Ruby hotel is fun for drinks and apps or post meal, haven’t had their meals but they sound good. Hoot and Annie is great for just drinks. Some solid spots on Georgetown, like the golden rule, el Monumento, Tony and Luigi’s. Can’t think of any spots in RR that you didn’t mention already that fit your description.

I enjoyed Golden Rule, too! I might’ve been drunk but that place seemed so large and had neat seating.

Seconding Hoot and Annie! Also the Georgetown square has loads but it does get packed on weekends so be prepared for a stroll around the square while you wait.

Don’t forget to grab a beverage while you stroll the square!

Ghama Zone Korean downtown was really tasty with a cool vibe

Been wanting to go there, that spot seems to be cursed. Nothing has survived there in quite some time.

I definitely recommend also! Been there twice and it was soo good both times!

100%!

Salt Traders has a really cool vibe and great seafood. My wife and I like to dress in our Nautical style clothes and go there. It's fun!

Also I believe owned by Jack Allen’s people

Yes, I heard that too. We haven't tried Jack Allen's yet.

Not bad. I do prefer salt traders

Agreed, salt traders is better. And confirm the same owners. I was there opening night, Jack Gilmore was lit, good times.

We love seafood! We will check it out!

Depends where you've had seafood... We're from New England and thought salt traders was awful

Love Salt Traders!

Palermo Pasta House, URBAN eat drink, and the new Ramen Tatsuya, are all really good in Round Rock. Also as someone else said, we loved Ghama Zone. We’ve never had Korean food before and the waiter was super helpful and explained each dish and everything was so delicious. Up in downtown Georgetown we really liked Wildfire and Goodfolks.

Love Wildfire! Gonna have to try Goodfolks.

Thirding Wildfire...so good!

Second vote for Urban Eat and Drink, awesome whiskey selection, live music most weekends nights, excellent food.

Urban Eat Drink

Urban rooftop too!

Georgetown: 2020 Market Scratch Kitchen El Monumento Juliet La Riv City Post Chophouse The Golden Rule Wildfire

Seconding 2020 Market Scratch Kitchen and adding Blue Corn Harvest (though there are multiple locations besides Georgetown)

One just opened here in RR across 79 from Kalahari. And Kenny Fort pub has excellent brunch food on the weekends.

Blue Corn Harvest just opened up in Round Rock too!

BCH is a great suggestion. I really enjoy their menu.

Oh my La Riv is amazing. Scratch 2020, El Monumento and Golden Rule are all my favorites

My go-to is The Grove.

All of these recs are great!! I would add Bar Louie in the hotel by the outlets. They have music bingo and karaoke and lots of fun themed nights

Sushi Nini FTW!

Ooo we love sushi! We will have to check that out!

I took a very well traveled man there and he raved about it. He said it was by far the best sushi he had ever eaten.

Oooo thanks! I'm excited to try! We haven't found any good sushi and sashimi since our trip to Japan last year!

Hutto has a food truck park downtown that does events on Fridays

Omg thank you so much everyone! I will check out these places 🩵🫶🏼

Ginos!

Urban rooftop bar is always a hit! Cheaper - The Rock sportsbar

Have you been to City Post in Georgetown? It's a nice steakhouse. Also try Goodfolks.

Backporch Social is a new spot downtown we have wanted to try out, looks pretty cool!

Oz is off 2222 and has a good kitchen. You get to self pour but they cut customers off at a certain ounce point. Hence the name Oz=Ounce.
