    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!

    All I can saw is this place is a destination!!! A must visit destination! The food is awesome, the history and story the owner tells is amazing. Please as to talk to owner about how he named the bar and it's history with Bonnie and Clyde and movies it's been in. As for burgers, 10/10 and Jalapeño fries... 20/10! They are sliced fried jalapeños with ranch dressing..... amazing. Live music, great food, awesome service. This is a hidden gem in todays world.

    Duke with cheddar and tots for side.

    Found this unique biker watering hole based on the 4.8 score as we were in the area and gave it a try. Ordering is done at the bar and the food is brought out to your table. There are 3 different seating areas, we opted for inside for the a/c. Ordered chips & queso, which also came with salsa. I thought the chips were hard (borderline stale) but the queso was better than standard restaurant processed cheese dip. We both got the burgers. My double was cooked better than her single (which was well done with burnt edges) and was tasty. I upgraded to tots which were cooked perfectly to my well done request. There were minor pricing anomalies/error causing some irritation/confusion as their system nickels & dimes for adding cheese or tots. Ended up paying almost $50 for two with zero alcohol, so very pricey for what you get. Interesting history, location, friendly staff and owner...but we won't be back.

    Changing my review to one star. We will NEVER give this place a chance again. This time we tried…read morethe pizza again, and added wings. The pizza had toppings this time, but it was obvious that they'd changed the crust, because now it tastes just like a prepackaged crust from the grocery store. It was very burnt, hard, dry, and so nasty. My kids didn't even like it. That wasn't the worst part, the worst part was the RAW CHICKEN WINGS they gave us! I'm glad I didn't bite into the wings, I used a fork instead to pull a bite off. When I pulled the meat off, blood leaked out and the chicken was bright red, bloody, cold, and no where near cooked to a safe level for consumption. They gave us BLOODY UNCOOKED CHICKEN WINGS!!! This could've seriously made my family sick. Thinking back now, I should've reported this. Totally unacceptable. I don't know how this place isn't shut down by now. I guess the patrons are too trashed to notice or care, because there's always people in there that are obviously over-served. But anyways, if you like to play a game of "chicken", and want to risk your guts, be my guest. We will never go back and will warn others if they suggest eating there. Such a waste of time and money for throwing it all in the trash.

    RAW , COLD, severely undercooked chicken wings. No comment on the taste, cause, no way. This would've given us food poisoning for sure.

    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.
