Great local sandwich shop in the heart of a cute Texas town! Try to jalapeño grilled cheese on jalapeño cheddar sourdough bread and a Dublin, Texas craft soda. Finish up with an ice cream cookie sandwich. Great small town charm. Friendly folks. read more

So delicious! They smoke their own meats for their sandwiches and the potato salad is to DIE for!

Stopped in here on Saturday afternoon while passing through Hico. What a find! I adore finding these fabulous places in small towns. My husband and I each had a sandwich. I had the jalapeño grilled cheese. It was amazing. I also got a chocolate malt to go which was made perfectly. The two young people that were working the store were so friendly. My only disappointment is that I don't live closer to get to come more often but I will make it a point to return some day. read more

Great spot to stop on the road. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended if in the area.

Really good setting, quaint country lunch place with not a lot of food options, but solid ones. Props for having a couple of vegetarian friendly options (didn't have to cheat yay!) and an ice cream bar too read more

The food is top notch. We had the Chicken Salad Sandwich on the Jalapena Roll with a side of Baked Potato Salad. Say yes to the Pickles. The restaurant is designed beautifully, the music was perfect and service was spot on. Great stop on way to Hill Country! read more

Fabulous sandwiches and casual, fun environment. Get the jalapeño bread when you order! It's not hot and is sooo good. Also, grab a Dublin soft drink in the cooler. They're the best sodas. We go quite often and are happy they're in town. read more

Excellent all the way around. We almost missed trying this place since the basic yelp screen said ice cream and frozen yogurt, not until I delved deeper into yelp did I see a pic with food and sandwiches listed after the treats. Next time passing through will definitely stop again! Pimento cheese yummy with just right amount of kick. Turkey melt yummy. Baked potato salad I could eat all day! And they have Henry's Ice Cream to finish off. And friendly staff too!! read more

Stopped here on our way to the hill country. So glad we did. It's our new favorite place. We had the chicken salad sandwich. One of the best we've ever had. Had the green salad and it was fresh and delicious. Do yourself a favor and stop here. Can't wait to try the ice cream next time. read more

Great customer service and delicious ice cream, they had a variety of good flavors to chose from!

Really friendly. They had just vlosed, but when they saw us, they invited us to come in. We just had the ice cream and it was delicious. Several flavors to choose from as well as sandwiches. They also had a big selection of craft sodas. read more

I am not a frequent reviewer, so when I do review, I've got something important to say. In this case, that thing is POTATO SALAD AND KINDNESS. We stopped in with our kids on a Saturday road trip, and I didn't have high hopes-- usually 16 reviews is a gamble, even if they are good reviews. We accidentally walked into the liquor store which shares a building (and owner) with Eis. Staff was SO friendly, and the wine selection was actually pretty awesome-- a really nicely curated selection even for a larger city so it was a treat to see in a small town. The owner could not have been kinder. Finally made it next door to Eis. My kids ate ice cream for lunch-- it was from a local creamery and they had just opened the carton so it was FRESH. It was not crappy Blue Bell, either-- a nice change of pace for small town Texas eateries. I had a ham sandwich on jalapeño cheese bread and a side of pasta salad; my husband had the turkey melt on white with potato salad. We split and shared. It was all really good-- the bread was locally sourced and toasted just perfectly, and it was so buttery and soft. The winner though? The hubs-- hands down the turkey and potato salad were the better of the two, which is saying something because my choices were excellent. Two more things worth mentioning-- the owners and staff are so nice. SO, so nice. Friendly, and real proud of their product. Lastly, bathrooms are clean. Incredibly. This from a mama traveling with her kids. Not a speck of dust even in the corners or on the baseboards. Bravo! read more

Enjoyed the hometown family-owned sandwich shop. Absolutely loved the jalapeno cheddar grilled cheese sandwich with jalapeno bread. Enjoyed the old fashioned bottled sodas to choose from. My daughter love the Frito pie. Establishment is very clean and organized. Staff is very friendly and quick service. Love the old school vintage environment. We purchase three sandwiches and three sodas for a total of $28. Definitely a must if you're visiting Hico read more

Delicious food! The turkey melt on their homemade jalapeño cheddar sourdough was amazing. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the icecream.

I make it a point to stop in when traveling thru Hico. The smoked chicken salad sandwich hits the spot everytime. Great customer service, friendly owner and always has quality music playing. Stop in if you're down for Wilco and ice cream. Avoid the name brand chains and buy local. read more

It's right here on this corner that brushy bill ( Billy the kid) killed over with a heart attack. It might of been because of how good this place is. Simple but super fresh and high quality sandwiches in one of my favorite down town squares anywhere. read more

My family and I went here for lunch on Monday. We had never been here before but we are not returning. The cashier, Amber, and her helper (don't know her name; could have been the owner) were not wearing masks. I don't know whether the people who prepared our food were wearing them because they could not be seen from the dining room. There is NO excuse for this. We've been living with this pandemic since March. People are STILL getting sick and dying. How many more have to die before everyone in this country takes it seriously and wears a mask in public? I will be calling the TX Dept of Health and Hico Chamber of Commerce about this. This situation is hypocritical of the restaurant employees considering that they have a hand sanitizer station outside of the restaurant asking customers to use it, but the workers can't be bothered to wear masks. read more

All "local" ingredients is the specialty- cheese, meats, breads.... farm/bakery to table concept. Quaint sandwich shop.

Great little find on the way down 281. Food tastes great and fresh. Nice historic bundling within waking distance of main town of Hico.

Yummy Ice cream!! My son had the mint chocolate chip and my daughter had the Mexican vanilla both were amazing! Great customer service! Will be back to try the rest of the flavors and the sandwiches! read more

We had lunch at the Eis Cafe in April when we were on our way to Fredericksburg to see the wildflowers. We had the most delicious smoked chicken salad sandwich any of us had ever eaten! It was amazingly good! We had a nice conversation with the young man who owns the shop and learned that they use all local or Texas-made products. I told my children about how good the food was, so my daughter, son-in-law, and I stopped in again last week on our way to the beach. The chicken salad sandwich was as delicious as I remembered it being. Their pimento cheese was also very tasty - rather hot & spicy - but so good! All of us were very happy with our lunches! I highly recommend stopping at the Eis Cafe if you want a very tasty lunch! read more

Excellent!!!! Heading to San Antonio for a graduation and dreading the usual Dairy Queen stop. I decided to hit up yelp for some suggestions. I picked Eis and My family absolutely loved every bit of food we ordered. All four of us ordered something different. Turkey melt, chicken salad, grilled cheese and grilled pimento cheese. Sides were potato salad, pasta salad and the plates come with two garlic dill pickle slices. We left nothing. It was absolutely delicious! I'm so excited to have a new stop on my route to San Antonio. We also had ice cream after lunch and it was super creamy and tasty. We asked and were told Eis is German for ice cream. Pronounced like the two things on your face that you see with. HaHa! read more

We took the back roads back to Austin and stopped for gas and lunch in Hico. This lunch place is so awesome! My husband and I both had the turkey melt on the jalapeño sourdough. I kinda wish we would have ordered two different meals, but neither of us were going to budge from the turkey melt. It was one of those sandwiches that when you eat it all and you realize its gone, you're sad. But man, it was so good! The guys working were really friendly, place was clean, 5 stars all around. Can't wait to ride the Harleys here when it gets warmer. Definitely would ride 3 hours for another sandwich! read more

Jalapeno cheddar grill cheese and ribeye sandwiches are good also good place to get some ice cream

Very clean and cute! Servers were nice and patient with my kids while they chose which ice cream they would like. Huge scoops! We just had ice cream, but their sandwiches looked yummy too. Nice tables in front of the restaurant to sit and enjoy the sunshine outside. read more
