Salt Lick BBQ
Many people say the Salt Lick is well worth the drive for the vast Hill Country horizons seen from its rustic outdoor tables. The family-style meal includes all-you-can-eat beef, sausage, pork ribs and sides. There’s also live music on weekends.

Güero’s Taco Bar
Oh, Güero’s, how we love you. Why must you make us wait? Well, clearly it’s because of the three million other hungry people crammed into your bar area. Still, we’ll try to be patient, because we love the atmosphere lent by the century-old former feed-and-seed store, and because we have an obsessive craving for your chicken tortilla soup.

County Line
Unless you have an enormous appetite, there’s no need to splurge on the all-you-can-eat meals. Most of the combos and platters of delicious ribs, brisket and sausage are – truly – all you can eat. We love the lakeside location (enjoy a beer on the dock while you wait) and the lake-lodge decor.

La Brújula
This is a great stop for good coffee; fruit smoothies; breakfasts (including waffles with fruit); salads; and home-baked bread, cakes and cookies. It is rightly popular among artists and expats.

Since 1964 this place has been turning out beefy burgers that can be enjoyed outdoors while watching salmon spawn up Campbell Creek.

Golden Crown Panaderia
[ourpick] Golden Crown Panaderia Who doesn't love a friendly neighborhood bakery? Especially one with gracious staff, fresh-from-the-oven bread, fruit-filled empanadas, smooth coffee and the frequent free cookie. Make time in your schedule to sample the goodies inside this beloved adobe oasis, and call ahead to reserve a loaf of quick-selling green chili bread.

Amada
One of several Spanish tapas places to have opened in Philly in the last few years, Amada is run by renowned restaurateur Jose Garces - weekend dinner reservations are hard to come by. The long communal tables foster a bustling, happening and loud atmosphere and the combination of bold and traditional flavored dishes (try the crab-stuffed peppers) are phenomenal.

Camino
Kick-back-chic Camino’s short daily-changing menu showcases the best of local organic produce and meats, most cooked over an open fire in slow-food-meets-California-now style. The tables are of recycled old-growth redwood, and the place buzzes with the city’s bon vivants, high on European biodynamic and organic vintages. Reservations essential.

Kenny & Zuke's
Portland takes on New York in this new traditional Jewish-style deli next to the Ace Hotel where the pièce de résistance is - surprise, surprise - the hand-sliced pastrami (cured for five days, smoked for10 and steamed for three). Once you've demolished the classic pastrami on rye leave room for a blintz, latke or formidable desert.

Threadgill’s World Headquarters
Taking home cooking to a gluttonous new level, Threadgill’s lets you choose from a ridiculously long list of vegetable sides – something you just don’t get at home. Pair your meatloaf or chicken-fried steak with spinach casserole, butter beans, mac and cheese (not technically a vegetable, but still) and classic mashed potatoes and gravy.

Schilo’s German Delicatessen
Schilo’s has certainly earned its ambience: this German restaurant has been around since 1917, and looks the part, down to the wooden booths and the elaborate pattern of the hexagonal floor tiles. Specialties include wonderful split-pea soup, fresh pumpernickel bread, German beer and homemade root beer.

La Terraza
This family-run restaurant – with bright, lemon-lime-painted walls decorated with photos of the town’s annual festivities – is extremely popular with locals for its large selection of breakfasts, mariscos (seafood), quesadillas, platillos de la región, and crawfish (in season).

Reforma
Despite looking like a grand old-world place from the street, inside Reforma is as relaxed as can be. With vinyl booths and large portions of decent – if uninspired – fare, both the food and decor are diner-esque, which isn’t a bad thing if you’re in the market for an affordable, hearty meal.

La Crepe Michele
Tucked in the corner of an adobe courtyard near Old Town Plaza, this intimate restaurant is the place to enjoy a quiet romantic dinner. A variety of crepes are served for lunch and dinner, while French specialties, ranging from beef Wellington to barramundi au champagne, change nightly.

Haven
Houston’s first LEED-certified restaurant cooks up farm-to-table cuisine that’s so fresh your grandma would slap it. An adventurous menu puts a mod spin on Texas comfort foods, such as free-range devilled eggs, peanut-crusted soft-shell crab with okra and Hill Country wild-boar chili.

Spitzer's Corner
The corner location of this recent Lower East Side addition offers an open-air gastropub experience with a concise menu designed by a Michelin-starred chef, and more than 40 different beers on tap. Large communal tables and a lengthy counter facing the street encourage socializing.

Zatar
Zatar’s mishmash Mediterranean–Middle Eastern cooking spans Morocco to Iran. We like the bold spicing, homemade Iranian bread and fresh ingredients – many from the restaurant’s own organic garden – but the food’s pricey and a tad precious.

Wood Tavern
The daily-changing New American brasserie-style menu features what’s in season, with earthy, soulful dishes like pan-roasted lemon-rosemary chicken, chopped salads, cheese boards, charcuterie plates and a damn good burger. Very local, happening crowd. Make reservations.

Trudy’s Texas Star
Get your Tex-Mex fix here; the menu is consistently good, with several healthier-than-usual options. But we’ll let you in on a little secret: this place could serve beans and dirt and people would still line up for the margaritas, which might very well be the best in Austin.

Shan Dong
Hand-cut sesame noodles, giant pork buns, fresh dumplings – you can’t go wrong at this authentic Mandarin hole-in-the-wall with plastic chairs and fluorescent lighting. This is the real deal, so don’t expect fortune cookies, which are American in origin.

Anabanana
With five practically touching tables and a hand-lettered menu colored in with crayons, this long-time tortas and juice joint on the andador is a cozy choice for typical Mexican food and no-frills international options. Inexpensive breakfasts too.

Farm 255
Like a hippy dressed up in his Sunday's best, this stylish, light-filled bistro gets much of its meat and vegetables from its own 5-acre, organic/biodynamic Blue Moon Farms outside of Athens. The chefs prepare the scrumptious fare in the open-air kitchen.

Hobbit Hole Cafe
You don’t have to be a Lord of the Rings fan to geek out over this adorable woodsy hideaway with enticing veggie options. What would Frodo order? Probably the Gandalf sandwich or the curry chicken salad, guaranteed to fortify against orc attacks.

La Viola
Facing off across the street from one another are the old and new La Violas - both BYOB. The former is a cramped and unpretentious dining room, while the latter is larger and more modern; the cuisine at both, however, is fresh and reasonably priced.
