Best Restaurants in Cedar Park TX — Blue Corn Harvest’s chipotle ribeye is sensational (Credit: Blue Corn Harvest)

Well, I done did it. When I moved here from NYC six years ago, if you told me I’d end up having a kid and living in an Austin suburb, I would’ve called you insane. Yet two months ago, my wife, three-year-old, and I moved into an adorable home in Cedar Park. It’s even on a cul-de-sac for Pete’s sake. We’re officially ‘burbing.

While the cool kids in Austin proper consider Cedar Park a cultural wasteland, I’m here to set the record straight. Sure, it may not be a bastion of foodie goodness like the city’s hipper neighborhoods, but Williamson County dwellers have more than chain restaurants and fast causal to keep the taste buds tantalized.

Here’s an insider’s guide about where to eat in this fine town of friends and families, including a couple spots just outside the city limits.
