Every so often you stumble on a restaurant where the food is
so unexpectedly good that you have to wonder why doesn’t everyone know this
place? Why am I just discovering it? Eve’s
Café On the Square, in Lampasas, Texas is that place. Lampasas is not
exactly a tourist destination, nor is it known for great restaurants. It is the
seat of Lampasas County, in Central Texas, about 30 miles west of Killeen – and
as it turns out, there is at least
one great eatery in town.

Rudy’s Bar-B-Q - Killeen, Texas
Don’t let the gas pumps out front fool you. Yes, Rudy’s
sells gasoline, but that’s not why we go there. It’s the barbecue that makes
Rudy’s a destination for hungry people. It’s a no frills kind of place. You order your food on your way in, and find a spot at a picnic type table either
inside or on the patio. Then you sit there with the fabulous aroma of barbecue wafting
over you until you are certain you can’t stand to wait another minute to
eat.

Storm’s Drive-In – Lampasas, Texas
It is extremely rare these days to find nineteen
fifties’ style drive-in restaurants. Even more rare are the original such
places – drive-ins that actually started back in the era of Elvis Presley, Bill
Haley and the Comets, and ‘DA’ haircuts. Some of today’s drive-ins are modern
interpretations, but many of them fall short of creating the same kind of feel
as the originals. One of the few such original – real - drive-ins, is Storm’s
Drive-In, with locations in Lampasas, Burnet, Marble Falls, Kingsland, and
Hamilton, Texas.
