I was greeted immediately, and the friendly staff was able to take my order asked me open questions on what specific sides and substitutions I want to make and even asked me if I wanted a lemon in my iced tea. If anyone knows about the iced tea game, McAlister's has it on lockdown. Amazing iced tea. I opted for the half suite half en suite, and it's the perfect blend of sweet, but not too sweet very fresh tea. The club sandwich is a great example of fresh ingredients mixed with Krispy, crunchy lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon. I'm happy that I'm able to substitute the standard white bread for rye bread. When you bite into the club sandwich, you can taste the deli meat along with the American cheese. The creaminess of the mayo also helps. Side salad another great example of fresh ingredients and I appreciate the dressing on the side.

They were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, constantly checking in on the dining room. Honestly, I'd expect this level of hospitality at a much higher-end spot, so that was a great surprise. I ordered the turkey club, and while it was solid, it was a little heavier on the mayo than I personally prefer--still totally tolerable, though. The real highlight was the Pineapple Upside Down Lemonade; it was absolute fire. I was a bit bummed they were already sold out of the Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake by the time we got there, but it's just another reason to come back and try it next time. Great service and a solid spot--will definitely be back!

They changed their menu from time to time, I do believe it's a seasonal choice and every time it's so fun the new salads and wraps they put together to choose from. They also have build your own, but I find that their combinations just pop the way they're marrying flavors. They have a generous beverage bar and they also sell juices. I had a beautiful salad and my son had a wonderful rap. We also got some hummus, which has a blend of olive oil in it and it served with carrots and celery. It was amazing! Their dining room is so comfortable and welcoming. They have a club where you earned savings. I was so pleased to find out today that I had to buy one get one free that they gave me for my birthday! I must've overlooked that email. It was a very nice surprise. I can't say enough nice things about mad greens!

The server was very kind but the service is on the slower end. The prices and quantity of food are all very reasonable. 2 chicken thighs: I got the 2 boneless chicken thighs hot flavored. The flavor was very subtle and not too strong. The chicken had a nice crunch and was very juicy, the portion was good too. I paired it with the Mac and cheese which was very good and cheesy. Peanut butter chocolate pie: The chocolate part of the pie was very good and a subtle chocolate flavor. The peanut butter part tasted like cheesecake as it was a little sour. The peanut butter part was not my favorite as it was too sour for me.

The atmosphere was laid-back, and the staff was friendly and got everything out pretty quickly. If you're not sure what to order, definitely get the Dirty Fries. They're loaded, flavorful, and easily one of the best items on the menu. They pair perfectly with the chicken and are worth the upgrade. Overall, I'd definitely come back and recommend giving Tumble 22 a try if you're craving some quality hot chicken and great comfort food.

They have great proportions of egg, cheese, bacon, chorizo, potatoes, and all that jazz. I think they have some of the best breakfast tacos I have had in town. I have had them a few times now. Yesterday, I went to Smokey Mo's for dinner because I wanted a baked potato desperately. I walked inside with only a few other people eating and no line. I ordered a chopped brisket baked potato with all the fixings, with an individual sized side of their pinto beans and a regular drink. They have plenty of drink options from bottled beverages, alcoholic beverages, and their Pepsi fountain drinks. They also have a section to serve yourself with pickles, onions, lemons, and peppers. It was only a few minutes before I got my meal, and the baked potato was excellent. I ate it as quickly as I could for recently having my wisdom teeth removed. It is a pretty large potato, and it was able to fill a hungry guy like myself up pretty well. The chopped brisket was plentiful and was quite savory. I missed brisket. As I finished my meal, I went to get a refill of my tea, and they had already removed the teas from their fountain drink area. There were still other customers inside besides me, and they were still open for another 40 minutes, so that was a little disappointing, but it did not really make or break the visit. I have not had their main barbecue, but it looks decent for being a seven days a week chain. That baked potato was delightful though. RIYL: A spuddo in Hutto.

What we got instead was a fistful of greasy fat with a few scraps of meat, slapped together like it didn't even matter. The bark? Nonexistent. Slices? Fiction. Flavor? Decent, yes--but it doesn't matter when the main event is a fat mound masquerading as brisket. This wasn't just a meal gone wrong; it ruined a rare, $100+ family gathering, turning what should have been warmth, laughter, and indulgence into awkward chewing and regret. Every bite screamed "cheap, careless, lazy," and every dollar spent felt like it vanished into smoke--literally. Smokey Mo's, your brisket is a betrayal in foil. If you want BBQ that actually honors your family gatherings, keep driving. Don't let anyone you love endure this!

I was originally going to order through the app but since they charge a 50¢ app fee and I was already here anyway I just ordered at the counter and everyone was very friendly and helpful. There were a ton of sandwiches to choose from so it took me a bit to settle on the New Yorker with corned beef and pastrami. One thing I love is that you can add vegetables to your sandwich for free like me adding spinach and black olives and sauteed peppers to mine which really made a great customization in my opinion. The dining room is comfortable with padded booths and nice colors, and in short this will be a great addition to the area.

I have heard high praise from locals, and at the end of the day, nothing beats a city's local diner. It is one of those places that closes by 3 pm every day and feels perfect for brunch after a Sunday church service. I came in a little after 11 am with the man who is basically the face of Hutto at his request. He has lived in Hutto for years and has countless stories of the city to share. We sat as he shared stories with my co worker and me about the history of the city. He is a wonderful man, and if he thinks Hippo Cafe is a must visit, DAMMIT, it is a must visit. The place feels ripped straight out of the 80s with artwork of musicians including Elvis and Willie Nelson, along with Alf, ET, and Gizmo. It is definitely dated, but in the best way. Looking at the menu, they have everything you would expect a diner to have. Everything is decently priced and affordable. I ordered two breakfast tacos and a tea. One was bacon, egg, and cheese. The other was chorizo, egg, and cheese. They were not winning any awards, but my god they were like an omelet on a tortilla. They were filled with eggs. With a little picante sauce, they were great and felt like a classic diner meal. The service is great. Our lady was attentive and very friendly to us. That seems to be the vibe here. There's a lot of 1 stars here, but trust the guy with the Yelp Elite badge and the essay of a review, it's not a 1 star establishment. It's more. This place feels historic and gets plenty of love from regulars in the city. You know what you are getting into when you visit, but what does that really mean? You are getting old town love. A classic meal. A feeling like you have been standing your whole life and you just sat down. That is Hippo Cafe. RIYL: Your classic cafe or painting of 80s icons (Alf)

There were a few people ahead of us, but the line moved quickly, giving us plenty of time to check out the huge menu and decide what we wanted. I went with the Chicken Fried Steak sandwich, loaded with lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes, while my wife chose the Tuna Salad sandwich. Both came out after a short wait, and wow--they were fantastic! The chicken fried steak was perfectly cooked (not overdone or underdone at all), with just the right amount of fresh toppings and a great bun. Everything was balanced, flavorful, and honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. (Pro tip: their signature Dirty Sauce makes it even better if you go for it!) The price was very reasonable too. We're already planning to come back regularly--this place is a winner!
