Consumers Guide to Delectable Eats in Kingsland

If you’re new to the area or are just stopping for a short visit or vacation, we’re excited that you’ve come to Kingsland! You’ve gotta eat at some point - what will it be today? Maybe a morning cup o’ Joe and some good ol’ Texas barbeque for lunch will suit you well. If you’re looking for somewhere to get a nice bite to eat, check out these delicious and local eats!

Grand Central Cafe

Located on the Antler’s Inn grounds in Kingsland, Grand Central Cafe was started by two like-minded individuals (Rick Gregory and Drew Gerencer) who wanted tourists to be able to enjoy a delicious breakfast and lunch without spending an arm and a leg. While they used to only be open for breakfast and lunch, they were getting high demand requests to stay open for dinner. If that doesn’t tell you how delicious their food is, I don’t know what will!

The cafe is closed Monday and Tuesday, but open Wednesday-Sunday from 8am - 2pm and Wednesday-Saturday 5pm - 9pm.

Spyke’s Bar-B-Que

You can never go wrong with getting (at least a pound of) brisket each time you walk into Spyke’s Bar-B-Que, but that’s not the only thing on their menu! You can stuff your belly to the brim on turkey, sausage, chicken, and ribs galore. If you’re looking for some true, award-winning, Texas barbeque, you’re going to the right place.

Spyke’s Bar-B-Que is closed Sunday and Monday, but open Tuesday-Thursday 11am - 3pm and Friday-Saturday 11am - 7pm.

Kingsland Coffee Company

“We serve the best!” is their motto, and they’re aren’t too far off! Some would say that Kingsland Coffee Company serves the best of the best. Owned and operated by the same individuals who opened Grand Central Cafe, Rick Gregory and Drew Gerencer, Kingsland Coffee Company has now moved and opened their new location at The Antler’s Inn.

Kingsland Coffee Company is open Monday-Saturday 7am - 4pm and Sunday 7am - 12pm.

El Bracero Mexican Restaurant

Ask any local around here for some good, authentic, Mexican cuisine and they’ll point in the direction of El Bracero. They begin serving breakfast tacos and burritos each morning at 6am (except Sundays when they begin at 7am), where their staff is bound to make you feel right at home.

El Bracero is open Monday-Saturday 6am - 9pm and Sunday 7am - 9pm.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 20)

GOOD. Water stained; 65 degrees; 0.25 feet below pool. Crappie are fair on minnows in 12-20 feet of water on brush. Channel and blue catfish are good on punch bait in 20-24 feet of water over drop-offs and rock piles. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Bass are very good with catches up 6-8 pounds in the grass with chatterbaits, rattle traps and crankbaits. Brush piles in 8-15 feet with shad colored crankbaits, and 7-10 inch June bug or pumpkin worms. Bass are under the docks with ⅜ ounce jigs and frogs. The morning bite has been best. Crappie are good with minnows over brush piles. Report by Charles Whited, Barefoot Fishing Tours. Bass are good working docks and bulkheads with creature baits, worms and flukes. A frog or topwater around underwater vegetation is working well. Do not forget a wakebait in those same areas. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs. This lake has a lot of vegetation in shallow water. Focus on these areas near deeper water, 10 feet, has been loaded with fish with creature bait, or Texas rigged worms. Fish are not very big but good numbers can be caught. Back of canals in shallow water under docks with a weightless senko. Water is stained more than normal so fish will relate to structure and banks. Report by Randal Frisbie, Central Texas Fishing Guide, LLC.
