Dosey Doe: Food, Music, and Fun in a Rustic Spot

June 5, 2014 by

An old tobacco barn has been re-purposed to become the Dosey Doe, a great place for food, music, and fun near Avana Six Pines. When you come in, you’ll immediately be taken away by the large space. The Big Barn has great acoustics – perfect for listening to music! But first, have a seat and a meal. The chef at the Dosey Doe believes in cooking everything from scratch, using only the freshest local ingredients. Check out the Blue Plate Specials like grilled rib-eye or bacon wrapped quail. The everyday entrees like the “Ginormous” chicken fried steak with garlic potatoes and gravy will satisfy any appetite. And then, there’s the music! Great bands are always on tap at Dosey Doe’s Big Barn, featuring local bands and big acts like the Bellamy Brothers, Crystal Gayle, and Ray Price. Call ahead for advance ticket sales.

The Blue Mug Cafe: Casual Dining at Its Best

May 22, 2014 by

The Blue Mug Cafe is a fast-casual eatery serving breakfast and lunch. You place your order at the counter, and you're given a beeper that will alert you when your food is ready. Regulars note that the owners of The Blue Mug also own the poplar Black Walnut Cafe, so you can expect the same high-quality food and service.

One of the top dishes is the bruleed French toast, and once you taste it, you'll see why. The bread is extra thick sourdough, and it's grilled and then baked until it's golden brown. It's topped with powdered sugar, a medley of nuts, and the cafe's house-made bourbon amber maple syrup. The French dip sandwich also gets rave reviews. Diners note that the portions are generous, so you should expect to have some food to take home to Avana Six Pines.

Blue Mug Cafe

The Woodlands, TX 77382
