Reminds me of Panera bread except local. The lunch specials are a STEAL - it comes with a drink and side salad or fruit salad. I thought the drink was going to be a small cup but it was HUGE. I wish the paninis had more substance but I loved the flavors (something about basil pesto that I really love too). Ingredients also tasted fresh and we didn't wait too long for it all to come out. If anyone needs to make a pit stop, I would recommend this place.

The food tastes like it came straight out of a family kitchen--fresh, hearty, and downright delicious. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a hometown diner: locals chatting over coffee, a welcoming vibe the moment you walk in, and a staff that treats you like you've been coming there for years. Everyone is genuinely friendly, and it's clear this spot is a community favorite. One of the small town touches the place boasts is that it's connected to a boutique, so you can enjoy a great meal and then browse around a bit. Nestled in this little Texas town, Darlin's Diner just has that warm, welcoming feeling that makes you want to sit a little longer and come back again. Small town, big flavor, and even bigger hospitality. Highly recommend.

To many times we have pulled up to the mainstream go to places. But Located in a small town right off I-10. Beautiful old town. Right in line with the other boutique shops was Dewberry Cafe. You could tell, this is where locals come. Soon as I opened the door I knew I wanted to sit down. Refills a plenty - fantastic coffee! Just like mom used to make. Eggs / bacon / biscuits and gravy. Huge waffles / hash-browns - everything was fresh. Staff were very attentive to anything requested. Did I mention the coffee,,,,, 5 star review !

We got home to find that 1 item was missing from our order, and the rest of the food was absolutely terrible. The chips in our nachos were soggy and cold, the meat on the nachos was cold and dry, and they use American cheese on the nachos. I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't use cheddar or "queso". One of our meals was a combination meal and was comes with a cheese tostada.... take a look at the "cheese" tostada. The staff was friendly, but the place seemed to be understaffed because you have to wait a long time to place your order, and they just let the phone ring off the hook. Save your money, do not eat here! If I could give zero stars I would.

First off, I'm going to start off by saying that Yelp is run by a bunch of extortionists. They…read moreallow reviews by competitors and disgruntle current and former employees without the option to even consider removing those and others that are proven to be unfounded. This violates their own content guidelines but they don't care. Yelp is also full of a bunch of people that will cry over the smallest things. Such as the person that had ONE bad thing happen after 20+ years of going there... "I have been a faithful patron of this restaurant for over 20+ years.". Gives them a one star review. That being said, We are new to the town and wanted to try something different. There isn't much in the way of choices so we gave this place a try. My thoughts at first were "oh no, what did we get into..." but I was WAY wrong. I had the Chicken Enchiladas Verdes and my wife had the chicken fajitas. We've both had these dishes at other establishments so we were able to get a good comparison. The chicken in the enchiladas was cooked well and was shredded evenly. Meaning that there were no large clumps of un-shredded chicken. It wasn't dry and it had a good flavor. My wife said the chicken in her meal had a flavor that reminded her of a restaurant we ate at on our trip to Mexico. They only gave her 2 tortillas but she was able to get more without trouble. The look and feel is typical of a small town older establishment but it's clean and the food is good. There must be a reason they have been in business for over 45 years! I would definitely give them a try again and recommend them as a place to eat.

While in the area, for work, I decided to stop in to Tillie's Cafe for an early lunch and to grab…read morean iced coffee. I found this spot on Yelp and was super pleased with the service, the selection, the strong WiFi, the decor, and the overall vibes here that was super welcoming. Parking was easy off the street and there was plenty of other storefronts to wander & window shop as I made my way to Tillie's. This whole area is great so anywhere you park is going to be close. For my coffee I really enjoyed the iced Golden Ticket coffee I got that included a caramel and a hazelnut flavor with a nice house made cream added to the top. It was so tasty! For food it was hard to choose. Everything from "brekkie", or breakfast, to lunch looked so good as listed on their menu. I ended up with one of their "Handhelds" of the Besto Pesto that included sliced turkey, homemade pesto (nut-free too!), mayo, and some delicious house made pickles. This sando came with a side of house made chips as well and was the portion for my lunch. Since I was driving back to Austin (an hour+ away) I decided to get through all of what was on my plate and not take any leftovers home but I could've!!! I really loved their decor and the long large and beautiful wooden community table they had near the back of the cafe. I saw a whole group of women (more than 6 of them!) gathered around, chatting, and having tea. I assumed they were locals because like them, I would be hanging out here all day with my laptop and/or friends all day if I could. Highly recommend coming in and checking out what you can find to have while here. From coffees, breakfast, lunch, and even refreshing tasty sparkling drinks you will find something you want to have and probably keep coming back for in the future. When I am in the area again, this will definitely be part of my plans in stopping into and eating at again.

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.

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.
