Iola, TX

For many years The Dixie Chicken has been College Stations’ most famous watering hole. Located right across from campus on Northgate, The Dixie Chicken offers good food, good beer and a good time.

When you arrive at the “Chicken”, as it’s known locally, you will walk through old saloon doors and be immediately greeted by tables of students, families and Aggies playing dominoes and chomping down on burgers, beef jerky among other good ol’ Texas cooking. One of their most famous appetizers are the Texas Toothpicks (fried jalapenos and onion strips).

The restaurant features a rustic wooden décor, blares Texas country music and is perfect for game days (though prepare for the crowds). This truly is a must-visit for any first-time to College Station. For more information about the lifestyle in College Station, visit www.kingoaks.com.

May 10th and 11th, 2008 was not only the annual Spring Parade of Homes in the Bryan College Station area. It was also the Builders Fair at King Oaks in Grimes County. Representing Century 21 Beal, Inc. was Steve Thomas. Some of the other companies involved were Culligan Water (James Garner), KB Septic (Kenneth Butts), Farm Bureau Insurance (Jessica Bundren), and Advanced Tree Care (Larry Finch). Buppy's catered the 2-day affair which saw several hundred visitors touring the development and the construction. Two houses were on the Parade of Homes Tour-one by Texas 3 Builders (Russell Oliver, builder and Steve Thomas, Realtor), and one by Taute Construction (Bill Taute, Builder). The weather was absolutely beautiful and brought more light to the beautiful development and it's close proximity to the Bryan College Station area!
