- Before you journey to this quaint northern Hill Country town, you’ve gotta understand that this town is NUTS - well, they’re nuts about pecans, anyways. The Pecan Capital of the World (a well deserved title since they’ve got 8 pecan orchards), this town is also full of world class cuisine, beautiful nature and some of the friendliest folks around!
Head outside of town to drive over the Regency Bridge, for a historic and harrowing ride. Built in 1939, this bridge is the last drive-able wooden suspension bridge in Texas. It’s seen everything from wagons to cattle drives and now cars…and as the wooden bridge moves under the weight of your car, you’ll feel a thrill like no other.
Once you get to town, it’s time to go NUTS, and while there are 8 different pecan orchards, I suggest you start at Millican Pecan Company, owners of the Mother Pecan Tree where E.E. Risien first created the famous Texas pecan. While the tree, itself, is on private land, you can get a plethora of nutty products like pecans by the pound, pecan logs and milk chocolate Carmallicans (aka heaven in chocolate-covered caramel pecan form).
On Main Street, you’ll find that the heart of this small town is bustling with shops and eateries. Try dozens of flavored olive oils at San Saba Oil Company like Habanero Infused, Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Infused olive oils.
Purchase custom boots at Harry’s Boots, whose five-store-wide selection of handmade boots, jeans and hats has been attracting customers since 1939.
This famous 400-year-old oak tree is just 5 minutes outside of town and was a popular spot for many settler weddings and Indian meetings.
Head to Main Street and slow down with a glass of some of Texas’s finest wine at the Wedding Oak Winery, which is named after the famous Wedding Oak Tree.
To walk off all those pecans, hit the 2 miles of paved trails at the San Saba Nature Park. Not only is this park speckled with towering pecan trees, but you’ll also discover a serene spring-fed creek and the intricate ruins of the town’s first watermill.
Take a walk through Mill Pond Park to see the iconic gristmill in the spring-fed lake and the roaring waterfall. When it’s hot out, dive into the lake for a swim, lay out on the park’s sandy Sunny Beach or climb atop the giant inflatables floating in the water.

That pizza looks like what you'd find in Amsterdam next to the coffee shops.
The local golf course is a Texas gem.
It's so funny when Chet got tackle by skeletor on a open field 😂😂😂
Im just so happy Chet pronounced 'Ignacio' correctly 🥹
This is cool! I buy a couple of pounds of pecans every year from Millican in San Saba. They are the best I've ever had, I use them in pies (of course) but also candy them and give them to my kids and grandkids, they absolutely love them, and of course I do too for a healthy snack when I want something a little sweet.
Prestine is beautiful wow
Thanks!
Wow. Thanks! We'll keep making em if you keep supporting
5:34 I choked, beer came out my nose. In comedy to ''kill' is the goal. But dang bro!
I use to work on a pecan farm. I collected pecans from private lands and split the proceeds 50%
with the owner. Now that is a pizza.
I'm glad you split it with the owner! I'd hate for someone to think us Texans ain't honest! 🇸🇴🇵🇱
Several years ago we road tripped and we parked to look at the bridge and instantly attacked by swarms of mosquitos like I never seen
You’ll have to swing by Pepperbelly’s next time.
