     If there is one thing people like to do in the Piney Woods besides be outdoors, it is EAT! Go ahead and enjoy a sampling of the region’s cuisines at one of the many locally owned restaurants in town. From real Texas BBQ, authentic Mexican Food, spicy Cajun cuisine, seafood, and steaks, to homemade specialties and gourmet surprises.
