There's a few places along the river, to eat. Hooters', Joe's Crab shack, Steak N Shake. There is also a couple different shopping mall's, you could kill time at.

If you have some time and want a great meal go to Alexanders http://www.mercedesrestaurants.com/ I went there last weekend, and their food is awesome. There is also Rhodell Brewery but according to their website they're not opened on Sundays. I'm not from the area, but those are some of the places I've been while visiting and really liked.

Don't go to Joe's crab shack. I went there once and definately wasn't impressed. If you looking for seafood the fishhouse on university is a good place to go. Otherwise alexanders, sevin, or jim's bistro are all good choices but on the higher end. If your around tuesday there is also a local weekly cruise which always has a good turnout which i'm going to try to hit my first one up this week.
