road food, restaurants

I am travelling a lot at the moment. When I am on the road I like to find little out of the way restaurants that may or may not be a pleasant surprise - for the palate and road weary bones.
The Tin Roof in Boerne Texas is a good place to start this blog. The restaurant was once an auto repair garage that was gutted by a previous owner and then converted into an eatery. The large overhead garage doors are still in place above the diners. The restaurant boasts a number of steaks (it is Texas, after all). The offered mushroom soup was surprisingly good, as was the side salad. The steaks were all right, nothing spectacular - my top sirloin was over peppered. The wine list showed no Texas vinyards - pity. The waiter had been there a week at this writing. All in all it is an OK place. As an afternote - the martini was watered down and small.
