot that's well worth the drive!

Travel back in time at The Esquire Tavern, the oldest bar on San Antonio's River Walk and the longest in Texas. The bar bites are sophisticated but familiar, like the colorful charcuterie or the delish deviled eggs. Craft cocktails also star at this James Beard Nominated spot.

Grab your friends and post up on the sprawling rooftop patio at LSA Burger Co. in the heart of historic downtown Denton. It's all about "Lone Star Attitude" here, from the live Texas music to the colorful tributes to Texas musicians scattered throughout. LSA also dishes out some of the BEST burgers we've found. Trust us, you'll need a Texas-sized appetite for this place and your best boots!
