OST Restaurant is making headlines again! Even if you see a line out front, you wait...and you'll enjoy a great breakfast 🥞 and definitely the 100+ year traditions that keep people coming back!

"In the self-proclaimed Cowboy Capital of the World, you’d expect to find some serious chicken-fried steak, and this legendary spot delivers exactly that. The building has been feeding hungry ranchers, rodeo riders, and tourists since 1921, and the recipes haven’t changed much in all that time. Sometimes you just don’t mess with perfection."

Y'all, Plan your trip! Biker Rallies of Texas Rumble on the River weekend, Medina Lake Cajun Festival and Bandera County Fair is on the horizon!
Book your stay today HERE: 👇https://www.banderacowboycapital.com/businesses/accomodations-in-bandera

Nine Texas diners serve legendary chicken-fried steak with crispy crusts, creamy gravy, generous portions, and old-school small-town charm.

From our own little neck of the woods! Thank you for all you do for our county Out Of The Way Community Corp. & Out Of The Way Café!

“We love finding organizations like this in our little corner of the Hill Country. People seeing a need, using what they have, and choosing to love their neighbors well.” 👇🏼

❤️ This is the kind of story that makes you LOVE the Hill Country.

Have you heard about Out Of The Way Community Corp. in Lakehills?

What started with two toiletry bags sitting outside Out Of The Way Cafe has grown into a nonprofit serving families throughout the community. Today, they operate 24/7 self-serve food pantries, provide free used clothing and household necessities, and currently say they’re providing FREE Friday lunches to 350+ kids. ❤️

And it all grew out of a little local restaurant with a heart for its neighbors.

Their motto pretty much says it all:

“Help whoever we can, with whatever we can, however we can — free from judgment.”

We love finding organizations like this in our little corner of the Hill Country. People seeing a need, using what they have, and choosing to love their neighbors well. 🥹

Go check out Out Of The Way Community Corp. and Out Of The Way Cafe in Lakehills and learn more about how you can support what they’re doing!
