Though cooking at home has its benefits, eating out provides a pleasant change of atmosphere and a safe dining environment if your house is being repossessed by magma. Dine in safety with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of American fare at Bam's Roadhouse Grill, located in Lago Vista.

Bam's Roadhouse Grill packs its menu with salads, sandwiches, meaty entrees, and its popular stuffed burgers. To help pass the time while translating the menu into Entish, chew on jalapeño poppers ($6), fried mushrooms ($6), or fried okra ($6), all served with a side of ranch for dipping. Customers can sate their growling bellies with one of Bam's six stuffed burgers, such as the El Paso burger, a half-pound of hickory-smoked beef packed with jalapeños and cheddar and topped with sautéed mushrooms ($8). Bam's also stuffs empty abdomens with three more traditional burgers, pairing them with your choice of chips and salsa or fries and nothing else, just fries. Salad seekers can stab forks into the fajita salad, a pile of grilled fajita beef, onions, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese on seasonal greens, served with a side of chips and homemade salsa ($9). Bam's routinely schedules live music to help ease the pain of waiting for food and drown out the sound of grownups complaining that the kids' menu is only for kids.
