Lockhart is a small town 30 minutes from Eden’s Cove. This nice town is not as well developed as Bastrop, but it features an old town square and they organize events around the square often. The First Friday of every month the merchants all stay open late and the town comes alive. If you are lucky enough to spend a First Friday in Lockhart, be sure to ask where the cheesecake it. And I highly recommend you have dinner at the Lockhart Bistro.
Lockhart has a reputation for BBQ. This small town has more than its fair share of notorious BBQ restaurants. Austin Eater published a nice article about the four main Lockhart BBQ spots in June 2016. If you’re not sure which Lockhart BBQ to try, then google that article and it’ll give you the run down (https://austin.eater.com/2016/6/16/11954976/lockhart-texas-barbecue-where-to-eat).

Los Flores is a Cedar Creek landmark. This small dive cooks up a mean Mexican plate. They have a lengthy menu and a very spicy salsa bar. This is cheap Tex-Mex where you can get good local food fast, but nothing fancy and you might hear the locals discussing the most recent mountain lion sighting.
