Restaurant focuses on providing family fun
Augustus took the jug back to the porch and placed his rope-bottomed chair so as to utilize the smidgin of shade he had to work with. As the sun sank, the shade would gradually extend itself across the porch, the wagon yard, Hat Creek, Lonesome Dove and, eventually, the Rio Grande.
One of the opening lines in Larry McMurtrys Western novel Lonesome Dove, the book that inspired owner Drew Gressett to name his restaurant Hat Creek Burger Co., encompasses what Gressett envisions his business becoming.
We are striving to become a place where families can bring their kids, sit in a rocking chair and have a beer, said Gressett, who opened the restaurant as an Austin food trailer in 2008. As we have evolved, we are focusing more and more on family. Every decision we have made is about what it does for our family concept.
More than six months after opening the Georgetown location Nov. 8, Gressett said he is appreciative of the communitys response.
