For an excellent, mid-priced alternative to Jacksonville's more upscale eateries, head to this roadhouse-style clapboard building six blocks northeast of the town's historic main drag. Authentic central Texas–style barbecue is served here: chargrilled red-hot sausage, slow-cooked pork ribs, and ½-pound burgers, plus a few steak and pasta dishes.
Casual and warmly decorated with shelves of cookbooks, pickled veggies, jams, and wine bottles, and with a few choice outdoor tables that you should definitely consider on a softly breezy summer day, this welcoming bistro is a perfect lunch or dinner stop after a tasting or two at a nearby winery. The kitchen specializes in creative takes on comfort fare, including homemade pastas, brioche-bun burgers with fingerling potatoes, and Alsatian-style pizzas with garlic bechamel sauce, smoked ham, and Swiss cheese.
