The still-new, but ever-changing menu at Royal Jelly has us rushing back to try everything before the season dictates its expiration. Merguez lamb sliders with fennel-carrot-mint slaw and goat cheese is our current obsession. The all-Texas beer list ranges from sours to stouts, and the full bar makes a mean Mol’e Fashioned. It’s our favorite neighborhood bar – even if we have to travel from several neighborhoods over to enjoy it.
