I think LaGrange is about halfway. It's far enough Houstonians get to
enjoy the rolling hills part of Texas'  scenery.

The Bon-Ton Room there has a Sunday afternoon buffet with chicken
fried steak and fried chicken to chicken pot pie and other casserole
type entrees. It includes10 or so vegetable dishes - all home-cooked.
Also take menu orders.At 2pm two weeks ago it had a room with several
extra long settings and it was not crowded. We sat next to one  family
reunion. The waitresses are straight out of a TV sitcom set. Heck, the
whole restaurant is. About $6.

Smaller is the Cottonwood, lost some of its luster since it's been
bypassed. And then there are the sausage places along there. I wish I
could remember the name of the BBQ place that has hauled in so many
taxidermed animals over the years I keep one arm ready to cover my
plate should they lunge. (It's not as dusty or unsanitary as it
sounds, really!)
