I was heading home from College Station after a Master Naturalist conference. I'd skipped breakfast…read morethat morning, turning down my host's kind offer--a decision I quickly regretted. Halfway home, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, I was suddenly both hungry and queasy. I asked Siri to "find food near me," but she kept trying to send me miles off my route. Then, like a beacon, I spotted a Whataburger sign in the distance and made a beeline for it. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not big on fast food. Fortunately, Whataburger is the exception. I've always loved their food, and even after the company's sale to outsiders, I haven't noticed any change in quality. I really hope my doctor doesn't check Yelp, because the moment I walked in and saw the sign for a Dr Pepper Blackberry Shake, I knew resistance was futile. I ordered a medium--though I was absolutely eyeing the large--and it was incredible. Cold, creamy, and perfectly sweet, it hit the spot. For my meal, I went with the Avocado Bacon Burger because it just sounded right. When it arrived, it was served on thick Texas toast like a patty melt, loaded with crispy bacon and delicious grilled onions. It was gloriously messy--and I didn't care one bit. I paired it with a side of onion rings, the same classic ones I've enjoyed for years. This particular Whataburger is attached to a truck-stop-style gas station but has its own entrance and the feel of a standalone restaurant. It might be new, I'm not sure--but I can tell you the staff was friendly, and the place was spotless.

Tonight, changed all those good experiences. I ordered online and sat in the lobby waiting. 7 orders all before I ordered received their food. I was next. 15 minutes roll by and still no food. The employee that was handing out all the orders decided to start talking to the employees cooking the food. 5 more minutes later, the employee taking orders felt sorry for me and asked if I was waiting for an order. I told him I was and he went and found it sitting in the food warmer. I just wanted to say thanks Whataburger for the rubbery fries and old burger!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen (drumroll) you guessed it...BLUE BELL ICE CREAM!! Spoiler alert they failed to have my favorite daiquiri ice but you're not going to lose me over that. (Hint: just saying for future options. I'll be on the lookout next time I'm rolling down 290 East.) All good and well, the girls behind the counter were attentive and nice. And the restaurant rang of a good place to go after a go hometown Buffalo's Friday night football game. (This is Texas you know.) Thanks Reba (if there is a flesh and blood Reba out there) for expanding to your latest downtown location. LOVE IT!

We went through the drive-through, and it went really quickly-Despite the amount of cars that was in the drive-through. It kind of reminded me of an old timey diner... similar to In-N-Out, burger... As far as style. They have a very small menu of burgers, fries, drinks, and shakes. However, this place is nothing like In-N-Out. I'm not a fan of In-N-Out.(sorry) P. Terry's much faster and I felt like we were only in line for maybe eight minutes. The Service was very friendly and helpful with questions that we had... Since we've never been there before. The burgers were fantastic. Much better quality than any fast food restaurant. The burgers were thick , juicy, and flavorful. The buns were very soft and tasted more fresh than typical fast food, restaurants buns. They also make their own sauce, which was actually good... I usually don't like "special sauces". My daughter also got a Carmel shake, which actually tasted really good as well. We look forward to having this again on our next road trip.

I genuinely cannot believe I've never written a review for Paw-Paw's Catfish House because we have…read morebeen coming here for YEARS and I love this place so much. There are restaurants you try once because they're trendy... and then there are places like Paw-Paw's -- the kind that become part of your family's story over time. From the fried deviled eggs, to the seafood platters, to the chicken tenders, to the genuinely wonderful staff, there just isn't a better spot for this kind of old-school comfort food experience. And the staff? Always SO friendly and welcoming. Every single time we come in, it feels less like "customer service" and more like old friends excited you finally stopped by so they can catch up with you awhile. That kind of warmth cannot be faked, and it makes such a difference. Now let's discuss these fried deviled eggs. Because respectfully... who allowed them to be this good? You think deviled eggs have reached their final form and then Paw-Paw's comes in like, "Hold my beer." Crispy, crunchy, creamy, flavorful perfection. We start most meals with them because not ordering them would simply be poor decision making at this point. I usually get the chicken tender basket and LISTEN -- these aren't sad little freezer tenders pretending to be a meal. These tenders are literally as big as my hand. Juicy, tender, flavorful, cooked perfectly every time. My adult kids are obsessed with the seafood platter: three pieces of fried catfish and three jumbo fried shrimp with fries, pinto beans, slaw, hushpuppies, and homemade tartar or cocktail sauce. And when I say the catfish tastes CLEAN, my fellow seafood people will understand exactly what I mean. No muddy taste, no weirdness -- just fresh, crispy, perfectly fried fish done right. And the portions? Paw-Paw did NOT come to play. Nobody is leaving hungry unless that was a personal choice. What I love most, though, is the feeling of the place. The small-town care. The heart that clearly goes into the food. The old-school comfort vibe that feels increasingly rare these days. Places like this matter. And Paw-Paw's is absolutely one of them.

Tasted like it was microwaved. The patty was overcooked and extremely dry. Once again the patty appeared to be a frozen store bought patty. Overall the burgers were overpriced based on the quality of the burgers we received. We were disappointed.
