( 830-257-8866; 448 Sidney Baker St; mains $7-11; 11am-3pm & 5-8pm Mon-Fri, 11am-3pm Sat)
This bur-
ger joint does have sort of a classic quality to it, and its burgers and fries blow the fast-
food-chain burgers out of the water.

Grape Juice
( 830-792-9463;

;
623 Water St; mains $10-15; 11am-11pm Tue-Sat)
For us, it
was love at first sight - the sight being a little menu item called the Honey Badger that's a
ridiculously wonderful combination of 'crack'-aroni and cheese surrounded by a moat of
chili with Fritos on top. It's a somewhat undiginified dish considering the lovely wine-bar
atmosphere, which is exactly what we love about it.

to this riverside spot that looks like a big tin shed for excellent fried shrimp and Cajun-in-
