Royers Round Top Cafe - Round Top, TX

Bud Royer describes his menu as “sophisticated comfort food.” It includes such delights as grilled pork tenderloin topped with peach and pepper glaze, crabmeat-and-shrimp-stuffed jalapeno peppers, a huge BLT sandwich made with grilled shrimp, and a boneless quail stuffed with cilantro-flavored grilled shrimp. Best of all are the pies, which are the best in Texas: big, beautiful, super-fruity and supersweet.

"The best pecan pie on earth? (By the way, the green area at the lower left of the photo is NOT actual leaves. It is the decoration on the china dessert plate!)"

"Royers is a relatively small place with a hugely delicious menu -- one of the country's true Roadfood gems."

"An extreme close up of Royers' pecan pie: sweet dessert gets no better than this!"
