Wild-caught seafood, a 99% gluten-free kitchen, community tables, and a full bar, no bluster, no fuss, all at Lamar Union.
What brings you to a place you've never been and makes you feel instantly comfortable? It's rarely one thing. It's usually a lot of little things. Frosty brews. Honest food. A porch swing. Which brings us to TLC, where patios and porch swings welcome onesies and Western wear alike, and togetherness is our signature dish.
Pick your catch. Pick your heat. Pick your sauce. Texas corn and red potatoes are in the pot. Everything else is up to you, from mild Smoked Garlic to the four-fire Flame Thrower. This isn't small-plate worship. This is the kind of food that sticks to your ribs and calls for fingers, not forks.
