Discover Driftwood
Local wines abound to complement everything from the tangy barbecue to the handmade pasta you will find in Driftwood. Let’s talk barbecue! Selections range from beef brisket to turkey with Texas-style flavors of cumin, chili and cayenne peppers. Finish with homemade chocolate pecan pie. It may be Texas, but it tastes like Tuscany biting into creamy pasta riddled with cheeses. Are you in the mood for fresh? Dine on grilled asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes and basil on a garden patio. If you’re looking for something country, have a seat at a picnic table under a mesquite tree and enjoy a plate of classic American fare. From the snap of a turkey club to the comfort of a chicken-fried steak, there is something for everyone.
