Foster’s Place located at 15244 SH-11, Pickton, TX, is a long standing local restaurant that has seen it’s fair share of regular customers and those that stop in for a pint and a burger. Foster’s currently has hours, Saturday 11 a. m. – 10 p. m., Sunday 11 a. m. – 9:30 p. m., and Monday 4 p. m. – 9 p. m. Bring the whole family or just your friends to enjoy a meal or live music, most weekends on Saturday night. The spring and summer are get times to visit as well, with their outdoor dining options, and a great stage to see those who come out to play some tunes.

The core menu at Foster’s is made up of pizza, wings and burgers. You can select your pizza from an option they have put together or build your own. Same with the burgers, they have three selected options or you can build your own. All of their beef comes from local butcher, Rail 19 and much of their produce also comes from local growers. Foster’s strives to use, people in the community to provide the freshest ingredients for their customers.

Along with the core menu Art has created daily specials that will be a little more creative and fun for your dining experience. These daily specials are always changing so it makes each visit worth the time. We had a poblano chicken mac and cheese, which was from the specials menu and it was delicious. You could taste the peppers and the cream sauce on the mac and cheese was just perfect.

We also enjoyed Foster’s Fries as our starter, that are made from a special cut potato so diners can experience the softness of the potato with a bit of crisp on the end. Plus the homemade Foster’s seasoning on the fries makes them just perfect. The seasoning can be purchased at Foster’s or at Lander’s Creek in Sulphur Springs. You might want to pick some up to place in some stockings for this holiday season.

That’s not all you can get from Foster’s. If you enjoy craft beer, this is the stop for you. They regularly do a nightly beer special and they feature a wide variety of choices from around the state. The fun does not stop there, they can customize a pack to go home with you at the end of the night mix and match the beers you tried or bring home something new. Either way you will no be disappointed with your choices in restaurant or at home.

Foster’s also happens to carry a large variety of whiskey for the whiskey lover in your house. If you want something a little stronger for your visit and have a designated driver, be sure to try something new when you stop in. We have sent guests down there for that reason alone, and they enjoyed their entire visit. Art and his staff are attentive and ready to help answer any questions you might have. Art loves to visit with his guests and will probably stop by your table when you stop in for a bite to eat. Be sure to check their Facebook page for Holiday hours, since the big days this year are on the weekends. After the holiday’s for sure plan your next night out for lunch or dinner to Foster’s, or on your next stay while at The Oaks.
