Steak and baked potato dinner with a pint glass that says Aspen Creek

Whether you’re looking for a laid-back spot to catch the big game or a cozy place for a family dinner, we’ve got you covered. We asked our local team to share their favorite go to restaurants, and here’s what they had to say:

Posados Café

A go-to spot for classic Tex-Mex in a relaxed setting. Posados Café serves tasty lunch specials and is especially popular with our teammate JD; he’s a regular when the Texas Longhorns aren’t playing! Weekly specials keep things fun: Kids Menu Monday, Taco Tuesday, Chicken Fajitas Wednesday, and Enchilada Thursday are always a hit.

Aspen Creek Grill

This cozy, lodge-style grill is perfect for game day, especially if you're rooting for the Cowboys like most of our crew. The warm, rustic vibe pairs well with their signature drinks and draft beers. Be sure to try the steak, it’s our favorite, but the meatloaf and fried mushrooms are also crowd-pleasers.

China King

A local favorite for unwinding after a long day, China King offers a relaxing buffet experience with all-you-can-eat options. It’s more than just a meal, it’s a chance to spend quality time with family, which is why it’s Angel’s top pick.

Bubba’s 33

Right next door to China King, Bubba’s 33 brings the all-American vibe with outdoor seating and tons of TVs to catch any big game. It’s the perfect place to bring the family after a busy day. Two of our team members even picked it as their top favorite!

Texas de Brazil

For something a bit more upscale, Texas de Brazil brings bold flavor with endless grilled meats served tableside and a fully loaded salad bar. The lively atmosphere and strong cocktails make it a fun night out. And yes, we recommend the steak (we’re serious about our steak here).

Chuy’s

Known for their “big as yo’ face” burritos and bold Tex-Mex flavors, Chuy’s is always a good time. Fan favorites include their fajita kits, steak burrito, and the King’s Memorial Combo. Don’t miss their happy hour—or the deals on National Tequila Day (July 24th).
