Dave's Place

I go to a local barber shop, and usually Jimmy does the haircut. Jimmy is a skinny guy who likes to hunt and eat wild game. He also trains and sells horses. He gives a good haircut, and he is very interesting. We were talking about bison burgers, and he suggested Dave's Place, since there is no Fudruckers in Kerrville but, one is being built as this blog is being written (yeah!).

Dave's Place is in or near Center Point, which is about 20 miles from here. We decided to go there yesterday and quickly arrived in Center Point. After several false starts we finally had to call Dave and get directions. Finally we arrived and found an open area where we encountered Dave himself. We ordered our bison burgers and beer and walked through his aviary down to the Guadalupe River to find several seating areas with a good view. A few minutes of sitting and a friend Mike walked by and was seated nearby with his lady friend. Our names were called, and we began to enjoy our burgers. They were a bit over-cooked but acceptable. The fries and onion rings were excellent. The view superb.

Dave does not really advertise, preferring to get patrons by word of mouth. He had all types of birds in his cages and aviary. He also had a Galapagos Turtle and a baby deer that had been found nearby when his mother was killed. Someone found the baby deer and brought it to Dave since they knew he would nurse the baby and keep it alive. When we were leaving, Dave was feeding the baby a bottle, and the five-day-old deer could not get enough of the bottled milk. Quite an unusual place to get a bison burger, and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Happy travels.
