Table of Contents
1. Hard Count Kitchen
For a laid-back meal with a sophisticated twist, Hard Count is the place to go. Think comfort food but elevated—like their incredible enchiladas, which I had, and they were so good I basically cleaned the plate. My friend Lindsey highly recommended the Monte Cristo she had and it did look quite tasty. They have a daily happy hour from 3–6 PM, where you can sip $6 cocktails while pretending to be fancy. Located at 1500 Rivery Blvd Suite 2105, Georgetown, TX 78628.
2. Sweet Lemon
Sweet Lemon Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you want to linger over a latte and a pastry (or three). The coffee cake is divine, the kolaches are a must-try, and if you’re feeling adventurous, go for the snickerdoodle latte with a scone if you are unsure what to get. Enjoy live entertainment on their charming patio from Thursday to Saturday, between 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM.
3. Encantada (Sunday Brunch Must-Do)
Encantada is the new kid on the block and immediately is already one of the best restaurants in town, but it’s already making waves with its elevated Mexican cuisine and riverside ambiance. If you loved El Monumento, good news—it’s under new ownership but still just as delicious. Get the tres leches French toast like I did; you will thank me later. In addition to brunch, they are open for lunch and dinner. This would make a great date night spot or a great spot to eat at before hitting Blue Hole Park since it’s literally right next to it. Located at 205 W 2nd St, Georgetown, TX 78626.
4. Monument Cafe
A Georgetown institution, Monument Cafe is where you go for classic diner vibes and even better food. Their brunch drink flight is a thing of beauty, featuring a Bloody Mary, two types of mimosas, and a blackberry margarita. Plus, their pies are legendary. I cannot recall what I had to eat here other than the biscuits but I know that whatever it was, it was so good we almost went back the next day to have breakfast here again. Located at 500 S Austin Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626.
5. 2020 Market
Part upscale market, part bistro, all delicious. 2020 Market is perfect for a classy dinner before heading out for a night on the town. A glass of wine is a must, and if you make it for happy hour, you can enjoy $5 cocktails and half-off appetizers. Their signature cocktails were super colorful. We tried two of the appetizers the Red Chile Pork Skillet a New Mexico-style pork slow braised in a guajillo & ancho pepper sauce, pickled red onions, grilled flour tortillas and the Fire Roasted Brussels made with sea salt, pecans, fresno peppers, apples, shaved parmesan, Texas bourbon-molasses, and hickory bacon. Both were made with fresh ingredients and excellent. Located at 1500 Rivery Blvd. Suite 1100, Georgetown, Texas 78628.
6. Tejas Meat Supply
If you love Texas BBQ but also appreciate a refined touch, Tejas Meat Supply is where you need to be. They serve up premium meats, delicious sandwiches, and charcuterie boards that pair perfectly with a cold beer. I love their loaded barbecue fries. They are also a full-service butcher shop. Located at 101 E 7th St, Georgetown, TX 78626,
7. Rivery Coffeehouse & Bagels
This cozy little spot is ideal for a sweet treat or a quiet place to work while enjoying an expertly crafted latte. The dessert menu rotates, but if they have the chocolate mousse, order it immediately. Plus, they offer authentic New York Bagels sourced from NY. Located at 1500 Rivery Blvd Suite 2155, Georgetown, TX 78628.
8. Wildfire
Located in a historic building in downtown Georgetown, Wildfire is a classic steakhouse serving up hearty Texas cuisine with a fine-dining touch. The steak is always a solid choice, but their brunch is also fantastic if you’re in the mood for something a little more indulgent. I noticed that when I asked locals where to eat, this was almost the answer every single time. Located at 812 S Austin Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626.
9. 600 Degrees Pizzeria & Drafthouse
No food list is complete without a great pizza place, and 600 Degrees is the best in town. Their giant New York-style slices will satisfy any pizza craving, and the craft beer selection is just as impressive. Located at 124 E 8th St, Georgetown, TX 78626.
