Greetings, As Governor of Texas, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to visitors of Austin. Whether you are traveling for business or for pleasure, and whether you have come from another country, another state or just another town, Austin offers a wealth of attractions to explore and enjoy. The capital city of Texas, Austin is known around the world for its vibrant arts scene, urban lakes, outstanding public parks, world-class golf courses, extensive hike and bike trails, and close proximity to the breathtaking Texas Hill Country. Best of all, these attractions can be enjoyed year-round, as the area enjoys a temperate climate and about 300 days of sunshine every year. And no trip to Austin would be complete without extensive sampling of the city’s outstanding cuisine. From mouthwatering barbecue to juicy steaks to spice Tex-Mex, you’ll find some of the most delicious food you’ve ever sunk a tooth into. While you’re in town, make sure to stop by our beautiful and historic Texas State Capitol -- the largest state capitol in the nation. First Lady Anita Perry joins me in wishing you a wonderful time in Austin.

Sincerely,

Rick Perry, Governor 6

While eating a Texas size meal, one needs a Texas size view to accompany it. The founders of the County Line were aware of this fact when they decided to open their b-b-que restaurant alongside a breathtaking 20 mile view of the gorgeous Texas Hill Country. The County Line offers all the b-b-que favorites cooked to perfection and served in overly generous portions. Not only is the County Line the perfect restaurant to go on a first date to show your partner you don’t mess around when it comes to good food, but the County Line’s all you can eat platters can satisfy even the largest groups of people. Indulge in heaping platters of chicken, brisket and pork ribs slathered in b-b-que sauce served with a side of warm homemade bread. Meat isn’t the only menu item that makes an extraordinary b-b-que restaurant, the sides and atmosphere play a vital part as well. At the County Line, you can choose to chow down on the traditional sides of cole slaw, potato salad and beans, along with mac and cheese, fries and garlic mashed red skin potatoes. The relaxed atmosphere allows you to let your guard down and focus on the meal in front of you and the good company around you. Come enjoy a hearty, lone star meal and a view so beautiful, you’ll never want to leave the County Line. 5204 Ranch Road 2222 • (512) 346-3664 6500 Bee Cave Rd • (512) 327-1742 www.countyline.com
