    I hired Gimme Some Sweets in Sealy, TX for my wedding and wanted to share my experience for others…read moreconsidering booking. My agreement, based on our conversations and invoices, was for catering 125 guests. I paid a significant amount for this service. After I raised concerns following the event, I was told that although meat prices had increased, my original price would still be honored. This was not something that had been communicated to me prior to the event. During the event, we experienced issues with food availability and overall service that did not meet my expectations. After I raised these concerns, I was also told that additional food had been prepared beyond the agreed guest count. However, this was not something that was communicated to me prior to or during the event. I also brought up concerns regarding the drinks. I was told the situation would be "investigated," but I was not provided with any follow-up, clarification, or documentation addressing those concerns. While photos of the food and setup were shared, I did not receive any photos of the drinks related to the concerns I raised. I followed up via text on Monday evening requesting a fair resolution, but as of Wednesday I have not received a response. Overall, the communication after the event has left me with unanswered questions, and the experience did not align with what I believed I was paying for. I am still open to a resolution, and I recommend that anyone booking ensure all details--including quantities, beverages, and service expectations--are clearly outlined and confirmed in writing ahead of time.

    Back in February my dad was retiring so I asked for a Houston Rodeo cake and provided them the…read moresymbol. And I was hoping that it was going to be portrait style and the rodeo age with the hat was going to take up majority of the cake, but it did not. It was not hand piped decorated. It was just that edible screen print. This is after I asked her to please rewrite some of the words because I couldn't even read them. I was kind of disappointed, but I picked it up the day off, so it was really nothing I can do about it. $55. The taste of the cake was good, But it was very dense. They had some delicious looking cookies in there, so maybe cookies is just their thing, but I would not order another cake from them.

    A must stop if you are traveling between Houston and Austin on Hwy 71. I'm usually a Bucees guy,…read morebut this place specializes in something that the beaver doesn't. Kolaches! Arguably one of the greatest foods ever invented. Atleast in my world. How can you go wrong with bread filled with sweet or savory fillings? Hruska's is about halfway between Houston and Austin and a perfect rest stop to fill up on gas, use the clean facilities, grab a snack or indulge in their amazing baked goods. They are steeped in history and have been around for decades passing along the family recipes. It's obviously improved structurally over the years from a country store and looks like a modern gas station now. It's always pretty busy every time I have stopped in, but they are a well oiled machine and keep the masses moving with excellent customer service. They have all your gas station essentials like snacks and beverages. What sets them apart is their bakery. Here, they label their kolaches as the traditional fruit filled variety. I like them, but they are never my first choice. I love the ones with meat inside. Here, they label these as pigs in a blanket. They have a large variety of both. I usually go for a regular sausage and cheese, but over here, they sell a delicious pan sausage kind. On top of all their sweet and savory baked goods, they also sell burgers on the grill. Their burgers have made it to the Texas Monthly Top 50 burger spots. I have yet to try it. Overall, this is an always stop place for me. I highly recommend stopping here to stretch your legs and enjoy a delicious pastry while you're at it. I will definitely be back.

    Great half way stop between Houston and Austin. Friendly gas stop / local bakery with a Texas…read moreSouthern Hospitality vibe. Gas prices were reasonable for being directly off 71 and service was friendly. Plenty of snacking choices with a local bakery with signature kolaches and Danish. Worth a look !!
