What: Everything from burgers to steaks
A number of weeks ago, folks on the Motorycle Tourer's Forum (http://forums.delphiforums.com/MCTourer/) decided to do a Ride To Eat at the Yacht Club in Bastrop, TX. I wasn't able to make it (time, not distance, being the problem), but figured if it was worth Ride To Eat status, it'd be worth a visit.
I had a chance to subsequently eat there, and it's a fun place. It's in a quaint little set of tourist trap-, er, shops right by the bridge over the Colorado River in downtown Bastrop.
I had the burger, which was a juicy, messy bit of cholesterol-soaked heaven on sourdough. :twisted:
The atmosphere is nice, the view of the river is pleasant, and it's just minutes from Park Road 1 in Bastrop State Park (http://www.twtex.com/viewtopic.php?t=203). :chug:

Where:
Yacht Club, 601 Chestnut St., Bastrop, TX
512-321-2545
Directions: Head Southeast from Austin on Hwy 71, or take 95 to get to Bastrop. Get on the 150 loop (which is also 21 per MapQuest (http://www.mapquest.com)) and make your way to the 'historic district'. Chestnut St. is essentially an alley that is the first turn east of the Colorado River, and is the site of a bunch of eclectic little shops.
