With support from local organizations and a commitment to homemade dishes, Roxie’s aims to become a new favorite spot for families in the area.
Buda Welcomes New Family Dining Experience with Roxie’s
Exciting things are on the horizon for the folks in Buda, Texas! The beloved Salt Lick BBQ is set to expand its culinary footprint by launching a shiny new family-style restaurant called Roxie’s. This charming addition to Buda’s dining scene pays homage to tradition, as it’s named after Scott Roberts’ grandmother, Roxanna Roberts, who was renowned for her delicious home-cooked meals.
The Historic Location
Roxie’s will make its grand debut in the historic Buda Mill and Grain Co. building, a spot already filled with local history and warmth. Expect to see Roxie’s opening its doors sometime this spring, bringing a fresh flavor to the Buda community. Locals can get ready for a culinary experience that tugs at the heartstrings, as the menu will reflect the family meals that Roxanna Roberts once served.
A Taste of Nostalgia
What can diners look forward to? Think fried chicken and chicken-fried steak, all served with warm, fluffy yeast rolls and generous family-style sides. If sharing comforting meals with loved ones sounds like your idea of a perfect outing, Roxie’s aims to provide exactly that. For those who may prefer a quicker lunch, the menu will also feature individual options like smoked turkey and chopped beef sandwiches.
Fresh Beginnings
The opening of Roxie’s follows the closure of Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ, who previously occupied the Buda Mill space. This new venture not only breathes fresh life into the location but also embodies a vision that has been brewing in Scott Roberts’ heart for the last decade. Community-driven dining experiences are clearly a priority, as Roxie’s is poised to keep the local spirit alive and gain a following among Buda families.
Community Support
Roxie’s is not just being embraced by the family of Salt Lick BBQ but is also receiving support from the Buda Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) and the city of Buda. They are offering a tempting package that includes a 25% sales tax rebate over three years—approximately $37,500—in addition to up to $10,000 in permit fee assistance. This collaboration shows a united front dedicated to fostering local businesses and enhancing community dining experiences.
Deep Local Roots
Scott Roberts’ connection to Buda runs deep. Having attended Buda Elementary and boasting close family ties in the area, his personal attachment to the community shines through in this project. Roxie’s is more than just a restaurant; it’s an extension of his passion for food and family traditions that resonate with residents.
Open Daily
As plans stand, Roxie’s will operate daily, offering both lunch and dinner services. With a strong emphasis on homemade dishes and a commitment to community values, it seems that the restaurant is destined to be a gathering space for families looking to bond over shared meals.
An Exciting Future
The anticipation is palpable as Buda prepares to welcome Roxie’s into its culinary landscape. This new family restaurant concept not only pays tribute to cherished family recipes but also enriches the community fabric of Buda. Be ready to indulge in a taste of nostalgia and create new memories when Roxie’s opens its doors—here’s to good food and the cherished moments around the dining table!
