A cozy grill with heart
At Sate Texas, tucked into 150 Sundance Pkwy Suite 400, Round Rock, TX 78681, the grill does the talking. What began as a beloved food truck now lives in a snug brick-and-mortar where the aroma of charcoal greets you at the door.
The room is relaxed, the service is friendly, and the focus is squarely on Indonesian flavors that feel both new and instantly comforting. Regulars drop in for quick plates or settle in for a slow lunch, and it all works because the details are dialed in from first bite to last spoon of dessert.
Satay is the star. Skewers of ayam, babi, beef, or tempeh arrive hot with just the right char, set over rice that can be jasmine or sunny yellow from turmeric and coconut milk. Pickled vegetables add snap, while peanut sauce and a kick of sambal round out each plate. Beyond skewers, look for ayam bakar with rice and pickles, gado gado dressed in peanut sauce, and weekend specials that keep the lineup interesting.
Bowls of bakso soup warm you through, and iced cendol brings that creamy sweet finish you did not know you needed. Everything is cooked over binchotan on a yakitori grill for clean heat and deep flavor.
Why it works here
Sate Texas hits a sweet spot for Round Rock. The counter service makes it easy, the portions feel generous, and the flavors travel well for takeout.

Come for meat on a stick, stay for the sauces, and plan a repeat visit to chase the specials.
