Ore City Guide

Dining in
Ore City

Food Scene

  • Dining in Ore City itself is limited — a few local spots for the basics
  • Gilmer, ten minutes north, has the nearest real selection of restaurants
  • Barbecue and plate lunch joints are the default within easy driving distance
  • Most folks here cook at home more than they eat out — gardens are common

Local Favorites

  • Small local diners and convenience grills in town
  • Barbecue spots in Gilmer and along Highway 259
  • Tex-Mex restaurants in Gilmer and Longview
  • Church potlucks and community fish fries
  • Home cooking — seriously, a lot of people here grow their own vegetables
