- THROWBACK EPISODE - This episode originally aired on PBS on June 20, 2013. Some of the locations may have changed. Check thedaytripper.com for the most up-to-date information.
Many folks fly down I-35 to get to the hipsters and music of Austin, but what they don't realize is that this town is filled with adventure all its own. To those that choose to explore it, they find that this laid-back town is just as epic as its more famous neighbor.
If a place is known for having the “Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas” it’s probably a good idea to start your day trip on the square. Check out the old-fashioned and American-made toys at All Things Kids. Work on your guitar licks at Ken’z Guitars. The possibilities are endless.
Learn about the history of Georgetown and Williamson County at the Williamson Museum which is right on the Square. While you’re you can also ask the folks at the museum for a tour of the Williamson County Courthouse, where Dan Moody famously tried members of the KKK for hate crimes and won in the 1920s.
This roadside diner just serves up delicious country cooking for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and all of the ingredients are fresh and local. Though it may be hard, be sure you save room for a slice of homemade pie!
Head to El Monumento for delectable interior Mexican cuisine. You can polish off your meal with an amazing view of Blue Hole on the patio or you can saddle up to the bar and enjoy their refreshing signature shaved ice Margarita.
Grab a pick-me-up at this far-out bakery on the Square. They’ve got everything you need for a sugary afternoon snack from cookies and cupcakes to Cuvee coffee! While you can’t go wrong with any cupcake, I highly suggest the Ooh La La cupcake which is a moist chocolate cupcake, filled with dulce de leche and topped with icing, chocolate drizzles and candy. It’s messy and amazing!
Shop your way through the hot sauce shop in the front, on your way to the taco joint in the back. Stop in and try Mikey V’s award-winning salsas and hot sauces and grab authentic, handmade Texas street tacos, filled with fresh ingredients from the counter in the back. I recommend the “Flaming Cheto” I designed that comes topped with Flaming-Hot Cheetos. Mmmm.
Sadly, this restaurant has closed since we filmed our episode.
The “front porch” of Georgetown, Mesquite Creek Outfitters is the place to see and be seen. They have 16 beers on tap and over 20 wines, plus a light menu of food items. A great place to meet up with friends, chat or maybe play some games. Live music available most weekends.
The Golden Rule is a speak-easy style restaurant with a menu that has featured a variety of seasonal cuisine, including Texas fried shrimp, pecan fried chicken, and sweet glazed Brussels sprouts. The menu is subject to change, though. It also hosts a full bar with craft cocktails and an extensive whiskey collection. Open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch with table & lounge seating inside, and covered patio seating outside.
A great little place a few blocks off the square to sit, visit and enjoy a great cup of coffee, tea, beer or wine. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Has won best of Georgetown 7 years in a row. Delicious, scratch made, farm-to-table fare, with vegan/vegetarian options. Serves breakfast & lunch daily, plus dinner on Friday & Saturday.
Right outside of downtown Georgetown is the legendary Blue Hole swimming hole where you can take a dip in the San Gabriel River or just relax and take in some sun. If you get hungry after your swim, just walk back up the hill to find all sorts of eateries.
Head down under to explore what Georgetown offers below the surface. Explore this beautiful cave on foot or take a tour where you crawl through undeveleoped sections of the cave like a true adventurer!
With a group of about 10, you can do the most challenging thing in town by team building and flying high at the Georgetown Challenge Course. You’ll be climbing over rock walls, jumping across towering polls and having a blast all the while!

Proud resident from 1976-1990. LOVE me some Georgetown.
Today me and my husband had been in your headquater! It was so nice. And now I've got a new hat! Thanks for your videos which helped me to plan my trip through Texas! ❤❤❤
We were just in Georgetown today 6/2/2024, we ate at Julian’s Italian restaurant. Best lasagna I have ever had.
wow Tod has some none white hair lol... thanks for the content everyone. Your stuff has become a must watch of mine escpically as it gets cold in Michigan.
I had no idea about the court case-that’s fascinating!
9:45 unfortunately, Burger University is now permanently closed.
Cianfrani came to Georgetown in the early 90s from a family from Italy. They sold it a few years later
I know all your videos are not new for you tube but I still enjoy them.
awesome video! Headed to Georgetown in a couple of weeks!
Georgetown, it's been a while. Viva! Georgetown!!! Viva!!!
You should be in Hollywood Chet . But I'm glad your all ours !!
The "farming and agriculture" part was interesting to me especially when you see the picture in the museum. The picture makes the slavery and torture much more easily digestible. I found it interesting, that's all. I like the fact that Dan Moody took on the clan in this case.
This was filmed a long time ago. Burger U closed in 2020.
It seems like that’s happening more and more with this channel. I guess they’ve run out of new ideas.
2020? What happened that year?
Another great day
Awaiting for your trip to Weatherford
I found out that I have ancestors there , the Listens
This video was filmed 10 years ago i think 🤔
The owner of the Mexican restaurant has to be related to John Taffer! Great day trip
Greetings Day Tripper, I am local as well
..also saw that you made it to Saratoga for the Ghost Lights, but you missed the kissing statues in Magnolia cemetary in Beaumont...
Well, shoot....we were in Round Rock two weeks ago and actually were in Georgetown twice. Watched the eclipse from Garey Park.
I miss GOLD'S and Orient on the Square
What is the name and location of the mentioned Road Side Diner ? This doesn’t say anything about it
Do you have the El Paso episode
I’m confused you uploaded this video four months ago, but the coffeehouse and the burger University both closed and that was four years ago, so I’m not sure why you would upload a video four months ago. It’s supposed to be current because people that are in town would be wondering where these places are and then find out they’re closed.
Yes I was wondering the same thing(commenting 3+ months after your comment so it’s been 8 months and coffeehouse and B.U closed over 4 years ago) I miss B.U so much. Best Burgers ever.
Ever been in Petersburg, Texas
Why didn't you do Mickey Vee Hot Sauce & his Taco's in the back that's also on the square?
The episode came out before Mickey V's was established. Though its just now being released to UA-cam it came out many years ago.
@@tracywallace30 Thank you for getting back to us and letting us know.
Have you been to Granbury Texas lately?
I miss Burger University.
the mcdonalds school? really you miss a fkn mcdonalds training school?
Alan Grimsley are you Kin To Greg and Jeff from Victoria?
I bought My travel trailer from Georgetown.
There's another city also name Georgetown, Guyana South America only English speaking people and it was colonized by the United Kingdom of England
Probably was a more civilized country when it was colonized like almost all post colonization ex British territories. Such as India.
The first location is very popular but it's very dirty.
I have family all over the area of George Town and a friend that owns Urban eats that has great food also.
horrible town
@asrr62 that's OK they don't care for your kind there.
