Other Places to Eat
Don’t mind a bit of a walk? Check out: Hacienda El Charro at 306 S. Water St., Warehouse BBQ and Meetery at 305 N. Water Street, El Rancho at 608 E. Polk St., Mojo Coffee at 609 E. Polk St., or Scot’s Pizza (parked at Mojo!). Getting to these places is a *little* bit of an adventure, so prepare for a lack of sidewalks, or major street crossings.
Don’t want to fight the crowds? We love the grassy areas around the Burnet Courthouse in the heart of the town square. Pack your picnic and have a seat! Your own food and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome on board the train.
Sisters Coffee is also on the square for your caffeine needs!
