A Taste of History – Texas Restaurants That Have Lasted Over 100 Years

The thing about Texas is that it's not only a vast state, but also one with a rich history. Founded in 1845, the Lone Star State has a rich past, and food is a big part of that. Some of the restaurants that call Texas home have been around almost as long as the state itself.

Many Texas restaurants have withstood the test of time. While most of the early restaurants you would expect to be steaks and BBQ, many of those that have been around for over a century are anything but. Many of these restaurants were started by immigrants who moved to Texas.

If a restaurant has been around for centuries, you know they’re doing something right! It keeps bringing in food lovers from generation to generation.  Just imagine what these restaurants have survived over the years, all the economic struggles, wars, the ever-changing culinary scene, and of course, COVID, and these restaurants have survived it all.
