Affordable wine bar with plenty of outdoor seating, underneath a huge live oak that once was a playground for our kids after services at St. Michael's Episcopal church. My favorite appetizers: fried oysters on homemade potato chips, with pico de gallo; crab cakes.

If you want authentic Barbq, this is it. It's a drive, and it's worth it. No heavy tomato-based sauce, just lovely, flavorful dipping sauce. Butcher paper on the tables, good sides. Also, take it home.

Sightseeing

Small park very close by. Gentle trails on the lake, bird-watching, but also interesting wooded trails by a creek. I recommend the Waterfall Trail https://www.google.com/maps/place/Commons+Ford+Ranch+Metropolitan+Park/@30.3381291,-97.892435,16.67z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x865b3661d6f4f0b7:0x278634727e17f2cf!8m2!3d30.3363051!4d-97.891369
