312 W Main St; mains $7-11; 11am-10:30pm Wed, Thu & Sun, to

Named after local legend Hondo Crouch, this hoppin' place caters to your
need for both food and fun, with live music on the patio five nights a week. It's famous
for its 'donut burger', which has more to do with the way the patty is formed than the ac-
tual ingredients.

; 310 E Main St; mains $7-28; 11am-4pm & 5-9pm Wed-Mon)
A
great compromise when only some of you want schnitzel, this place serves both American
and German dishes, mostly under $20, though the steaks can get a little spendy. Its shady
patio is a great place to hang out - and one of the
only
places to go on a Monday night.
