The post Our Favorite Restaurants at Round Top, TX appeared first on Original Art, Antique Maps & Prints.
]]>There is an almost bewildering choice from small “shacks” and food trucks to restaurants that like to think that they are gourmet restaurants.
I have to admit that when we are doing Round Top, we don’t get to eat out as much as we would like to. Our Blue Hills at Round Top location stays open until 6pm most nights of Antique Week, and even though that’s not too late, by the time we close up all David and I are ready for is a shower and sleep! But over the many years that we have been coming to Round Top we have eaten in quite a few restaurants. If you are coming to Round Top from the Big City, (well, most towns qualify as the Big City in comparison with Round Top’s population of 93) remember that restaurants close early here – best to find somewhere to eat before 8pm.
When we do get out and about here are some of our choices, plus recommendations.
Royer’s Round Top Cafe
Round Top,TX
They describe their food as “sophisticated comfort food”, also famous for their pies. Large portions. Need reservations several days ahead for dinner during Antiques Week. Gets very busy.

]]>This Spring 2016 Round Top is going on from Saturday 19th of March to Saturday 2nd of April. There are a whole bunch of different venues to shop for antiques, some open even before March 20th and all the shows are in full swing with the opening of Big Red Barn on Monday March 28th 2016 and Marburger Farms on Tuesday 19th March. You could say that the core of Antique Week is going to be Monday March 28th through Saturday April 2nd. Everyone will be open, but some of the best things may already be gone! By Sunday 3rd April everyone is packing up with many antique dealers on their way home.
During Round Top we sell antique maps, prints and original works of art at one of the best locations of all the shows : Blue Hills at Round Top in Barn A. Come and see us. There is more information about Round Top on our Blog. Check out our show schedule for more Round Top dates.

]]>Being out here in the middle of the rolling green hills of Round Top, TX is beautiful, and now there are options for getting WIFI.
Many people connect through their accommodation, and that would be the best bet, as the places below can get busy at peak times, meaning a very slow connection.
Zapp Hall Beer Garden in Warrenton, TX
The Lounge at Marburger Farm has WIFI, and encourages all Bloggers to sit down and write about the show whilst you are there.
Oaks Family Restaurant south of Warrenton on 237 towards La Grange now also has WIFI. Sit under the trees and check your email.
If you need a computer the Round Top Family Library on the Round Top square has a couple of computer terminals. Donations are welcome, but not necessary.

If you have an RV, here is a link to local RV parks
http://www.roundtop.org/group_listing.php?group_id=rv_parks
Are you an antiques dealer? You can often park your rv at the show. Note that very few shows have sewage facilities, just water and electricity hook ups. Always ask exactly what “full hook ups” includes, you may find it is a hose, 15 Amps of electricity and some grass. I have seen some RVs having their tanks pumped by K & H Portable Toilets, telephone: (979) 836-0552. Otherwise you will need to drive to one of the local RV parks to use their dump for a fee.
