Dining

Chuy's Restaurant. You may have heard about Chuy's from sports announcer John Madden, the unofficial celebrity sponsor of the restaurant. Enchiladas and fajitas are top choices but also look for seafood and steak...or follow Madden's lead with the steak picado chicken: cubed chicken breast fried on the grill with peppers, onions, and tomatoes, topped with cheese sauce and served with rice, beans and a tortilla. Location: 1200 W. Broadway

Smokehouse. This barbecue restaurant has themed rooms, from sports and aviation memorabilia to antiques. The big draw, though, are their smoked meats as well as steaks, sandwiches and Mexican food. Location: 905 Broadway
