Tortas, sopes, tacos, and burritos — this restaurant has all the basics to satisfy your hunger for delicious Mexican food. We suggest their great breakfast burritos in the morning or the steak-and-chile combination plate for dinner.
Old West Cafe
For a classic American diner experience, try the Old West Cafe. Since 2000, this family-friendly down-home restaurant has grown into a local favorite, and for good reason. You’ll find fantastic skillets and griddle creations for breakfast here, as well as an extensive lunch menu that features items such as chicken-fried steaks, Mamaw’s Meatloaf, and top-notch sandwiches. This restaurant closes at 2 p.m., so make sure you get there early enough to get the good stuff.

RG Burgers & Grill
One of the best places in town to get a burger is RG Burgers & Grill. This burger restaurant never disappoints. Go for the no-nonsense RG’s Classic burger or expand your horizons with the barbecue Smokey Joe Classic or fried-egg Brunch Burger. All of their burgers come with unlimited steak fries, and they also have chicken, fish, and hot dogs you should taste — after you try one of their burgers.
The Taste
The Taste is the place to go to get Korean food, or when you want something more interesting for lunch than an unimaginative sandwich.
