Blue Cactus Cafe-Wetmore Store   

That buzz you hear on entry to Blue Cactus Cafe is the revival of the lost art of conversation over a satisfying meal. After all, the place does offer plenty to talk about. Located in the historic building that once served as the Wetmore General Store and Post Office, Blue Cactus Cafe's rustic wooden facade and homey dining areas (complete with antlered trophy mounts) harbor a family-friendly atmosphere. The Welcome to Texas sign anchored flush to the dining room ceiling also speaks volumes about the easygoingness of the place. If you've got the family in tow, feel free to turn the little ones loose in the Kids Corral play area. On the menu, the brisket is a top seller -- though parties of four or more favor the Pig-Out Platters that offer four barbecue meats and three sides to boot. The weekday lunch specials are mostly under $7 and include sides and a soft beverage. Draft and bottled beer, wine and margaritas are also available. It's a musical potpourri Thursdays through Sundays when The Blue Cactus Cafe hosts bluegrass, rock, rockabilly and more. Inside or out (weather permitting), the scene is vintage Texas. If all that doesn't loosen up your tongue for some table talk, nothin' will.
