They do Lego events there sometimes. Now there will be a place for parents & nannies to get some lunch without having to go to that awful Burger King.

You’re not eating there to save money.

I like Hill Country. It’s nothing to write home about, but I enjoy going there and think the food is pretty good. And the portions (of meat anyway) are based on weight, so I’m sure how size could be an issue. I usually get the one of the specials that includes 1/3 lb brisket, a side, and cornbread for something like $12.50. Not overpriced at all, IMO.

Never eaten at Hill Country, so can’t comment on the food, but if this helps them stay open, go for it.

I highly recommend the tour of the building itself, which gives you the history of the structure and its interesting features. I’ve taken it several times and the volunteer docents have always been terrific.

Its a great place for small kids. Sitting on the lawn and eating it will be even better.

Anyway , this is great news. The Building Museum is one of the lesser-known gems in the city and although Hill Country isn’t the best BBQ ever, it’s not too bad.

And it’s great to see these places finding ways to bring in new visitors (like the new Tryst in the Phillips Collection). Museums have an undeserved reputation for being stuffy and boring, which is a shame because it keeps a large segment of the populatoin from ever setting foot in them.
