This is one place in La Grange that I had never tried, and I figured it was about time. I went to…read morelunch with a friend of mine. They greeted us fairly quickly and our waitress was friendly. I decided to get the fried calamari with a side of green beans. My friend got the hamburger steak with onions. He immediately said the hamburger meat tasted old and I guess that could've been the seasoning, etc. Who knows. But he didn't eat much of it at all. We both had a side salad and it was very good. The calamari was OK but the red sauce did not taste like seafood sauce at all. I think it was actually marinara sauce. I wasn't wild about the tartar sauce either. I know everybody has their own likes and dislikes, but this was just not the place for me. I will not be back unless it is just to get a salad.

First off the appearance is very clean and neat, staff is super friendly and attentive to our every need. Next, the food was well prepared and delivered piping hot. The food was very tasty and seasoned to perfection. And last but not least, their prices are amazingly low when compared to same type of food at other places in the area. To sum it up, place is immaculately clean, food was perfect, staff was fantastic and low prices. Give it a try next time you're in La Grange and hungry.

If there was a McAllisters right next door, I'd come to the bakery 9 out of 10 times. I almost ordered a gallon of soup to go. Had to settle for a cup There's a small seating area in the store. Next time I'll grab a drink and chips from there. Staff very friendly

For a town celebrated for its charm, I expected this bakery to embody the same warmth…read more As a first-time visitor and tourist, I naturally had questions about the bakery's history and the pastries they're known for. The woman who appeared to be the bakery manager, working around 8:15 a.m., answered every question with an attitude that felt forced, dismissive, and unwelcoming. When someone says, "This is my first time here," it's usually an opportunity to create a memorable experience--not make them feel like they're interrupting your morning. I won't be rating the bakery's famous pigs in a blanket because, to me, hospitality is part of the product. Outstanding customer service can elevate good food to a great experience. Without it, even the town's signature pastry loses some of its appeal.

I went through the drive-through to order and when someone pulled in behind me they told me to pull out front and they would bring out my order. It did not take very long and I thought everything tasted great that day. They have different specials every day. I tried the fried fish platter and I thought the fish was good, the carrots were average and I did not care for the coleslaw. I guess it really depends on what they are serving on the day that you go. The employees were very friendly and the food was reasonably priced so I would definitely recommend trying Hanks Express.

After driving from Houston to La Grange, we were starving, so we were happy to find Las Fuentes…read morejust a short walk from our Airbnb. One of the highlights of the meal was the fresh, homemade tortillas. They were warm, soft, and clearly made in-house, making the fajitas even more enjoyable. The fajitas themselves were flavorful, tender, and arrived sizzling hot. And if you're in the mood for a margarita, be prepared--they're gigantic! Definitely big enough to help you unwind after a day of traveling. The only downside was the service. We came in for a later lunch, and it felt like the staff was eager to clear our table while we were still finishing up. A little later, we realized the staff was getting ready to eat their own meal. I completely understand wanting to take a break, but it would have been nice if someone had simply let us know they were about to close for a staff meal. That bit of communication would have made the experience feel much more welcoming instead of rushed. Overall, the food was the standout, especially the fresh tortillas and delicious fajitas. I'd happily return for the food and those oversized margaritas.

I got two enchiladas with a guacamole salad and a cheese puff. I had no idea what the cheese puff was and it was very disappointed to find out it was nothing more than a small taco salad bowl filled with cheese. The guacamole salad was very small. I was not wild about the taste of either the beef or the cheese enchilada. But my friend got shrimp fajitas and they looked good, smelled good and tasted so good! Everything was prepared very well, especially the shrimp. If I go back again, I will definitely know what to order and what not to order lol The staff was very friendly and very attentive!

Stopped here to use the restroom and get a bite to eat on our way back home from Austin. I've been…read morehere once before but went through the drive thru. I'm rating this location with 2 stars instead of 1 because I love the convenience of the automatic doors at the entrance/exit and that the restroom was decent. We pulled up around 3:15 and noticed the parking lot was empty and that there were no customers in the drive thru. I don't recall a time that I've ever been to a McDonald's and it not be busy. When we walked in, the first thing I saw were fries everywhere on the floor, trash on the tables and two of the employees posted up at the front counter having their own side conversation! So there was no reason the lobby should have looked the way it did. I thought to myself, if the lobby looked unkept, I was sure the restroom was going to be just as bad if not worse; I was surprised. The restroom was actually decent! No toilet paper on the floor; no trash running over in the receptacle. The way the lobby looked, made me give a hard pass on ordering anything to eat because it gave me the impression that the crew that worked here was lazy ‍ It was like seeing how someone keeps a very untidy home and then have the nerve to offer you something to eat; no thank you.

In less than a week I somehow visited both the best McDonalds I have ever been to outside Boston…read morewith the fireplace in the dining room and the worst McDonalds I have ever been to at this location outside Austin. It would make a fun point-to-point trip for novelty travel vloggers like Ian, you know the one Ian if you spend enough time online, "air conditioning outside!"-Ian, someone I would definitely be best friends with given our common interests in key lime pie and whimsy. These are two entirely separate worlds apart from the good one outside Boston and this awful one right here. I pulled off the road after a difficult work day in Austin on the way back into Houston for a refreshing frozen Coke. The best frozen Coke I ever had was in Orlando just a few weeks ago, they mixed both the vanilla coke and cherry coke flavours as a secret (well, less-secret-now) VIP favour to me in Disney Springs. I wanted to re-live that experience or at least get as near as possible to it for refreshment you can find close to the highway between Austin and Houston. I moseyed on in to order in the store since outside Boston I found a fireplace in the dining room at that McDonalds. What would I find here outside Austin, maybe a banjo? A steer that they are supposed to be famous for around here? A drag queen that got sidetracked whilst getting dressed that morning and left the house gussied up as Bing Bong (on a normal day, not Halloweekend) rather than in drag? Maybe something else? The sky is the limit on these possibilities once you find a fireplace in a McDonalds dining room, anything can happen in a dining room now. I ordered my frozen coke and paid. I waited for my order. I had already ordered and paid, mind you. Then the guy comes out and tells me that the frozen coke machine is broken. Why did they let me order and pay for something they knew they did not have? I said ok, gimme the frozen Dr Pepper since we can't have everything but we can get close. He said that machine was broken, but somehow inexplicably they had the frozen blue one working. Da fuq? There is only one freezy drink machine, it is an unholy drink cloaca where all flavours come out of one hole like a Coke freestyle stand in Orlando, it is not separate holes for each beverage like Club Cool in Epcot. I accepted the blue thing I did not want since I had already ordered and paid and the traffic was only getting worse on the road so I wanted to get back on the road to Houston. I was presented with a blue thing that was like 75% filled. It tasted and smelled like it had been mixed with Sam Vimes' dirty boots and rubber cement. It was dreadful. I am a certified hater (see my one star reviews from the particularly spicy years of 2011-2016) so I actually WOULD wish this on my worst enemy, but not myself. I was plenty fine it was not completely filled after all since it was assigned immediately to the circular filing system. Don't mess with [frozen cokes]
