🍔 Rodeo Goat Blew Up the Facebook Foodies Group Not Too Long Ago. Best Comment Goes To…

Guys. Literally 550 comments on this post after a nice waitress who worked there was just trying to promote the restaurant after it had been slow for a few days. It’s obvious this place has struck a nerve. When I first moved to FTW 6 years ago it wasn’t 5 minutes in when someone had recommended I try this place. This is a MUST try! Very creative flavors and very reasonably priced too.

My favorite comment of all was from Val who asked, “Will he be there? 😍 asking for a friend, of course..”

Reservations are a must, especially for weekend dinner service. Their intimate tequila tastings are a local favorite, but book ahead - they fill up fast! The complimentary house-made salsas are worth the visit alone.

Make reservations for special occasions at least a week in advance. Their wine list is exceptional, and the dry-aged steaks are a house specialty. The bar menu offers a more casual but equally delicious experience.

The first ice cream company in Texas, Blue Bell Creameries, was founded in 1907 in Brenham and is still beloved for its distinctive "Dutch-style" ice cream.

Founded by local farmers as the Brenham Creamery Company, Blue Bell began by making butter from excess cream before transitioning to ice cream production in 1911. The company, named after the Texas wildflower, has grown from producing 2 gallons of ice cream per day to becoming the third-best-selling ice cream brand in the United States.
