It may seem like a hole in the wall and a bit out of place along trendy West Sixth Street – and it is – but Hoffbrau has attained a "beloved institution" status that precludes any attempt at pretense. In business since 1934, the place is still operated by the same family, and more than a few employees have been there...

Stone walls, a fireplace, wooden floors and ceilings, and an abundance of down-home service combine to make Moonshine one busy restaurant. Sunday's brunch buffet practically buckles with a bounty of bodacious vittles, and lunch is a treat as well. It offers horseradish-crusted salmon, green chile macaroni with grilled...

This is down-home cooking at its best, beginning with the usual array of Lone Star breakfast dishes, all expertly prepared.

One critic described this place as "funky bar meets roadhouse." However you describe it, it enjoys a faithful clientele who can order their chili at varying degrees of heat. If you're not in the mood for something in a bowl, try a chili cheeseburger, or chili-topped enchiladas, or even a tame but tasty grilled chicken...

Wildfire has garnered raves from big-city types, and its blue corn-crusted catfish even earned a nod from a national magazine. If that doesn't entice you to make the trek to Georgetown, perhaps Southwestern seafood chowder will. Or maybe cracked-pepper chicken fried steak or grilled Jamaican jerk pork chops will do...
