Round Rock Donuts: Not Just Donuts

January 23, 2013 12:06 pm

Since 1926, Round Rock Donuts has been a Texas tradition with their famous golden doughy delights. Their signature donut — glazed, warm and Texas-sized — has been featured on national TV food shows. Other donut options are simple and traditional — don’t expect any fancy flavors or sprinkles. In addition to the glazed, cake, and cream filled donuts, the bakery also offers a variety of other baked goods like danishes, fritters, muffins and coffee cakes.  Customers rave about the cream filled eclairs. And though Round Rock Donuts is a famous area landmark, it hasn’t gone to their heads — everything is reasonably priced and the lobby has a homey feel with stone walls and wood paneling. 

In a hurry or don't want to be tempted? Use the drive-thru. Round Rock Donuts also creates custom cakes for birthdays, graduations, weddings and other special occasions.

Main Street Grill: Big City Dining for Less

January 16, 2013 12:05 pm

Some great restaurants don’t blow you away with decor, but let the food speak for itself. Sure, Main Street Grill looks classy enough inside, with high-backed booths, crisp linens, candles on the tables, and cool modern art on the walls. But nothing grabs you, nothing makes a grand claim. That’s the food’s job—and the food speaks loudly. In Dallas or Chicago, fine new American cuisine like this would break the bank, but here in Round Rock it’s not exactly cheap, but along with the smooth, attentive service, a meal here is of extraordinary value. Start with savory green grill cheesecake, a creamy, pungent delight under a pool of cilantro dressing and pico de gallo. You are also sure to enjoy the Asian-spiced venison medallions, cooked medium rare, with perfectly fried polenta, baby asparagus, and button mushrooms sauteed in wine. A sweet blackberry demiglace sauce, with thin lines of wasabi-spiked mustard running through it, accompanies the tender and tasty meat. The dessert and wine lists are equally decadent. Main Street Grill is open for lunch and dinner Monday – Friday, and for dinner on Saturday. Closed Sundays.
