Baja BBQ Shack

Nice place for breakfast. On Wednesday mornings they host a great (but small) farmers market with fresh produce, meats, and other crafts. Farmers market is from 9-12 and they sell out pretty quickly. Miss Scarlets Texas Homegrown is the Farm name, and if you look them up, they also have a market at their farm on Saturdays. The market there is a bit bigger with more vendors and an opportunity to feed their goats
