Rick Murray in front of
the massive doors of the "pit."
In January, Rick Murray, best known as a top chef and owner of Cibo Vino's, opened ciboBQ in the location previously occupied by Lou Viney. This restaurant is devoted to the fine art of traditional Texas BBQ with slow cooked brisket, pork shoulder, ribs, sausange and red hot links.
The meat is cooked over hickory and red oak in the room-size "pit". Sides are kept to the basics that say, "This is the real deal." Potato salad, coleslaw, beans and peach cobbler.

Try your favorites at the new
Chinese & Asian restaurant,
Oriental House
The Oriental House brought more than Chinese food to town. Their buffet features Thai and other specialties as well. Plus, it's one of the very few eateries that's open 7 days a week, 11:00 am - 8:00pm.
The food is fresh and flavorful and the prices are family friendly. Lunches start at $4.99. The lunch buffet is $6.95. The dinner buffet is Monday-Friday starting at 5:00 pm and all-day Saturday and Sunday for $7.95. Discounts for children and seniors are available.
Testimony to the popularity of the new restaurant, the parking lot is jammed at lunch and dinner. Arrive slightly after lunch or before the dinner rush and you're more likely to find more room in the parking lot and in the dining rooms.
