RestaurantLong Draw Pizza
Pesto pizza of the day—crisp, blistered crust with a bold herb bite.

Venga Cafe stacks Texan charm with a modern, artsy edge. The Smashburger delivers a crisp crust and a juicy patty, with sharp pickles and caramelized onions meeting a molten cheese layer. Turkish Eggs lay over tangy labneh, kissed with za'atar, while the Fajita Plate sizzles on a skillet with peppers, onions, and fluffy tortillas. Outdoor seating wraps the scene, and the vibe stays relaxed enough for families and hikers to linger over a second cup.
