Don't let its name fool you; Sarena's Breakfast and Donuts is good for more than just its sweets. In fact, according to Yelp reviews, some of the best eats on the menu fall on the savory side of breakfast fare. The kolaches, in particular, earn raves. Kolaches have roots in Central Europe, but Sarena's brings them to Round Rock in the form of pastries stuffed with sausage and various complements. While most locals call the straight-up sausage kolache the best, you can order one filled with sausage plus cheese or cheese and jalapeno. They come in regular and jumbo sizes.

Don't overlook the doughnuts, though. They're just as fresh as the kolaches and the breakfast croissants, which come stuffed with eggs and other ingredients. Grab a classic glazed or chocolate doughnut for just 54 cents apiece. Or opt for the more decadent eclair, cinnamon roll, jelly-filled doughnut, or apple fritter. If you want to make your morning treat really last, grab a dozen doughnut holes for $1.

If you’re looking for an old-fashioned bowling alley where you can enjoy an affordable game with your friends, Highland Lanes might be just the place near Hardrock Canyon. This well-maintained facility contains numerous lanes complete with electronic scoreboards and high-tech flatscreen televisions displaying your score. There is ample seating for your entire team at the end of your lane, and on weekends, you can even play in the dark using glow-in-the-dark equipment during Electric Bowl.

There are optional bumpers on each lane for the little ones, as well as a well-stocked pro shop where you can rent shoes and balls if you don’t have your own. Grab a juicy, grilled hamburger or a hot dog from the attached Lebowski’s Grill to make a day (or night) out of your bowling experience.

Highland Lanes is open 9:30 a.m. to midnight Sundays through Thursdays and 9:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
