An interior with the decor of a tea room. Masculine enough to also attract men. Delightful menu! Attentive, very friendly service. Famous for fish tacos on Wednesday, their menu includes wonderful items every day of the week. I especially enjoyed the Italian cream cake, and a cup of tortilla soup. Trendy-looking place with an eclectic clientele On first visit, I asked, what do you recommend that I order so that I will tell everyone the food here is wonderful? I ordered what was recommended, and now want to share that the food here is wonderful!.
2. River city donuts & coffee house

Would like to see employees wear plastic gloves when handling croissants and other edibles. Using tissues to grab croissants to later handle them with their bare hands while cutting them and making sandwiches is not clean. Employees then use the cash register and go back to serving customers while acting like they are using tissue paper. Too much direct contact with employees hands and edibles without washing hands.
3. Cripple Creek Steakhouse and Saloon

Before taking my family to the Cripple Creek Steak House, I read the reviews and spoke to some of my family and friends who had already eaten there and I got mixed reviews. The online reviews were mostly good, while the personal experience reviews from friends and family were almost all negative. I decided I needed to go ahead and experience the restaurant for myself and just get the doubts out if the way. I have to say the place itself looks nice enough inside and out. The service was good but definitely not excellent. We have been to a lot of steak houses all around Texas and the south, along the east coast and even some very fantastic steak houses in many other parts of the world. Most good steak houses have two things in common... great steaks and high prices. Here at the Cripple Creek they just had the high prices. Nearly every plate costs in excess of $20.00 but the quality to justify the cost just isn't there. I feel this restaurant is simply over priced and self over hyped. Nothing we experienced at Cripple Creek made it an even a somewhat decent steak house, at least by my standards and my standards in respect to steak houses isn't that truly that high. I just cannot recommend this restaurant.

This store was right next door to our hotel and was a great place to stop and get my favorite morning drink. A Grande Latte served fresh, hot and delicious. I tried out my new Starbucks app and it worked very well. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

A magnificent bakery with many specialties from Mexico. The wonderful smell of baking is overwhelming in the morning. You will love the experience of shopping at Chapa's.

When visitors who are not familiar with barbecue come to town, we always suggest a meal at Rudy's. A fun, welcoming place that smells great, and has great food. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and some things are better than other things. I always love the stuffed baked potato with extra butter, and the moist brisket.

The margarita was great, made with lime juice, no mix. Had the ribeye and grilled shrimp. It came with salad and baked potato. All was good. Service was good, too.
8. Lou's Wood Fire Pizza

Reviewed By caleb h - Tucson, Arizona
Went before the lunch rush on a Tues, and It was really really good. Margarita and the popper pizza was amazing. One person could eat a medium if they are hungry, but a small would fill up most people. Place is clean, and kinda of a nice, cool, dark interior. The server was ok. I have noticed a lot of complaints about the service, but this place doesn't really have the type of environment to have spectacular service. The pizza takes a bit to get made, so just expect that. It took about 20 minutes from order to eating with only one other table in the place. But over all, I love it. The pizza is amazing. The owner was cool too, he let me take a look up close of the oven. Thank you!

We always buy Julio’s chips in Houston because the seasoning is great. You can buy the chips and other products here, as well as food. Their food is average, and there are much better Mexican restaurants in the area. They also do not serve alcohol.
10. Chick-fil-A

4.5 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By Adventurecritic
First the pros. The Chik fil A restaurant here in Del Rio, Texas is one of the few restaurants with an indoor children's playground, which is always a big plus if you go out to eat with your family. It is a relatively new and very clean establishment. The food is very very tasty. The menu options are nice. Chick fil A customer service is by far one of the best if not the best in town for a fast food restaurant. They have a very efficient double drive through. And on a note that is far from my typical review criteria, one things I like and admire about Chik fil A is the fact that they are closed on Sundays to give their staff a day off for family and or church. Apparently the Chik fil A franchise is one that has some Christian roots and thus it asserts a more family oriented policy than many other establishments. Although I do not denominate myself as Christian, it is refreshing to see that any business places any sort of emphasis on family and the values that come along with that and not just greed and capitalism. And now the cons. On the negative side however, I sincerely feel that Chik fil A menu prices are absurdly high and unjustified considering what you're getting. The food is just chicken, not steak. The portions are way too small for what you're paying and perhaps that is a scheme to make up the profits lost for being closed on Sundays... but it is still nice that they give their employees every Sunday off.
