    Our group was looking for a late night place to eat in Shiner and decided on Friday's. We love to…read moresupport local and were excited to give it a shot. Unfortunately, everything about the experience was off. 2 out of 4 of the meals we ordered came out incorrect with missing items, and they completely forgot about one of our group member's meals and didn't check on us until the rest of the group was finished eating. When we finally were able to tell our server we were missing a meal, it was another 15 minutes until the meal came out. When the missing order came out, it was obviously fresh, but it was flavorless. The French fries were undercooked and the "spicy" chicken tenders had no spice or flavor. I don't think I have ever had a bad chicken tender until I visited this restaurant. Worst of all, there was no apology for the mix-up. I'd recommend visitors try a different restaurant in the area.

    No words. Loved this place. Will likely not eat here again. Staff very friendly. It's not their…read morefault. My husband stopped in to pick up a late dinner to go for my birthday. Goes inside. Text messages me. Brand new menu. I usually get a bacon cheeseburger. No bacon. But I can get a burger. Okay. No tator tots. But I can get mashed potatoes. No salad bar. But I can get seasoned fries. And no. Onion. Rings. No onion rings. NO onion rings. They were freshly made and crunchy and amazing. And one of the few places left you could still get homemade onion rings. It's too late to go anywhere else, so he orders us both a burger. It comes with a sauce. Menu states a, "brioche" bun. Well folks. The wilted slimy tomatoes I got on top of a very greasy (and not the good kind of greasy) burger, with no pickles (they only have spears for fried pickle spears now), two random sized sloppy onion slices (not a ring of an onion, let's call it like, a fajita strip), covered by an entire piece of steam-cooked, nearly unidentifiable, leafy green, maybe a leaf of ripe romaine? My bun sloppy wet. They did try to grill the bun first but the moisture from the solid mass of meat-steamed greens was too much for it. Fell apart while trying to eat it. Well, I thought it couldn't get any worse, but I was WRONG, so. Wrong. My husband is not a baker. Great at many things. Not that. Fridays had wonderful pies and cookies. He was sweet enough to pick up a brownie and a chocolate pie, since it was my birthday after all. $16+ for a small chocolate pie. Okay. I went to the kitchen to cut a piece for each of us. Couldnt even open the lid since half the pie filling was still liquid and had slid out of the shell like a gelatinous mass of dark brown goo. Truly appetizing. I gave up on that and turned to the brownie. It looked promising. Small chocolate chips. Good size. I took a bite. Other than the sharp, dried edges of the brownie and the dry tasteless mouthful of crumbs I now had, nothing notable. Not worth the calories. We went back to the pie. We got to looking at it. It had a random, kitchey, "F" logo sticker on top of the clear plastic lid to denote new branding and theme to go with the new menu. I moved the pie to a different counter in the kitchen. I noticed a large white label on the underside, it was the nutrition facts. Weird. Homemade and freshly-made items don't typically need to have that type of sticker. I looked closer. "Manufactured by Quality Baking Products - Houston, TX". Are you kidding me? Nearly $20 for a mass-made pile of liquid poo? I tasted the filling, it tasted like Dairy Queen's hot fudge syrup. I also got the grit of fresh granulated sugar. You know the kind when you didn't bake something long enough for the sugar to actually reach melting temp? I looked closer yet again, I don't see any browning on the crust edges, and I don't see any browned filling on top of this "pie". It's nearly raw. I don't know if this Houston company screwed up, or if Friday's was supposed to bake it to temp, THEN sell it, either way, no one's eating raw pie. We just put it in the oven to try and salvage something of this absolute disaster of a birthday dinner. Pray for us. At this point I'm just hoping the burger I choked down won't give me food poisoning. Needless to say we won't be going back.

    My husband and I have stopped at Hruska's multiple times when traveling. It's a gas station that…read morehas a convenient store, a grill and bakery. 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.

    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.
