Go early - breakfast at Maxine's is my favorite. All the locals are there from prince to postman. Its easy to find and worth the short detour off Highway 71 to Main Street in the Historic section of Downtown Bastrop. If you can't make breakfast, Friday nights feature local live music and the best chicken fried steak and catfish in Texas! Infact, check out the whole area - you'll love it. PS: Sunday mornings are sometimes packed but worth the wait!
Pros: quirky atmosphere, honest food, good people
Cons: it's addictive!
