Kingsland Guidebook
Breakfast
The BEST donuts we’ve ever had! Their apple fritter, bavarian creme, and bear claw are our favorites either for breakfast or a quick dessert. If you’ve never had a texas sized kolache, try out their jumbo jalapeno and cheese kolache - so good! They also have an amazing bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. And if you’re looking for a hangover cure- they’ve got red bull and coffee to go with the breaded goods to get you started on your day!

Our favorite coffee shop that rivals any Starbucks. Our personal favorites are the Vietnamese iced coffee, Jubilee Brulee (similar to a caramel frap), or the french toast latte.

Grocery Store
HEB is our local grocery store and will have all the basics you need plus more. Some of our favorite items there are their pre-packaged meals that you can just pop into the oven after a long day at the lake, their HEB branded ice-creams- which we happen to think are better than the blue bell, or their two bite brownies when in stock! This is extremely close so if you forget anything, it’s only 3 minutes away!

Lunch/Dinner
Have you seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie?! Grand Central Cafe is the actual building that the movie was filmed in. This was moved to Kingsland, TX, and is now the Cafe. We love stopping by for a sandwich or burger for lunch or their chicken fried steak! They also have a full service bar if you need a place to unwind.

Live music can be heard sitting outside our balcony on Fridays and Saturdays from Wakepoint. If you want to get up close to the action, you can quickly drive over the bridge and hang out and watch the live music, have a drink, or grab some BBQ from the food truck. Go through the convenience store to the open lawn or a little further to the upstairs barn. We love going there just to hang out with friends and listening to music with a cold beer.

Scenic and on the water with a great menu that has more than just burgers. They’ve even got swings in the water for a great photo opportunity. There’s a full bar plus live music, so you can spend quite a bit of time hanging out there. We love to grab a drink, look out on the water, and just snack on their sweet potato fries!

The best Mexican food around hands down! They have barbacoa all week long - not just the weekend! Their burritos and fajitas are some of our favorites. A lot of the restaurants in town are closed on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but El Bracero is open every single day!

"The Slab" is a popular gathering point on the Llano River just upstream from Kingsland. There is plenty of sand for sunbathing, picnics, games, etc. The water is shallow and perfect for wading. It is a great place to bring the children.
The lazy Llano River drifts over large outcroppings of granite which creates pools of inviting, cool water during the warm summer months. Near the bridge, currents begin to pick up speed to flow through narrow row siphons. The water then gently cascades down the river into Lake LBJ.
