When you walk in you can scan the QR code and order from the table. Or they will bring you a menu to your table. Then once you have figured out what you want, you then will walk up to the register to order. Personally, I ordered the old fashioned way. Next time I come I will order the new way with the QR code. The pizza here is really fresh and delicious. It's definitely not your average pizza from the competitors. I don't even believe that they can match the quality of the pizza here. My first observation was the crust and how it wasn't greasy. It was smooth and freshly hot from the oven. All the ingredients were fresh and quite honestly I didn't feel bloated after eating. I also had a house salad with ranch prior and it was delicious as well. There are no fountain drinks available here. So if you need an extra drink I would recommend ordering extra drinks. They also don't have ice or cups available so it is best to wait for your drinks when your food is ready. Overall, I am really impressed with the delicious pizza and the prompt service they provided with just two people. They seemed very happy to provide everyone with equal service whether in person or if were picking up an online order. I highly recommend trying this place out if you are reading my review.

The selection is good, just not great mainly because the store itself is probably about 800 ft.². The aisles towards the back are very narrow and it's easy to knock something off the shelf. They have plenty of liquor singles, and even a small cigar humidor. They keep the good stuff behind the counter, but they don't have many choices on the high-end side. The prices here are a little higher than the big box retailers, but not overly so. Informative photos and video included.

The seasonings are the star of the show here, and on the seafood plates you can choose your spice level. The seafood is perfectly cooked, never dried out or rubbery.

We also got the fish and fries fried plate and the New Orleans Po' Boys sandwich.They are usually part of the Hutto food truck park, but are now parked off Main Street and you can see them off 79. They still have plenty of seating in this location that they currently share with Happy Panini and cute twinkle lights. They're fast and efficient with getting you your items and I have had friendly service the 2 times I've ordered from them. Portion size is really good for the flavor, quality of the cook and price you're paying. I did see a worker take a break to smoke which concerned me at first, but when receiving my food noticed they had gloves on. Still definitely plan on going to come back to try more of the menu!

I have heard high praise from locals, and at the end of the day, nothing beats a city's local diner. It is one of those places that closes by 3 pm every day and feels perfect for brunch after a Sunday church service. I came in a little after 11 am with the man who is basically the face of Hutto at his request. He has lived in Hutto for years and has countless stories of the city to share. We sat as he shared stories with my co worker and me about the history of the city. He is a wonderful man, and if he thinks Hippo Cafe is a must visit, DAMMIT, it is a must visit. The place feels ripped straight out of the 80s with artwork of musicians including Elvis and Willie Nelson, along with Alf, ET, and Gizmo. It is definitely dated, but in the best way. Looking at the menu, they have everything you would expect a diner to have. Everything is decently priced and affordable. I ordered two breakfast tacos and a tea. One was bacon, egg, and cheese. The other was chorizo, egg, and cheese. They were not winning any awards, but my god they were like an omelet on a tortilla. They were filled with eggs. With a little picante sauce, they were great and felt like a classic diner meal. The service is great. Our lady was attentive and very friendly to us. That seems to be the vibe here. There's a lot of 1 stars here, but trust the guy with the Yelp Elite badge and the essay of a review, it's not a 1 star establishment. It's more. This place feels historic and gets plenty of love from regulars in the city. You know what you are getting into when you visit, but what does that really mean? You are getting old town love. A classic meal. A feeling like you have been standing your whole life and you just sat down. That is Hippo Cafe. RIYL: Your classic cafe or painting of 80s icons (Alf)

He was inexperienced and we witnessed frustration from other servers that he was asking basic questions to. He asked what we wanted with no tablet or paper to write it down. Once we did order, with an experienced server stepping, the food was not good. I asked for scrambled eggs, came out like an omelet and with a burnt oil taste. The hash browns had no flavor and were almost burnt on top and undercooked below. The bacon was edible. The only saving grace was the biscuit. Fluffy and amazing, the sausage gravy was not good. The other dish was the same. When he gave us the ticket, saw the food still on both plates, he didn't even ask how it was. May try again, but definitely not for breakfast

I had a mini caprese salad and the veggie sandwich, added red onion, pesto, shredded lettuce and banana peppers . The portions on the sandwhich were perfect , not too little or too much of anything, bread was toasted just right- one of the best veggie sandhwiches i've had in a while forsure. The mini caprese salad was good but tomatoes were cut a little too large for my liking and possibly needed a little more glaze and basil. We ordered some spicy bomba sauce on the side to just see what it was- it tasted like a buffalo sauce to me. didn't end up using it as the sandwhich was good as ordered. Definitely recommend giving them a try & I can't wait to come back! FYI: seems the roads in the area were just changed as Google maps has us turning left (north bound) onto main st from 79 however it is now south bound only traffic so pay attention to signs- I did report the change to google but who knows how fast they will update.

Hutto keeps surprising me. I did not know there were restaurants of this caliber here…read more The location is charming, with historic buildings that gave me East Coast college town vibes. Just a heads up: there are steps and no visible ramp, so accessibility could be an issue unless there's a back entrance at the same level I did not see. Learned that this used to be a food truck prior to the brick and mortar location. The menu has plenty of panini options (including vegetarian and lighter wraps). We tried the Hello Sunshine (substituted ham for double turkey) and the Chipotle Beef. Food came out hot and fresh. Loved the bread on both. For the Hello Sunshine, it was a good sandwich and I enjoyed it but it didn't stand out in any particular way for me. However, the Chipotle Beef was where it was at. Loved this one, the jalapenos added a nice kick and the chipotle mayo with cheddar really brought it together. Service was warm and friendly. The pricing felt fair for the quality and freshness. They also have pastas which looked pretty good, will try them one day for sure once we have tried the rest of the sandwiches. I'm specifically looking at you chimichurri beef and chicken pesto! 4.5 rounded up.
