Mount Pleasant Restaurants

The northeast Texan town of Mount Pleasant, perched on the edge of the Piney Woods, is a popular destination for campers. The town is also a hub for great food. American, Southern and Mexican fare is abundant in the area. If you’re in the mood for comfort food, local diners exude a cozy feel while serving up juicy hamburgers and huge mounds of cheese-covered, home-cut French fries. You should also sample the authentic Texas barbecue. Order up a smoked brisket or succulent pulled pork and choose from coleslaw, corn, cucumbers, potato salad, green beans or peach cobbler for your sides. Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is also prevalent with menu items including the Durango burrito, carnitas enchiladas and bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp fajitas.
