Their more casual and touristy spot is Perla's on South Congress...but this spot is a bit more elevated and where the locals go. Their lobster rolls are amazing.

People will tell you that Franklin's is the best BBQ. Now don't get me wrong, it's great but not worth the 5 hour wait you'll have to be able to order. Salt Lick is a bit of a drive, about 45 m, but it's worth it.

Smaller Whole Foods than the flagship on Lamar and 5th (which is worth visiting) but it's a lot closer, just a smaller selection. Side note, there's also a Target and CVS in the same building.
