I'm a regular, I know the owner, and most of her staff, so it's kind of weird that I've never…read moreposted a review, so here is a long overdue review. Michelle and her staff go far above and beyond to make sure everyone is served quickly and with a locally grown (while is season, produce with her southern recipes. My wife was very fond of her avocado, toast, breakfast, or strawberry pancakes, or French toast, which was also one of my sons favorites I personally always go with the big breakfast, chicken, fried steak, couple of eggs and her homestyle, potatoes and toast I also wanna point out that you can't go wrong with the biscuits and gravy. Another one of our friends that joins regularly. absolutely love her pork chop and grilled chicken breast on top of the strawberry salad! So, if you're not local, and not knowing where to eat, pull off of Highway 21 and give the garden spot a chance, and I promise you, Michelle will definitely take care of ya!

I was SO EXCITED to find out that there is a Cookshack in College Station!…read more We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday before heading home. We were BLOWN AWAY by the number of college students, dressed in their Sunday's best, openly praying over their food before enjoying some awesome chicken. It was SO NICE TO SEE! We ordered a family meal (20 pieces), 2 sides of fries and a chicken sandwich meal. We paid around $40. Great value! The food came out quick and arrived hot and fresh. I had a slight "issue" where I thought my chicken wasn't fully cooked and the manager reassured me that it was just breading but happily remade my sandwich to give me peace of mind. I REALLY appreciated that. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, literally leaving "not a fry left behind." The size of my chicken on the sandwich was HUGE- had to be hanging off the roll by 2" on each side! Staff were phenomenal. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Love the laid back decor. Plenty of seating inside and some tables outdoors as well. Definitely recommend!

Really good! In fact, it's a contender for my favorite fried chicken in town. The only undecided…read morewinner so far is Mess Waffles. The Cookshack has a different vibe and feels more like a lunch or dinner spot, while Mess is the perfect breakfast place. Alright, who am I reviewing again? Right. The Cookshack has some great options, and my wife and I went for the Chicken & Waffles. I chose the hottest seasoning they had--pretty sure it was ghost pepper--and yeah, it was spicy but didn't make me miserable. There was a lot of food, and it definitely filled us up. My wife got mac n cheese with hers and really enjoyed every bite. The cashier was nice and attentive. The atmosphere is great for a lunch or dinner date. Plus, they have large booths, which we really appreciate.

When I wrote this review, I was the sixth review ever…read more The other five reviews were five stars. I gave it five stars too. That should tell you something. * * * Herk's is a small convenience store with their own sandwich business. At lunch time, there are fifteen trucks parked outside. That means fifteen to thirty working guys getting lunch. Those fifteen to thirty guys know what they are doing. * * * The menu is hamburgers, a little bit of breakfast stuff, a little bit of brisket, a little bit of Mexican stuff and some non-hamburger grilled sandwiches. The hamburgers are rightly famous. I had a smoked turkey sandwich that was fantabulous. The secret was a cheesy jalapeno bread that was massively buttered and then toasted on the grill. The buttered bread was simply to die for. But it didn't hurt that they took the turkey off the loaf and grilled it until there was a good char on the meat. I never knew turkey loaf turkey could be grilled - and I didn't know it tastes great when grilled. Put that on your list with bologna of surprising foods that taste amazing hot if you put a char on them. * * * But the whole place is classy - not just the sandwiches themselves. Even though Herk's has almost no space, they put out one of the best displays of energy drinks you will ever see at a convenience store. And they have a great selection of everyday beer. Also tucked away in a corner is a supply of shampoo, deodorant and other clean-up supplies. You doing something really dirty and have to look good after work? Herk's has got you covered. You can get charged up in the morning. You can get charged up midday. You can kick back at night. And if something goes wrong with your truck, they even have a small stock of emergency truck supplies. * * * The place also goes out of the way to help out the local community. They have a big ad for a benefit for a local resident who survived what should have been an absolutely fatal stroke. That patient is now facing months of expensive rehabilitation. The community is selling homemade briskets and doing a great big benefit dinner. They have announcements for the Central Texas Diabetes support fundraiser (two C & W bands and another dinner.) There is a third dinner the next day for the local Lutheran church. (This time, the attendees get roast beef.) If cooking is going to be what helps people in need, Lexington, Texas is willing to do a lot of cooking. The community material can also be naughty rather than nice. They have a big ad for the locally made spice mix with a Before and After picture showing the merits of the spices. The After Picture is a Beautiful Model. The Before Picture is Old Hillary Clinton. There are gags about living on $15 a week. You use $8 for your beer, $1 for the wife's beer, $2 for horse tips, $5 for other fun stuff. You buy your groceries on credit. If your expenses go over $15 a week, your next move is to cancel the wife's beer. There are jokes about how no one has ever figured out how to win an argument with a woman. There are plenty of jokes about drinking as well, and a few not-so-naughty jokes about riding. * * * You get the idea. Herk's is more than just a place to get hamburgers. It is a place that takes care of its people. It provides the goods and services local people need. It provides a meeting place. It stands up for the high and noble virtues. It stands up for the sins that people-are-gonna-commit-anyway. * * * Overall you gotta like Herk's. Soul is a funny choice of word for a country western establishment. But, in a very real way, this place has soul.

The second stop on our family road trip was Bevers Kitchen & Gifts for one reason and one reason…read moreonly: PIE. So I can't tell you a thing about the lunch menu. I can't tell you about the chicken fried steak, the chicken salad or anything else coming out of that kitchen. But pie? Oh, I can talk about the pie. First of all, this place is CUTE. It's got that wonderful little small-town Texas feel that makes you want to slow down, look around and buy something homemade before you get back on the road. We couldn't possibly choose just one flavor, because apparently nobody in my family possesses that kind of restraint. We left with slices of cherry, peach, fudge pecan and buttermilk. Let's start with the star of the show. THE CHERRY PIE. 1000000/10. I am not exaggerating when I say this was, without a doubt, the best cherry pie I have ever eaten. It was absolutely spectacular. The whole family agreed. The filling, the flavor, that gorgeous made-from-scratch crust...everything worked. If you put another slice of it in front of me right now, this review would have to wait. The peach surprised me almost as much because I DON'T EVEN LIKE PEACHES. And yet there I was, happily eating peach pie and reconsidering some of my life choices. It was delicious. The fudge pecan received rave reviews from the family members who tried it. I didn't get a bite of that one, so I'm not going to sit here and pretend otherwise, but I was very enthusiastically assured that it was fantastic. The buttermilk was the only one that didn't really land for us, but I want to be fair about why. My family and I grew up eating a very traditional, custardy buttermilk pie. Bevers' version seemed to be a cream-cheese based, and simply wasn't the style any of us expected. It wasn't BAD. It just wasn't our buttermilk pie. If you prefer that richer, creamier style, you may absolutely love it. But here's what ALL four slices had in common: THAT CRUST. Made from scratch, flaky, tender, buttery and exactly what pie crust is supposed to be. You can tell somebody back there understands that the crust isn't merely transportation for the filling. It matters. We'll absolutely stop again when we're anywhere near Chappell Hill, and next time I may actually try the food everyone keeps talking about. But let's not kid ourselves. I'm coming back for that cherry pie.

Ms. Dee, co-owner and chef, was also our waiter and hostess and took great care of us. We got the broiled chicken and the meatloaf, both of which were fresh and hot off the cafeteria line, which don't let that turn you off--this was delicious home cooking despite being technically on a cafeteria line. Don't sleep on the cornbread muffins which I could tell were made with real cornmeal and lard--YUM. An old-school gem we felt great about supporting!
