May 1, 2014 by

For your next special night out, consider Tokyo Steakhouse and Sushi Bar in Round Rock. This benihana-style restaurant offers an upscale but relaxed dining environment.

Many customers rave about their special onion soup.

Twenty Years of Tradition Go Into the Sandwiches at Hoody’s Sub Shop

March 27, 2014 by

Residents of Round Rock have been flocking to Hoody's Sub Shop for over twenty years—and with good reason. Besides creating subs with high quality ingredients, like Boar's Head meat and cheese, Hoody's is also a dedicated part of the community. The owners are longtime Round Rock residents and happily support the area in their business endeavors.

Select hot or cold sandwiches, such as the Philly cheesesteak piled high with mushrooms, onions, and peppers, the delightfully spicy Cajun turkey topped with provolone, or skip the bread and turn any sub into a salad. All sandwiches come with lettuce, onion, tomato, and pickle, but you're more than welcome to add extras to any sub, including oil, spices, mustard, and mayonnaise.

Hoody's also offers a party tray (for pick up or delivery) that easily feeds twelve to fifteen and makes satisfying your hungry group a breeze.

Sip Bottomless Coffee, Fill Up on Pancakes at Cafe Java

March 6, 2014 by

If you feel like venturing out of the house for some breakfast, consider stopping by Round Rock's own Cafe Java. This cozy neighborhood cafe serves up some mean pancakes and coffee is always fresh, hot, and bottomless. The breakfast platters come with two eggs, crispy hash browns, toast, and your choice of meat: steak, ham, sausage, or corn beef hash.

Go for the Spicy Oyster Gumbo at Louisiana Longhorn Cafe

January 8, 2014 by

Louisiana Longhorn Cafe happily offers Round Rock residents a place to enjoy authentic Creole cooking in a friendly, relaxed environment. The walls of this restaurant are decked with Cajun themed decorations, including a longhorn sporting Mardi Gras beads. 

Most dishes are based off family recipes and have a heavy emphasis on crawfish, shrimp, fish, a generous amount of spices, and plenty of creamy sauces. Try the fettuccini alfredo with crawfish, the crab cake stuffed flounder filet, or the spicy oyster gumbo. If you're craving etouffee or a po'boy, Louisiana Longhorn Cafe has those, too. Dishes are spicy, but not hot enough to put off those with a more delicate palate.

With a free five story parking garage nearby, this is a great place for large parties to get together and enjoy each other's company over some great food.
