Compliments
The Highland Lakes north of Austin offer the best fishing in Central Texas. When you're surrounded by lakes like these, what else could you possibly need (besides a boat)?

The Austin
Lockhart, Texas estimates over 250,000 come to their town to eat BBQ. Blacks, Smitty's, Kreuz serve meat unlike anything you or the other 250,000 people have eaten. And while you're looking for BBQ, drive to Llano and Elgin for some more!

Driftwood Tx
Salt Lick
Shady Tree
Some people would say visiting Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood is a religious experience -- meat, cole slaw and cobbler worth praying to. Bring a 12-pack of beer and make yourself comfortable, this is a meal you'll remember.
