Thu Oct 15 08:49:24 -0700 2009 214839 Kbice 1 5105175 The Monument Cafe on Austin Ave. is very good. That's the only restaurant i've been to within the last 3 years, can't vouch for any others, sorry. http://www.themonumentcafe.com/ Also, you might have more luck posting this on the Austin board.

There is also a great little cafe whose name I can't remeber right on the corner of the square in the center of Georgetown and a great mexican dive about 2 blocks norh of the Monument Cafe, which is okay too.

Fri Oct 16 08:25:27 -0700 2009 5105160 214839 Kbice 2 5107837 You are welcome, might want to ask about BBQ on the Austin board, i know this area has good BBQ (at least better than what we are used to in Dallas). Fri Oct 16 08:44:11 -0700 2009 5107784 1084573 joanna.mcmaster 1 5108096 A side trip over to Taylor for barbecue at Louis Mueller's would be well worth your time. One of the top 5 in TX on most people's lists, top 1 or 2 for many. I've been to Monument just once; it was okay but nothing really special. Fri Oct 16 09:51:00 -0700 2009 5105160 218619 dexmat 2 5108133 I've been to Monument many times, and always good. However, not extremely recently. Like I said, Austin board could offer more help. Fri Oct 16 10:01:44 -0700 2009 5108096 1084573 joanna.mcmaster 1 5109132 I don't remember the name but, there is an Italian restaurant in Georgetown that's terrific. Shouldn't be too hard to find out, though. And yes, a side trip to Taylor for a visit to Louie Mueller's BBQ is a must. It's #1 in my book! Fri Oct 16 16:05:14 -0700 2009 5105160 138174 twinwillow 1 5114096 We had lunch at the Monument Cafe on Saturday. I thought the food was pretty good, I would definitely eat there again. One of the waiters saw the name of my son's High School on his T-shirt. Turns out his mother is one of the Administrators at the school, a small world as they say.

Georgetown is a really cute little town. Mon Oct 19 09:33:40 -0700 2009 5114096 1084573 joanna.mcmaster 3 5115254 We were there for Open House at Southwestern University, when the program was over we headed back to Dallas. I agree the town looks like it is real interesting. . Mon Oct 19 14:33:19 -0700 2009 5114340 214839 Kbice 4 5126722 I was told that the Monument closed. Anyone know for sure? Fri Oct 23 20:24:32 -0700 2009 5115254 83659 randyjl 5 5130231 We were just there last weekend, place was pretty busy. Sun Oct 25 17:41:54 -0700 2009 5126722 214839 Kbice 6 5141917 Glad to hear it! Thu Oct 29 19:52:42 -0700 2009 5130231 83659 randyjl 1 5143923 There is a good little Thai restaurant just off the square. Its called Dia Thai.
