Living in the state of Texas is amazing for so many reasons but one of the best things about living here is all the delicious food options.

And it’s not just one certain thing, all foods are represented in Texas, and they’re all done very well.

Obviously, Texas barbecue has created a huge name for itself, but the seafood, Mexican food, and down-home comfort food is so good too. The fantastic food options are endless in the lone star state. 

We could spend all day talking about all the delicious food options in the state of Texas. 

But you know for any restaurant to make this list, all these locations must be making delicious food options for their customers, so I really want to try all these restaurants now. This could be your Texas restaurant bucket list.
