For Eatin’, Drinkin’ and Sleepin’:
These are a few of our favorite restaurants in the Kerrville area.
- The Rails, 615 East Schreiner St. Located in the restored historic 1915 Kerrville Train Depot. The San Antonio Express-News calls Rails “a small gem polished with local flavor and a bit of history.” This has to be one of Kerrville’s best restaurants. Excellent food, wine menu, and mouth watering dessert selections. We have never been disappointed at the Rails – always top notch. And there is a lovely, relaxing outside eating area. Great place to start with a sparkling wine to unwind before your meal. You can get more info at: http://www.railscafe.com
- Francisco’s Restaurant, 201 Earl Garrett. Right in the heart of downtown Kerrville, Francisco’s Restaurant is a great place to catch lunch or dine in the evening. There is plenty of space outside under umbrellas for casual, and a cozy inside to enjoy your meal. We recently had the lunch soup and salad (excellent) and met the current owner Perla, and Paco, the original owner of Francisco’s. Great place to eat!

- Taco to Go, 428 Sidney Baker (corner of Schreiner St.) This is a family run business open since 1987. Taco to Go is the place to go for a quick, freshly made taco (breakfast or lunch). Their huevos rancheros stacks up well against those you get at the pricier eaterias. * Note they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays to give their workers a break. Great place to eat in, or pick up take out. Your friends will love you for bringing the tacos!

- Pint & Plow Brewing, 332 Clay St. This place was highly recommended to us by a local. Beautiful outside dining available as well as inside. It looks like a great place to meet up for just a coffee, a salad, more substantial meal, or to check out their brewery. We are definitely going to try this when we return to Kerrville.

- Mamacita’s Restaurant, 214 Junction Hwy, Kerrville. For a full blown Mexican meal, with plenty of seating this is the place to go. You will find all your favorite Tex-Mex dishes here at Mamacita’s.

- Elm Water Hole, in the Lobby of the Y.O. Ranch Hotel. You’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time when you open the heavy wooden and stained glass doors.
For a place to stay while in Kerrville:
- Of course, the Historic Y.O. Ranch Hotel has to be our favorite. The hotel is full of antiques and artifacts, the spirit of the Wild West with an elegant flare.
