But that's not because it wasn't delicious. It was. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. We started with the fried mushrooms, which are an amazing deal. For just $8 they give you a very generous portion and they taste great. The sweet potato fries are large and lightly battered. The side salad was fresh and tastey with homemade croutons and a nice dressing (we chose Balsamic). The star of the show was the burger. It was perfectly cooked from quality meat, and so original. Peach jalapeño jam and fried jalapeño was an unexpected but tasty combination. We enjoyed our time here and would happily return.

This is quite an unassuming place; it's not a huge place and seems pretty basic, but wow, was I…read moresurprised. First off, the burgers are absolutely huge. Despite their size, they are juicy and have plenty of flavor. The regular burger was tasty and prepared well, but that bacon burger with the jam was fantastic. It was slightly sweet and I wish I didn't share half of it. The fries, despite their size were perfectly crisp. The wings were very crispy and easily devoured by the table. Their ranch was also creamy and nice. I'm sure we'll stop by this place whenever we visit Fredericksburg again, but if you're in the area and want a big ol' tasty burger, give this place a try.

My husband and I went to LeRoy's Tex Mex BBQ for lunch while in the area. We parked, and walked to…read morethe restaurant. The parking lot isn't paved but we didn't have any issues. We walked around on the grounds and noticed that there is a separate patio and a bathroom with seating outside. The women's bathroom was clean. Now to the restaurant. We walked in the restaurant and it wasn't very big. You could see the menu on the wall, the ordering counter was close, the food pickup counter was next to the ordering counter, the seating was in the middle, and the bar at the other end. After walking in and checking out the menu we walked up to the ordering counter. The person that took our order was friendly and patient with me. I wanted the El Burger that was listed on the menu but I didn't notice that it's only available on Wednesdays. The person told me that so I checked the menu out again to see what burger I wanted. I decided on LeRoy's Smash Burger which comes with smashed brisket patties, pickles, bacon & onion jam. I ordered mine without cheese. It came with a choice of a side so my husband and I picked the potato salad to share. I also wanted to try the Smoked Pork Belly Menudo which substitutes the traditional tripe meat with smoked pork belly. This came with onions, cilantro, and chopped jalapenos that you could add if you wanted. My husband and I decided to share LeRoy's Nachos which has tortilla chips covered in beans, queso, avacado, pico, crema, salsa, BBQ sauce and jalapenos. These come with your choice of meat and we decided on brisket. My husband ordered one taco to try called Chancho La Panza which comes with pork belly, beans, cilantro, and queso fresco. The Food. LeRoy's Smash Burger was delicious. I liked the flavor of the meat and the jam. The potato salad had a mustard flavor to it which I didn't mind. The Nachos were tasty. The BBQ sauce in them gave them a hint of sweetness in the midst of all of the saltier ingredients. The Menudo was spicy. I wasn't expecting it to be so hot but it was tolerable. The smoked pork belly mixed in the soup was good. There was also a crunchy texture mixed in that added to the experience. I tried my husband's pork taco and it was delightful. There was so much flavor packed into a single taco. Overall the experience was positive. The restaurant was small but comfortable, the service was good and the food was fresh and delicious.

My husband and I ordered Leroy's Smash Burger and the pulled pork sandwich. My favorite was definitely the Leroy's burger. SOOO GOOD! BTW I think their potato salad is fantastic! Really unique!

There is nothing I enjoy more than wandering into a small town and finding a fantastic restaurant!…read more Trust me, you now have another reason to drive to Johnson City. Yes, they have antique stores, a mortor cycle museum, the annual Rodeo, and LBJ's boyhood home. But they have some very interesting restaurants as well. Let me tell you about Proof of Cooper. My wife and I were on one of my adventures, picking up some items an hour from home. It's hot, late afternoon and we wanted a cocktail and good food. We walked into Proof of Cooper to look at the menu, we were greeted by lovely smells of cooking coming from the kitchen. This was the place for us. We ordered an Old Fashion and a Peach Fashioned. My Old Fashion was perfect! Great balance of whisky and sweetness. My wife really enjoyed her Peach fashioned. The menu has a lot of variety, Texas favorites for sure. It was hard to choose. We were told they did their BBQ out back, this restaurant does not look like your typical BBQ place. The bar is home town but the dining room is Hunting club rustic. To order, I had the smoked turkey club on Texas toast with green beans, my wife had the BBQ sample plate with Mac and cheese & pit master beans. Her meat choices were brisket, pulled pork and spare ribs. My sandwich was great! The bread was toasted just right, the turkey has a nice smoky flavor with ham and bacon. Loved the green beans. Then I stole some of the pit master beans off my wife's plate. Oh some dam good. And so was the Mac and cheese. Brisket and pulled pork were tender, flavorful and just right, on par with some of the best bbq places I have eaten at here in Texas. Spare ribs were too firm for my wife but I enjoyed them. The staff was wonderful. Very helpful, nice and fun to work with. This is a family owned restaurant and the staff that we met were all born and raised here. We look forward to coming back to Johnson City and visiting Proof of Cooper again. If just to try the delicious looking desserts we had no room for, see our photos.

Let me first say I wish this establishment well, and hope they have success in their endeavors…read more I was in centex to visit daughter, and suggested a bbq tour of the small towns west of Aus. We arrived at P&C mid afternoon on a Monday. We were touring this and other towns, so only ordered the pulled pork sandwich, side of mac n cheese and side of mashed potatoes w gravy between the two of us. And some extra bbq sauce on the side. The pulled pork sandw comes premade with what looks to be homemade pickles, smoked pulled pork, coleslaw, & bbq sauce. The presentation is fairly impressive. Unfortunately, the taste did not measure up. We had bites of the sandwich as a whole, and also tasted the individual ingred by themself to get a feel for what contributed to the overall. The pulled pork was hit/miss. Some of it was generously smoked & that smokiness came through. Other bites of it the smoked flavor was not prominent. Mac n Cheese - solid. By far the best thing we tried. Super cheesy, flavorful. Nice work! Coleslaw - substandard. I'd say the C range. Pickles on the sandwich - they were thicker and appeared homemade. They didn't seem like they had been left to sit long enough on the shelf for the pickling to soak in. In appearance they were still very close to cucumbers instead of pickled cucumbers. Flavor wise they didn't taste like cukes, but nor did they add a dill-ish or sweet pickle flavor of substance. (Can see the pickles in attached pic, can see the color and texture doesn't look significantly pickled.) Sauce - extremely little flavor. The consistency was not watery, but you had to close your eyes and concentrate to taste what little flavor there was - as though it was watered down immensely. Sauce gets a D. Mashed potatoes & gravy. They served the gravy on the side. The potatoes themselves were good - a little buttery and therefore enjoyable. The consistency of the gravy was mealy - was unexpected, and odd. Lacked the common flavor of a hearty gravy begun with a roux of flour and meat drippings. (Zoom in on attached photo, you can see the mealy and almost-grainy texture of the gravy.) Overall we weren't impressed. The mac n cheese being the best thing is not what you expect at a bbq place. Like I said, we wish the establishment well. But we wouldn't come back when in Johnson City. Final note, the hostess/server was genuinely warm and friendly. She was wearing multiple hats, running around, but was pleasant and engaging.

The only reason this place doesn't get a 1 star is that none of us got sick after dining here :)…read more It would be a 3 if the food was even slightly better, but I'm putting them squarely at a 2 (my Beli score for them is between 1-2 so this makes sense). It's really just convenient for resort guests, and serves as the buffet restaurant too. You can either order buffet or a la carte. I perused the buffet options, which didn't look appealing at all. The a la carte options were your typical "heavy American fare" like burgers. I got the totchos, which are basically tater nots but nacho form. I'm not the biggest fan of jalapeños and sour cream, so maybe I should have requested a modification. But then it would have just been tater tots with tomatoes and onions. Not a 3 star dish. We got a corn bread to share, which was the only item I remotely found appealing. It was okay, but not as good as one I ate in Charleston, SC once. We thought the service was good despite a busy environment, up until our server spilled the rest of my dad's beer onto the table and me and my mom.

Swapped out the normal bun for a jalapeño cheddar option, went for sweet potato fries, and it was a winner.

If the entire crew is as good as him, they are pretty lucky! Cool ambiance, nice crowd, festive, just a winner of a spot. The wife got fish and chips and we split the cast iron pecan pie. All were top notch.
