Yesterday we took a road trip through Washington County, Chapell Hill, and Brenham to the thriving metropolis of Round Top, Texas, population 81. We arrived in town at about 11:15 am, just in time to get a table for lunch at Royers Round Top Cafe. They serve good burgers, salads, chicken and steak sandwiches, but, most of all, the have some of the best pies you have ever eaten. We were too full to eat the piece of peach pie there, but got it to go, even though the menu clearly states there is a 50 cent penalty for NOT having a scoop of Blue Bell ice cream on your pie (it would have melted in the car). If you get a chance, drive up to Round Top, look at the wildflowers, historic buildings and shops, and get there early for lunch (bring cash, no credit cards) and leave room for pie (in your stomach or car).
