There’s something special about local businesses that want to make a difference and continually show that people matter. 🫶🏽🍲☕️

The Water Well Cafe is a reminder that a restaurant can be about so much more than food. It can be about faith, family, service, inclusion and community.

With Christian music playing in the background and an intentional choice not to serve alcohol, they’ve created a welcoming place where people can gather, enjoy good food, and share in fellowship.

And now, they have a NEW LOCATION, an EXPANDED MENU, and a COFFEE BAR! ☕️

Location: 1209 E. Airline Rd.

Mon-Wed: 7am-4pm
Thurs-Fri: 7am-9pm
Sat: 8am-4pm

It's National Golf month soo naturally we want to talk about our very own Riverside Golf Course! 🏌🏻🏌🏻‍♀️🏌🏿‍♂️

Whether you're playing your first round or your hundredth it's a great place for golfing. ⛳️

Nestled in the heart of Southern Texas, Riverside Golf Course is a public 18-hole golf facility that brings some of the best golf to the region. The original 18-hole course, comprising the red and white nine-hole layouts, was designed in 1945 by Ralph Plummer and opened in 1953.

Placement of tee shots is critical, with several tree-lined fairways, water hazards and strategically placed trees that have grown to the size of original design. With four groups of tees available, there is a setup and yardage combination for all levels of ability.

Golfers frequently see deer and other wildlife roaming the course, creating an atmosphere worthy of the same hospitality you’ll get from our staff.

⛳You can book your tee time online https://www.playriversidegc.com/

To create a calm, supportive environment, each session is limited to just 5 children. Parents will remain onsite and observe through our Watch Windows, giving you the opportunity to see the strategies in action while your child learns. At the end of the session, you’ll receive a take-home guide explaining each “tool” and ways to continue practicing together at home.
