These are some of the best humble restaurants in Texas. See how many you've been to:

1. Inman's Kitchen Bar-B-Q (Llano)

There are so many barbecue restaurants in the Llano area that the smaller joints tend to get swept under the rug.

2. The Lakehouse (Kerrville)

Enjoy a casual, Southern-style meal overlooking the breathtaking Guadalupe River here at The Lakehouse. The walls are adorned with fishing tackle, Coca-cola memorabilia, and other decorations guaranteed to deliver a nice hit of nostalgia and make you feel right at home. Seafood is the way to go - the catfish is breaded in a specially-seasoned meal, fried to perfection, and served with three sides and a roll or hush puppies.
