Almost decided it was the wrong place since it is located at the front of the stock yard. Believe me, we are so glad we went in. Food, exceptional! Service, fantastic. Ambiance, fun and very interesting. People are friendly and happy. We had the chicken fried steaks with cream gravy, comes with three sides, I picked mashed potatoes, green beans & fried zucchini, my husband picked corn, coleslaw & fried okra, every bite was delicious!! Bobby, our server was delightful. We will mark Jamie's as a must stop on our future trips.

The food tastes like it came straight out of a family kitchen--fresh, hearty, and downright delicious. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a hometown diner: locals chatting over coffee, a welcoming vibe the moment you walk in, and a staff that treats you like you've been coming there for years. Everyone is genuinely friendly, and it's clear this spot is a community favorite. One of the small town touches the place boasts is that it's connected to a boutique, so you can enjoy a great meal and then browse around a bit. Nestled in this little Texas town, Darlin's Diner just has that warm, welcoming feeling that makes you want to sit a little longer and come back again. Small town, big flavor, and even bigger hospitality. Highly recommend.

I usually call in our order when we are about 20 minutes away from our stop. Everytime I call in the order the person on the other end is friendly and repeats back what we order. The convenient store part of Hruska's has a lot of items that you can choose from to purchase and they have clean bathrooms which is a positive. When we get there we park, walk in and head to pick up our food at the counter. It's usually labeled with the ticket stapled to the bag. We then get in line to pay for our food. The line is usually backed up but moves fairly quickly. There is also a small area with tables and chairs that you can sit at and enjoy your meal or sit there if you need a rest. For my meal I usually order a Hamburger which comes with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. I usually get mine with mustard. Their burgers are so good and a good size. Overall Hruska's is a great stopping place while traveling. Whether it's for gas, a bathroom break, or if you want to grab something to eat this is a one stop shop place.

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.

Didn't realize it was chicken fried steak, I thought it was chicken. The clerk was nice enough to switch my order and I'm glad I did. I got the burger with the fried jalapeño on it. Delicious! The onion rings were good too. The only thing about the burger was the bun was a little scorched. Although I appreciated the fact that they grilled the bun, that was an added touch. I did not get a picture of the onion rings. I asked them to cut in half so I could easily eat it. Worked out perfectly as I wrapped it in the paper.

The chicken fried steak must have been fried in the same grease as my mother's catfish. (My food had a fish taste to it.) Other than that, everything else was good. Thought the prices were a little high, but that's Bidenomics at work. Speaking of politics, I was very impressed with the restaurant's support of President Trump for President in 2024. Anyway, the service was just right. The only mix-up was not knowing to pay at the counter instead of at the table. I also enjoyed the indoor decor of the establishment. Very decorative for such a small-town business. Check Maggie's out!

What an experience! I decided to stop here for a burger and a shake on the way home from Houston…read moresince I had once tried the Texas Burger in Madisonville and liked it. First there was the drive-thru. The speaker doesn't work, there is no sign warning you, and somehow you are supposed to know what you want when you get to the window. Fine for those regulars familiar with the menu but they have no paper menu to look at when you get there. So the kid starts reciting it. To make it easy I ordered a double Texas burger dry with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and lots of onion. Kid didn't know what flavor ice cream for the shake they had, so he had to go look and memorize the flavors So I pay and wait. My receipt comes back saying no onion after ordering extra and nothing about dry. So they had to remake the burger and give a proper receipt. Everything was a big production, a comedy of errors by a completely clueless and incompetent crew with no adult supervision. I ate my burger while waiting for my shake and it was good. But I surely wouldn't recommend using the drive thru. Yelp was down for service else I'd have checked in. The business shares a spot with Subway and was hard to find as signage is poor despite being near the freeway.

You get to chose the type of bread. I chose the jalapeño cheese bread which was soft and tasty. The burger patty tasted like it was a frozen store bought one and was undercooked. The grilled jalapeños with the cream cheese saved the burger. The fries tasted old and lacked flavor. My wife had the bacon cheese burger. The bacon had a weird texture and tasted disgusting. Tasted like it was microwaved. The patty was overcooked and extremely dry. Once again the patty appeared to be a frozen store bought patty. Overall the burgers were overpriced based on the quality of the burgers we received. We were disappointed.
