February has been an exciting month for food lovers around Lake Texoma. Early in the month Pelican’s Landing at Cedar Mills Marina opened up just in time for Valentine’s Day. Closed by the 2015 floods, the restaurant has been completely rebuilt and is ready to serve up it’s delicious food. Their new hours will be Thursdays from 4 pm to 9 pm; Friday from 11 am to 9 pm; Saturday from 8 am to 9 pm and Sunday from 8 am to 8 pm.
Poppy’s at the Point at Grandpappy Point Resort Marina reopened this week, on February 18th. Poppy’s took over management of the Point Bar and Grill just before the 2015 floods. Before they could really get settled in the rains came and they moved everything up the hill to the Pavilion. Now the full service restaurant and bar has been completely refurbished and they are all ready to start serving up delicious appetizers, salads, wings, burgers and sandwiches. Their hours are Thursday from 4:30 pm to 8 pm; Friday 11:30 am – 10 pm; Saturday from 11:30 am to 11 pm and Sunday from 11:30 am to 7 pm.
Both of these fine restaurants have been missed and we are glad to see them open once again. Accessible by boat or by land, you can relax with beautiful views of Lake Texoma while you dine.
On land, a new restaurant, 2 Amigos has opened at Tanglewood Crossing at the entrance to Tanglewood Resort and Conference Center in Pottsboro. Rave reviews from everyone who has tried this delightful Mexican Restaurant. If you are in a rush, 2 Amigos has a drive thru window for takeout.
Also located in Tanglewood Crossing, Beaches and Cream is open with their ice cream flavor of the week. Haven’t tried the Bacon Jalapeño Country Vanilla flavor yet, but if it has bacon it is has to be good! Everything on this menu is yummy whether it has bacon or not.
In downtown Pottsboro another landmark, Roma’s, celebrated their 11th anniversary in February. One bite of their fabulous Italian faire and you will know why they have been open so long. This family owned restaurant puts their heart and soul into everything they serve.
The next time you head to Lake Texoma, be sure to bring your appetite and try some of these new eateries and old favorites.
