    An absolute MUST STOP along I-35 and now my second visit to West, Texas (not West Texas, which is…read morecompletely different). I've been to the other one and now I am here. And while the other one is great and fabulous, this one is one star better. A huge selection of baked goods, coffee, decor, clothing, drinks and more. The Kissing Pig Cafe has so many food options, too! Mrs. K. has not had a kolache in years and she's now pescatarian which presents certain challenges. It would be awesome if they had some kolaches with just cheese or were sweet, so while I had one with ham and cheese and one with sausage in cheese, she was at least able to enjoy a strawberry and cream danish as well as the always awesome poppyseed kolache. It's possible that a pecan square was purchased for later consumption, too. The self-serve coffee was great and we enjoyed all of this inside at a comfortable table. And after that, more shopping. So much great stuff to choose from here and very, very clean restrooms. If you're overwhelmed by that massive baked goods counter, just ask for recommendations. They'll get you sorted for sure!

    Pluses: nice clean stop along the route. Clean bathrooms after you worm your way through aisles of…read morekitsch, and a meat market and kolache counter to visit after you've "done your duty". Excellent selection of kolaches and klobasneky. You can also buy sandwiches. Minus: as on previous visits, I have found that they are often out of poppyseed and prune kolaches. Not the servers' fault but you would think management would be keen to bake more of what sells most. Then there are the sandwiches. If you want pork, you'll get value. But if you want brisket, look out! I've never seen a more miserly portion offered for 13 dollars. I understand that brisket is expensive now. But I still get it at various restaurants and have to say that it was a five dollar sandwich for thirteen bucks. Additionally, the sandwich maker apparently does not know what and order for "moist" brisket means. Mine proved rather dry.

    Absolutely unacceptable experience at this location…read more My girlfriend stopped in to buy nothing more than a bottle of water and was asked to provide identification and have it scanned. She left feeling singled out, embarrassed, and humiliated over a routine purchase. What makes this even more concerning is that we've heard from others who claim this isn't an isolated incident and that people of color are being asked for identification and ID scans in situations where other customers are not. If that's true, it's deeply troubling and raises serious concerns about racial profiling. Whether this was the result of poor training or intentional conduct, no customer should ever feel targeted because of the color of their skin. Businesses have a responsibility to treat every customer with fairness and respect. I sincerely hope corporate investigates this location, reviews the surveillance footage and employee conduct, and takes appropriate action if these concerns are substantiated. Until then, I cannot recommend supporting this business.

    Stopped here on the drive from Arlington to San Antonio because, well, nature called. I know it is…read moreunusual to review a bathroom, but this one deserves a shoutout ... spotless & cute. This gas station gave small Buc ees vibes. I went in to use the restroom and came out twenty minutes later with snacks, random things, and a drink I could not pronounce. They even sell fresh farm milk and local drinks! If every pit stop was like this, I would never make it home on time.

    Hill country Diner. A Hidden treasure that's almost a Secret! I've been coming to Gatesville for…read morealmost 5 years and have heard of this place but couldn't ever find it! The other day my buddy brought me here; and it was GREAT! (Yes he's known about it for 3yrs and frequently went without me...A$$#%&@ !! It's a gas station diner. From the outside it looks like a rough truck stop surrounded by farm trucks and big rigs. And on the inside it's no-frills but the smell of good food lingers everywhere and sounds of hustling people coming and going. Ordering is done at the counter, the staff were amazingly friendly and the quality of food could stand alone as purely Awesome...home-cooking at its Very Beat!! It's filling and fair priced most items under $10. At certain times of the day finding an open table is impossible!! Yesterday I had a hamburger steak covered with brown gravy and grilled onions with fries. Today it was fried catfish and a salad. Honestly the food was so good from the day before, I had to come try something different. Anyway if you're looking for a unique experience in a diner setting out in the almost complete middle of nowhere, and/or looking for friendly service almost beyond friendly though like you're family, and/or looking for some Really Great Hill Country Homestyle cooking...then come check out Pruitt's!! Now ya know where it's at!

    Hands down favorite gas station in the world. They always have yummy food. And it's great for CO'sread more

    We have gone here a couple of times on our way back to Waco after eating at the burger and wok in…read morevalley mills. If you are expecting big city selection and prices you will be disappointed. It appears to be an express and not a regular grocery store. It is a cross between a standard grocery store and a convenience store. There is way mother of a selection than the standard convenience store and a lot more quirky products than most traditional grocery stores. For instance there are more refrigerated drinks here. A bunch of 20 oz sodas coffee drinks sport drinks etc. They sell briskets and apples etc like a regular store. We enjoy the store. It has a very clean bathroom customer service area like a regular grocery store and a deli hot foods area and has some tables to eat your foods at. We really enjoy going here.

We were excited to try the pizza because the chicken is phenomenal in the deli. When we opened the pizza all 3 of them were burnt! Burnt to the point of almost unrecognizing the toppings. I have 5 hungry kids who are looking at me highly disappointed. I immediately called Brookshires and Eli answers the phone. I explained to him what I was dealing with and he immediately apologized and told me to come in and he would refund me my money. Not only that but he would also go and speak with the individual responsible. I originally gave 1 star but because of Eli I gave 3. Thankfully I had stuff for sandwiches!!
