Roxie’s serves up homestyle comfort food

• I'll admit it — I haven't spent much time in Buda, mostly treating it as a pass-through on the way to San Antonio.
• Yes, but: That was a mistake. I was wowed by the vibrant downtown and wave of new development around Roxie's, with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars.

🍽️ To order: We tried a bit of everything. Start with the pimento cheese ($11.95), which is served with saltines and Ritz crackers (the only correct vessel).

• "The Experience" — an entrée with all-you-can-eat green beans, mashed potatoes, creamed corn and biscuits — is the move.
• I loved the fried chicken ($23.95), which is hand-breaded and fried to crispy perfection, but you can also opt for chicken-fried steak, pork steak, country fried chicken tenders or baked chicken as your main.
• Honestly, I could've made a meal out of the biscuits alone, which use a recipe passed down from Roberts' grandmother.

🍰 Save room for dessert: The key lime pie ($8.95) hits a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Refreshing finish after a heavy meal.

📍 If you go: Roxie's plans to roll out homestyle lunch specials in the coming weeks, ranging from $11-$13. Come hungry.

Six-word review: Worth the detour, stay for biscuits.
