Executive chef and owner Jack Gilmore and his partner Tom Kamm are the masterminds behind Jack Allen’s Kitchen in Round Rock. They take pride in offering delicious “new American cuisine” from locally-sourced food. Instead of bread, Jack Allen’s starts your meal with a taste of their signature pimiento cheese and flatbread crackers. Many dishes combine Southern favorites with a Southwestern twist, and you’ll probably have a tough time deciding because everything sounds delicious. The BLT sliders come highly recommended and are made with grilled pork belly and fried green tomatoes. The Chile Mango Shrimp tacos are another favorite of regulars. The menu also features seasonal specials every night as well as a Sunday brunch buffet. Service is helpful and attentive. High ceilings, warm woods and local art make the atmosphere feel welcoming and airy. Reservations are recommended.

Want to watch the game? Head to Pluckers Wing Bar in Round Rock, just a few minutes from Indigo Apartments. This place loves to use their fryers! Pluckers has 19 zesty sauces to coat their crispy and juicy wings, like the Hallelujah, sweet sauce with a kick, and Spicy Mandarin, for a flavorful twist. If you want to challenge your taste buds, try Fire In The Hole, their hottest sauce.  Those that manage to put away 25 wings will appear on their “wall of flame.” (If you do, make sure to cool off with some sweet tea.) Other fried favorites are the pickles, fried mac and cheese, and thick-cut homemade potato chips with warm blue cheese dressing. Burgers and sandwiches round out their menu, along with several sides including twice baked potato casserole, waffle fries, and mac and cheese — which many people swear is the best they’ve had. So what are you waiting for?
