🌴 Laid-Back Lakeside Spots

Texas BBQ hits different when you’re right on the water. At The County Line, you’ll find all the classics from brisket, ribs, pulled pork. All served in a laid-back setting with unbeatable lake views. Pro tip: come hungry and don’t skip the bread.

☕ Coffee and Light Bites
Mozart’s Coffee Roasters

For a slower pace, Mozart’s is the go-to. Grab a coffee, a pastry, and a seat overlooking the water. Time it right and you will get live music plays in the background. It’s perfect for a morning reset or a cozy evening hang.
