    We recently moved here and stumbled across The Gar Hole, a rare gem here in North Texas. A hole in the wall bar with ice cold beer, great bar food, and top notch entertainment. Everybody here is so welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to spend summer evenings on the patio.

    Three soft tacos.  Priced reasonable.

    I'm ashamed to say that I have lived in Anna for five years and never made my way out to Westmintser that lies on the Anna border, much less Gar Hole. Boy, I didn't know what I was missing out on! I don't care for loud good music or large crowds (which Gar Hole is famous for) so I opted to go here on an early quiet Sunday morning when I knew it would not be busy. Gar Hole reminds me of the Texas I used to know. Very Texas small town feel. Very friendly staff, Texas pride everywhere and just an overall comfortable old school welcoming feeling. As I walked through the entrance doors, I was immediately greeted and welcomed by a gentleman in a t-shirt and shorts and a straw hat (whom I assumed was the owner as I later watched him checking on his staff and tending to obvious other frequent customers...a very polite owner/operator in t-shirts and shorts greeting customers on a Sunday morning is a very good sign in my book!). I was greeted at the bar by a very friendly and kind soul (Sorry I can't recall her name). I ordered two drinks (not at the same time!). They were made very well and generous with the pour. I placed an order for two taco orders to go. They were made very fresh and priced quite reasonably. Taste was spot-on! Overall, this place has it all. History, service, food quality and Texas Charm. (This place has a lot of interesting history. Look at other reviews or Google for more details.) I'm so glad I came here. I hope to frequent more often. The overpriced and lame big chain stuff popping up in and around Anna is quite frankly, embarrassing. This spot is a solid 6. But *yelp will only allow me 5!

    As I begin writing this I've already been in line 30 minutes. Let me point out the Only reason I'm…read morestanding in line this long is,Press releases say this place is closing. I've just ordered and they tell me it's another 25-30 minute wait. I'll be back with a review of the food and more details then. I'm back after a total wait of one hour! Let me say,it was worth the wait. If they are still open when you read this,it's worth the trip. I've had this place book marked several years. Opened in 1951, it's the quintessential small town burger stand. I just forgot about it until the other day when I read they're closing. Don't cry,it's because of real estate values. It's no longer economically feasible to make small profits working hard no matter how good the burgers are. The burgers are really good. This place is slammed. I saw two large door dash orders go out and a lot of people that must have ordered online Coming and going. Finally my name was called and I took my piping hot brown paper sack to the hood of my truck. Looking into the sack,loose fry,pull it out,bite it, perfect. Unwrap burger,looks fantastic, bitting into it.... satisfaction! I'm a sucker for small towns but Anna is no more. In only five years the influx of migrants from other states have fueled exponential growth. It's happening everywhere and places like Spurlocks are the victims. It's our loss too,as these quaint old places harbor a lot of history. The kind that built America. Usually the Yelp community competes to be the first to Review a new business. I find it satisfying in this case and honored that I may be the last to Review... The Malt Shop

    Found this gem on help when looking for a local ice cream shop in Anna!…read more Upon arriving and parking, you could tell this was an older business, but that it was gonna pump out some good old-fashioned food! And we were not wrong... We tried the cookies and cream malt, fried Oreos, as shown in the picture, and of course we had to get some fries. All came out piping hot, except for the malts, of course. My kid said it was one of the best malts they have ever had, which is a strong statement because they are ice cream connoisseur lol. Their fries were crinkle cut which just added to the old school feel the fried Oreos were cooked to perfection and exactly what I wanted There is a cute little indoor seating area next to the kitchen, but we didn't take advantage of it because we got our food to go. However, we will definitely be back now that we are locals.
