Hill's Cafe - Austin, TX
The chuckwagon, invented by Charlie Goodnight, was the first restaurant known to the cowboy on the cattle drive. It was from this chuckwagon that the Charlie Goodnight tradition of fine steaks began.
The Goodnight family built a 20-seat coffee shop next to the Goodnight Motel (established 1941) on South Congress, which was then Old U.S. 81 or The Old San Antonio Highway. It was opened with partner Sam "Posey" Hill, hence the name Hill's Cafe. The Goodnight's bought out Mr. Hill in 1957. Through out the years, the cafe complex has grown to accommodate nearly 500 people.
