    Salad with grilled chicken breast and fresh local peaches at Lady Bird Lane Cafe at the Science Mill
    Inga C.

    Part of our experience at the Science Mill -- a nice day from San Antonio -- is a lunch break at the café. We can count on fresh, healthy, local food, including simply prepared foods that the kids will like. On a recent visit, the salad incorporated fresh local peaches. The café is accessible from inside the Science Mill as well as from the street -- Lady Bird Lane. There are two interior seating areas and one outside patio. The iced tea is nice and strong to keep you awake on the drive home to San Antonio.

    Watermelon, feta and Kalmata olive salad. Delicious combo of sweet, salty and fresh!

    Loved this place! Stopped in for a late lunch after hiking and swimming and I was starving. They did not disappoint! I was all set to order the bacon, avocado and havarti sandwich, and then Al pointed out the daily specials. This made my original choice difficult because there was a watermelon, feta and Kalmata olive salad. So I got both and took the leftovers home. This will now be my lunch spot after hiking!

    Grilled pimento cheese sandwich and chips!

    This is a sweet little place and serves wonderful sandwiches. And the homemade pickles are the best I have ever tasted.

    Simple menu in a small location. Their menu changes daily so don't rely on anything posted online.

    Diamond in the rough. Not much sidewalk appeal but the food was terrific just like the man who took our order

    This was such a friendly place for dinner. The service was so good, and it felt like they cared…read moreabout everyone who walked in the door. My parents loved their chicken fried steak and talked about it for a week seriously. Ha! Also, the peach cobbler is almost like if bread pudding and cobbler had a baby, and it's to die for! I would love to see some more vegetarian (or even vegan) options on the menu, though. We didn't know they had a shortened menu during the holidays, so I was bummed that they had taken the meatless burger option off the menu. I know that it is Johnson City, but with all the tourists, a good veg option would be really appreciated. I did have a delicious tomato soup, though. They have great drinks, too, and they had a few fun ones for the holidays. I will definitely return here with the fam when we are back in town.

    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.
