College Station, Texas (Veg Dining)
Another place I frequent for work is College Station Texas. Fortunately I have found several good places to eat their as well. The best is definitely Excel Cafe. This is a quirky and mid-to-high-end (for College station) that does fresh ingrediants, great attention to detail, and well prefared food. They have several veggie choices in the form of roasted vegetable sandwich, brick oven pizzas, and pastas. They have agreat beer selection and the wait staff is helpful and quirky too. Anything with chocolate in it for the dessert course will be a win.
Another great option is Abuela’s, for fine dining Mexican. They have many veg choices including spinach enchiladas, chilli rellenos, quesadillas, and their potato side is much better to get than rice. Their margarita’s are yummy too. In the same shopping center as Abuela’s is a Japanese Teppanyaki style restaurant where you can get the veggie teppanyaki. Who doesn’t like a steaming onion volcano? If you want to do the Teppanyaki dining experience (which is fun) at least 3 of you have to order it. Or you can sit at the regular tables and order off the the standard japanese fare menu.
My other favorite place is Free Birds. There are at least 2 of them around town, and this is a great lunch spot. This is a Texas based chain (which has now spread beyond Texas) which is like Chipotles but in my opionion much better. You can get your burrito, quesadilla, salad, with grilled veggies and veg beans, no problem. The staff have great attitudes. They have a fantastic salsa and salad dressing selection too. They also have local to Texas beers. I always enjoy sitting under the 700 lb Harley suspended in the air over my head, adds to the experience.
Places to stay: Definitely the Residence Inn, absoulately beautiful rooms that are all suites with a full kitchen. They have a free full breakfast in the morning and light dinner and bad beer/wine at least two to three nights a week. The gym is excellent and they have an indoor pool too. In walking distance to Abuela’s.
