Pure Country BBQ to take over Boerne's Dog & Pony space

Long-running Pure Country BBQ and Grill is taking over the Boerne space that houses Dog & Pony Grill, a restaurant scheduled to close around the end of the month. Pure Country — which has operated in Boerne for the past 10 of its 29 years — will open May 3 in the sprawling space, its owners said in a Facebook post. They also plan to maintain Dog & Pony's "family-friendly atmosphere that we have grown to love," according to the post.
