Tex Mex
Hector’s Mexican Food Restaurant opened this summer in the old Ranch House Restaurant location, where owner and chef Hector Perez really knows his way around the kitchen. He was also the chef at the Ranch House for 25 years. The name indicates the specialty of the restaurant is Tex Mex, but don’t let that deter anyone who is in the mood for something else. The weekend specials include grilled salmon, fillet mignon and prime rib. Believe it or not, on Sunday from noon to 3 p.m., the special is turkey and dressing.
The menu includes a selection of fried catfish, homemade meatloaf, steaks, chicken breasts and blackened tilapia. If you are in the mood for Tex Mex food, then Hector’s is certainly the right place to be. On the menu you will find Shrimp Hector, Steak Ranchero, Chicken Ala Parilla, fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, soups and salads. You will even find a vegetarian fajitas dish on the menu.
Hector’s is at 1900 W. Main St., Gun Barrel, TX 75156, 903-887-1179. The hours are Mon – Sat, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Burgers
“Best burgers on the lake” is what fans of Kamman’s Deli in Log Cabin on the south side of Cedar Creek Lake say about the restaurant housed in the Exxon Station and convenience store on Highway 198. The deli serves food from 5 a.m. to the evening hours, you will find all kinds of breakfast foods, burgers and other sandwiches, fried chicken, pizza and whatever else you might want whipped up, if they have the ingredients.
The cook will even ask if you want your French fries soft or crispy. It is the only cafe in Log Cabin, but it happens to be a good one with many regulars who enjoy visiting with each other while they eat. There are plenty of tables and chairs for eating in, and they of course prepare to go orders as well.
