    @texaswig I will take My Beautiful Wife, as she has never been to one. I frequented them in So. Cal. when I was working on a project out in Anaheim Hills.
    Loved the food, long lines, had police directing traffic when they were open.
    Thank you for the input, as it is a sure thing for us to do while there.
    There use to be WhataBurger in CA?   I thought it was a Texas thing.

    If you want some great beer, hit Real Ale brewery in Blanco.  And 


    My friends started Real Ale in the early 90s.  Was there when the very first keg was tapped in their carport.  They sold it to its current owners in early 2000s and hes done great things.  My favorite now is by @The Cen-Tex Smoker and me- Infamous Brewery.
    Thank you for the information, love the background. We will add as much as we can, and I certainly appreciate your insight.
    @xfire_ATX, that is awesome.

    YukonRon, if you like Belgian tripels, their Devil's Backbone rivals some of the good tripels out of Belgium.

    Other places of note that I have not been yet-

    Styles Switch (he's an acolyte of Louie Mueller bbq in Tayler. They are considered one of the founding fathers of TX bbq. He's one of the few that does dinner too. Most open at 11 and serve until sold out. 

    I've heard good things about Freedman's too. Just haven't been. 

    Of course Franklin is still the king but on a weekend, it's a 5-6 hour deal. A fun deal but I wouldn't recommend giving up your whole day for it. You can get close at all the others and be in and out in under an hour. Get on with your life.




    +1 for Stiles Switch BBQ. http://www.stilesswitchbbq.com/

    Been there done that and can't wait to go back. Shocked that it doesn't get more love on this site.

    If you were in socal, that was probability in-and-out. There are no whataburgers in socal. But there is one in F-burg.

    You are correct. It was in and out. That is the one with all the quotes from the Bible, right?

    Taken too many shots to the head over the years. I really do have problems with memory. I mean no harm. Thanks for the clarification.

    Definitely Shiner.

    Or if any place you visit has beer from Adelbert's from Austin or Karbach from Houston - just drink it.

    You mean too many Bourbon Slushies. I was thinking In N Out too since I've been out here since the early 80's and don't remember Whataburger other than my TX trips & when I lived in Houston.   FYI...you can get In N Out in TX now.  We do have Raising Cane's popping up now in SoCal.

    Maybe it was Fatburger.  I don't remember any bible quotes in an in-n-out, that sounds more like chic fil a.

    I don't do chic file a, probably fat burger. Been concussionVille several times, memory is getting not great. Sorry, I have a very hard time with recall.

    Me too Ron, me too.  

    From all of the advice on here, your trip is likely too short by a couple of weeks.  If you do happen to stop at Garrison Bros. on the way out to or way back from F'burg, it's worth a stop in the Hye Market at the turn to the distillery (Hye-Albert Rd I think).  Funky place, lots of local stuff, including wine and beer and a deli that is far from traditional, some good prepared food to take with you.

    If you all do congregate in town for some bbq with CenTex, let me know and I may crash if you want a little bigger mob.
