Food Scene
Excellent local barbeque spot and really good hand cut steaks. Don't let the barbeque fool you though, the sides are almost as famous. Be sure to try the Cody corn- make with golden corn, cream cheese and jalepenos for a unique local taste. Really resonable prices and all you can eat sides. Get there before 7 to avoid crowds and before they run out of ribs.

Local family owned for generations, this restaurant is one of the most popular for Mexican food. Great prices and large portions means you won't be hungry an hour later. Drink specials almost daily and be sure to try the skillet apple pie with vanilla ice cream! First Fridays of each month is a downtown party and you'll want to get there early (like before 6:30) . Those nights are standing room only and about an hour wait for a table.

Getting Around
If you are flying in to Easterwood airport and need transport, this is probably the easiest option. Pick up your car at the airport when you arrive and drop it off when you leave. HOWEVER- if you are not returning to the same airport, a one way rental can cost more than your plane ticket! Check before you go.
