Strangest Dairy Queen I've ever been to. Pulled up in the drive thru and there was a truck at the…read morewindow. No answer at the menu board so I figure it's out - that's not uncommon. The truck leaves, I pull up... and get completely ignored for 5 minutes. Maybe they're understaffed? I'll wait a bit. There are clearly people inside working and no customers are at the inside counter. Nothing. I finally drive off and patronized a different restaurant. As I'm pulling away, the truck behind me pulls up and the window immediately opens to serve them. Maybe being in a small town, they knew I wasn't a local and ignored me? Maybe it was luck of the draw? Who knows? Not me... I never got any service. Who knows?

The food is world-class: thoughtfully conceived, beautifully executed, and consistently excellent. You would normally have to travel to Austin, Dallas, or Houston to find a restaurant of this caliber--and pay significantly more. The fact that Mary delivers this level of quality here, and does so consistently, is remarkable. Everything is cooked to order, exactly as it should be in a serious kitchen. This is not fast, mass-produced food--and that's the point. If you value freshness, precision, and quality, The Turtle delivers every time. The bar is equally outstanding, and one of my favorite places to sit and dine. This is an ideal place for date nights or when hosting out-of-town guests you truly want to impress. The Turtle impressed my hardest-to-please food critic, which says everything. For me, it has become a regular favorite--one of Brownwood's absolute treasures. Go for the food. Stay for the ambience. #thebar

The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better. It's become a tradition for us, and it never disappoints. If you're anywhere near Brownwood, it's definitely worth pulling off the road for.

As someone who loves ice cream and eats it often, they have one of the best homemade waffle cones to pair with their ice cream. Don't worry if you don't want a cone, they have cups and homemade cookies that you can make an ice cream sandwich with. They also serve shakes, acai bowls or a peanut butter protein bowl where you can pick your toppings. I tried the protein bowl today and topped it with granola, bananas, strawberries, coconut flakes, and honey. It was refreshing and hit the spot! I'll definitely be getting it again.

The only issue is that it closes early and is super packed on weekends with limited parking. My best option has been coming for lunch when possible during the week. It is absolute heaven enjoying their peach Moscato with a good book while catching some vitamin D as butterflys flutter around me. I don't care what type of day I'm having, this place makes it better instantly. They often have great deals. The last time I went they gave me some free cheese sticks with my purchase. It was very nice of the workers to let me sample a few options before deciding, and the customer service was smiley and friendly just as you would expect for such a classy and beautiful spot. I highly recommend this one if you need to decompress or just if you want to get out and enjoy the sun on your skin.

The review for Austin…read moreStreet Creamery on a site run by a large search engine said, "The salted caramel crunch was the best ice cream I've ever had in my life." Since we're both salted caramel fans, we were sold. Careful when you're looking for it (and you should), since it's got a small sign and the window is on the side of the building. (See pics) We can fully endorse the review that brought us; the salted caramel crunch was absolutely amazing. Steve uses top shelf ingredients and makes his own caramel. The ice cream is smooth and delicious. It's creamy (but not the gooey, mouth coating stuff made by a mega corporation pretending to be Scandanvian). There are chocolate chunks, about 1/8" thick, probably made from the quality chocolate that they use for other flavors. It's like home made if the person at home was an expert chef. I can't wait to go back.

I tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Birthday Cake flavors, which both tasted great. The birthday cake ice cream tasted slightly artificial, but the sprinkles added a fun crunch. The chocolate chip cookie dough tasted like real cookie dough and had small bites of their homemade cookies mixed throughout, though I do wish the chunks were bigger. Both flavors were creamy, not icy, and not overly sweet. Overall, it's a delightful stop downtown with easy, quick service and a lovely courtyard to enjoy your scoops. I'd happily come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Fredericksburg.
