Bear Rock Cafe

ust arrived back from lunch. I am a creature of habit these days, especially with my weekly rituals to mark the time at work. With my schedule being Tuesday through Saturday, that makes Saturday my “Friday” so I have a lunchtime celebration at Bear Rock Cafe every week. (What I do on Friday and Wednesday can be divulged another time.) 
 
What’s so great about this place? Besides being easy to get in and out of on a Saturday afternoon, one of the only days Parmer Lane isn’t packed, the food is pretty decent for the price. I usually get the half sandwich and cup of soup combination. That’s enough to tide me over until I have dinner without giving me that ultra-bloated feeling I get from my other weekly ritual of the new, nearby Whataburger. The other part I have to plug is their computer savvy. Bear Rock Cafe in Austin has free wireless Interent access. Now here’s the clincher, it’s always operational unlike several other favorite places of mine. I know I shouldn’t gripe over something that’s free but lunch is the time I use to upgrade my Quicken file with online banking. I do feel rather relieved that I can rely on Bear Rock Cafe to have it functioning so I can ensure my checking account is still in the black. 
 
Unless you’re a Wi-Fi junkie like me, Bear Rock Cafe will earn a “meh” rating and be branded a Schlotzky’s clone. For the Wi-Fi addicts, it’s definitely a great place to go with an easy-to-find outlet in every booth.
