Gourmet Lunch Boxes at Round Rock’s Urban Picnic

June 12, 2013 2:30 pm

Urban Picnic is a delightfully fresh sandwich shop in Round Rock that serves healthy and tasty lunch fare.  The concept is creating gourmet picnic boxes that include a sandwich or salad, a side, and a cake ball.  The chicken salad sandwich is a popular choice, as is the ham and cheddar with Dijon and apple butter, which gives a tangy touch and brings the flavors together.  Many choose a cup of soup for their side, and the potato is nice and creamy.  Urban Picnic specializes in cake balls and there are many rotating flavors to choose from.  These small desserts give the perfect amount of sweet finish to your meal.  Chef specials rotate through the menu.  Prices reflect the quality ingredients, and reasonably-sized portions make it a fair deal.  There are a few tables inside and out, but most orders are to-go.  You can order online and they’ll even deliver, making it perfect for office lunches.

Pig Out On Pulled Pork at Curly’s Perfect Pig

May 28, 2013 2:34 pm

Curly’s Perfect Pig in Round Rock is the area favorite for authentic Carolina-style pulled pork, served with a friendly smile.  There are several sandwiches on this food trailer’s menu, like “Nashvegas” pulled pork on pan-fried cornbread and a side of cole slaw.  Purists will love the “Charleston” with its homemade mustard based sauce.  The sides are just as good, including hushpuppies that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.  Although many customers come for the pulled pork, the fried okra has a following of its own.  Don’t overlook the specials, as customers love treats like the innovative quesadillas.
