Piney Creek Chop House
Upscale Dining • Get Directions
Tucked into the historic district, Piney Creek is the spot for a proper night out — expertly cooked steaks, a piano bar, and brick-walled elegance with small-town warmth. Ideal if you're making a real occasion of the evening.
Old Town Restaurant and Bar
Casual Pub • Get Directions
A historic downtown pub that's been the hometown after-work hangout for years. Big menu, wide beer and wine list, and the kind of easy, no-fuss atmosphere that's perfect for grabbing a bite before curtain.
The Grace Miller, "Gracie's"
Southern comfort food • Get Directions
Ask any local and they'll point you to Gracie's for chicken-fried steak — nine-time award winner, and a Bastrop institution. Expect hearty, homestyle Southern cooking, a cozy vintage dining room, and a patio with live music when the weather's right.
