Alamo Texas (South Texas, Rio Grande Valley)

Steve's Wash and Wax, 804 Frontage N, Alamo TX 956-783-8482 delivered a good RV wash and wax at a reasonable price.

Banderra Texas (Texas Hill Country)

Busbee's Bar-B-Que & Catering, 830-796-3153 at 319 Main Street, Bandera, TX 78003 is a wonderful Texas Barbecue restaurant.

Canyon Lake Texas (Texas Hill Country)

Real Pit BBQ,830-964-2619 at 14645 River Rd,juntion of FM 2673 in the Sattler area, is an example of the type of place that is pretty much unique to Texas. It has a covered outdoor eating area and carryout only with very good but not great Texas barbecue for a reasonable price. The menu is limited to a few common sides and white bread with pork, beef and chicken barbecue. The quality of the meat is consistently very good.

Granny D, 830-964-4677 at 1754 FM 2673 in the Canyon City area, does not have a fancy restaurant or ambiance. They do have good food and reasonable prices for breakfast and lunch. They are open for some dinners.

Slix Collision and Custom, 830-899-5719 at 240 Canyon Bend in the Startzville area. Our 1999 truck needed a first class paint job. It got one.

Green Storage Rental, 830-386-3118 at 13825 FM 306, in Canyon City area understands customer service. Reasonable price for storage when you need it.

Ace Hardware, 830-964-2797 at 1150 FM 2673, in the Sattler section of Canyon Lake really understands how to help and assist customers. Ace is a chain with some good stores and some bad. This store is a cut above with good service and many RV supplies.

Corpus Christi Texas (Texas Coastal Bend)

The Railroad Seafood Station, 361-883-6200 at 1214 North Chaparral Street, has more than seafood.

Donna Texas (South Texas, Rio Grande Valley)

Alan's Diesel Service, 956-464-4140 at 103 N Victoria Rd, is a good place for diesels.

Fredericksburg Texas (Texas Hill Country)

Fredericksburg is an interesting town in the middle of Texas with a German Heritage, peaches, wineries, fascinating shops, good places to eat, a hotel shaped like a ship, a home town hero of an admiral from World War II, the Museum of the Pacific War and great hill country scenery. Don't miss it.

The Museum of the Pacific War, 830-997-8600 at 340 East Main Street, has expanded from the old Nimitz Hotel (where Commander of the Pacific Fleet Admiral Nimitz grew up) into additional buildings and grounds. Well worth a visit.

Fredericksburg Pizza Kitchen, 830-990-4044, located at 326 E Main St immediately next door to the Book Store of the Museum of the Pacific War, has only a little outdoor seating. As a carryout or delivery, the pizza is the best we tasted in the Hill Country. They will deliver to Fredericksburg RV Park. To avoid a long wait due to high volume, it is best to order some time other than Friday or Saturday night.

Craig's Charlie's Grill&Golf, 830-997-3533 at 714 S. Washington Street, has recently changed hands and no longer offers BBQ. It still has great grilled burgers at reasonable prices. Open for lunch 6 days a week and dinner Fri-Sat. Located next door to Fredericksburg RV park. There is a gate from within the park through the miniature golf course.

Fredericksburg Brewery, 830-997-1646 at 245 East Main Street, has good local brew and good food.

Dooley's 5¢ 10¢ 25¢, 830-997-3458 at 131 E. Main Street, is an old fashioned variety store.

Fredericksburg General Store, 830-990-4100 at 143 East Main is another good old time general merchandise store.

, 1-800-944-1882 at 155 E Main, A nice place for unique shopping for a special holiday.

Fredericksburg RV Park, 866-324-7275 at 305 E. Highway Street, is a good RV park in the city limits and less than a mile from downtown and the Museum of the Pacific War.

Straub Machine & Welding, 830-997-8152, at 534 FM 2093 Tivydale Road, is good for custom work and reasonable prices.

Schattenbaum Garage, 830-990-6949 at 111 FM 2093, a good place to have a truck or car repaired.

Joe's RV Service, 830-997-0761, is a mobile unit working out of 735 Eberle Ln. Joe is a good dependable workman who prioritizes his work well, and he comes to you.

 

Gruene Texas (Texas Hill Country)

The Old Grist Mill, 830-625-0684 at 1287 Gruene Road, has great food at moderate prices with amazing decor and ambiance. This one is worth going out of your way to experience. Beside the Gruene Water Tower.

Gruene General Store, 830-629-6021 at 1610 Hunter Road, is a good place for unusual merchandise with the flavor of days gone bye.

 

Lockhart Texas (Texas Hill Country)

Black's Barbecue, 512-398-2712 at 215 North Main Street, is open 8 days a week (according to the sign) with great authentic Texas Barbeque.
Authentic Texas Barbeque means it does have sauce on it and does not need any.
Black's has a sauce they can give you on the side, but the Traveling Morgans never needed any.
The turkey is absolutely wonderful, and the rest of the meat also. The sides are very good.
The history of Black's is wonderful.

Smitty's Barbecue, 512-398-9344 at 208 South Commerce, is the quintessential authentic Texas Barbeque.
Authentic Texas Barbeque means it does have sauce on it and does not need any.
Smitty's has a sauce they can give you on the side, but the Traveling Morgans never needed any.
The Traveling Morgans found Smitty's a little greasy for our taste.
Many people like it that way.
Smitty's closes early on Sunday.

 

Rockport Texas (Texas Coastal Bend)

The Texas Skimmer Boat, call 877 TX BIRDS and leave from the dock at Fulton, sailing under Captain Tommy Moore is the best way to see birds of the sea shore.
It is also one of the best ways to see dolphins we have ever experienced.
We saw far more Whooping Cranes than we could by visiting the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge by car.
Our trip with Captain Tommy was simply outstanding.

Turtle Bay Cafe, 361-729-0335 at 6520 Highway 35, is in a small nondescript building north of town.
It is the type of place many people will just pass by, unless a good friend recommends it.
It has great food and reasonable prices.

Certified Auto Repair, 361-727-1554 at 1875 State Highway 35 Bypass, has done a good job for us with our diesel pickup.

 

 

San Marcos Texas (Texas Hill Country)

One Source Family Chiropractic 512-392-5750 at 1205 Hwy 123, Suite 101 in San Marcos TX is a good choice for chiropractic care.
Dr. Rafael Moreno and Dr. Sarah are the husband and wife team. Sarah works another job so her time availability is restricted.

Jason's Deli is a chain.
The one in San Marcos at 901 Texas 80 (512-393-3354) is excellent with quality food and reasonable prices.

The River Pub 512-353-3747 at 701 Cheatham Street is a great place for a good meal. You can overlook the recreation area on the San Marcos River with "tobers" and kayakers.

Tickle Blagg Animal Hospital, 512-353-1871, is across TX80 from Wal Mart at 1100 Highway 80.
It is a caring place for your pet.
Roscoe had surgery there and received excellent care.

 

Terlingua Texas (West Texas, near Big Bend National Park)

Starlight Theatre Bar and Restaurant, 432-371-2326 804 at 631 Ivey Road, is worth finding in the ghost town of Terlingua. The best food in the Big Bend area.

Wimberly Texas (Texas Hill Country near Devils Backbone)

Brewsters Pizza at 9595 Ranch Road 12, Ste. 4, 512-847-3299. Great pizza with whole wheat crust. They have others, but whole wheat pizza crust is hard to find and a good pizza with such a crust is very rare indeed.
