If you like Hefeweizen style of beer, this is the only place in the city where you'll find authentic German varieties! They also have a half off happy hour with appetizers (sausage and the like).

Gigantic margaritas. If you're from the west coast and craving Mexican food, this place is as decent as it gets. If you see a place that says "Mexican Post" do NOT eat there!

This place is AMAZING and it is a nice sit-down restaurant in the Headhouse District. The pizza is rich and ridiculously flavorful, unlike your common Domino's. They have olive oil flavored gelato.
