Food Scene
Hands down my favorite place to stop when I'm in town. Delicious food, BIG portions and great cocktails. My go-to drink is the Queens Cooler. It's a refreshing coconut cocktail that's sweet, but not too sweet. It tastes like vacation.

Awesome Happy hour, cool vibe and they have private karaoke rooms! My recommended cocktail is the Happy Ending. It's SKYY Coconut Vodka, Mango Sake, lime, and topped off with sparkling sake. Enough said.

This is a neighborhood bar/restaurant. I love it because the decor is cool but also a little ridiculous with the bat cave theme. There's also an outdoor area with a waterfall where you can sit. I love love love the cowboy meatloaf and the prickly pear margarita. Great place to go if you want good food & drink, but don't feel like going into town.

I'm a sucker for a good cookie and that's what they're known for. They make one called The Cow Puncher that has Mexican chocolate, cinnamon, cayenne and has a slice of candied jalapeno on top. It's stupidly good.

If you are unfortunate enough to live in a part of the country that doesn't have Dutch Bros coffee, you should probably try it. Pull up the menu online before you go, because there's almost too many options to consider.
