2 Best Restaurants in Marble Falls, The Hill Country

Don't even think about coming to Marble Falls without taking a seat at this small-town diner, one of the oldest in Texas, where breakfast is served all day (they also serve lunch and dinner). There's a sign above the hostess stand that commands you to "eat some pie," and you'd be a fool to not listen and sample one of at least 16 different types made fresh daily. From mountainous meringue to creamy custard, the geniuses behind these sweet concoctions mean business. If you come between 2 and 5, you've made it for "Pie Happy Hour," which includes a slice of pie and a cup of joe. They also serve all the standards you'd find at an old-fashioned diner, in generous portions.

On a nice evening, dining on the deck is the thing to do here. The views are amazing, and the food holds up its end of the bargain. The house specialty is a generous hand-cut Texas rib eye with two sides, and the thick-cut "tower of onion rings" is mighty impressive. There is a sizable cocktail and wine list, and the friendly waitstaff expertly coaxes people to order dessert, like the warm carrot cake.
