I got my order to go, and they were pretty quick getting my New Yorker out to me. The bathroom was clean, and the restaurant was quite big. Everyone seemed nice inside as well.

The last time we were here was probably over a year ago and we decided we wouldn't come back…read more Unfortunately, a good friend who is on temporary diet restrictions wanted to go, so we did. The dill pickle lemonade was surprisingly good! But... The reason we stopped coming was the shockingly minimal amount of meat on the sandwiches, and the high prices for meat that can't even cover the bread. It hasn't changed, I can't believe they are still in business, this is the same reason we stopped going to (the now closed) Schlotsky's). The amount of ham on those sandwiches seem to be ok, but... I order a 1/2 and 1/2 with a garlic steak and a "bbq" honey pork. The tiny slivers of meat that were there were not appealing at all, they were both the same odd color of grey, and again, couldn't even cover the bread. The flavor (like the meat) was almost non existent. I couldn't even tell which was which... I literally used about six napkins throughout the course of 2 sandwich halves?? What was leaking out? It wasn't water? As I longingly gazed out the window at Chick Fil A I lamented the loss of $35 for sandwiches and drinks for 2 people. So long McAllisters, you blew it for good this time.

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.

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.

I originally ordered the Turkey and Dressing but after being informed the dressing would have to made from scratch after a morning catering job, I decided not to wait for it and changed my order to the fish. The fish was excellent. It was lightly breaded and tasted so good I didn't add any condiments or tartar sauce. I choose the seasoned rice for my side. It was good too but a bit too wet. There were a few more menu selections I'd like to come back and try sometime. I ordered the Funnel Fries for dessert. They were good but I would have preferred more powdered sugar than the icing provided in the cup.

Once we were done we headed toward our personal objective of picking up our new kitteh. Flash forward to Stephenville for a one nighter. Blast down I-20 toward Abilene. Tiny package picked up. And then, Texas. Just a little over an hour to nowhere Brownwood for lunch. Three hours to home after that. And just like that we dined bringing our second spynx home. We arrive to a small wait. A few minute later kitty carrier on the same table from a few years ago. You'll want to start with the cornbread even though your server will bring rolls minutes later. Regular butter for the purist on both. Both excellent bread bites. I guess that's an appetizer if you ever need one. I suggest you don't order anything more. As for entrees my first choice was the Shiner Bock fish and chips but no beer...boooo. Went back to my first pick from my initial visit. The dish had changed a bit. The sorta cream sauce has been replaced by a remoulade sauce. I omitted the rice and hoped that the squash casserole was as good as old fave from Black Eyed Pea. Good bites and the most of the staff stopped by to see the new little one. She liked her chicken and dumplings too.

I loved that they kept the bicycle-themed decor- it's a charming tribute to its history. There's a good amount of parking on the right side of the building, though it can get pretty busy, so just a heads up! Here's what my friends and I ordered: Sidewalk Surfer Just FYI, this is only available on Fridays and Saturdays! You can tell all the ingredients are fresh, but I do wish the portion size was a bit larger. That said, the masa cake was unique, so I'm glad I got to try it. Death Grip If you're craving something sweet and savory, this is the one. It tastes like a donut sandwich with deep-fried brioche bread and a side of jam (which has a bit of a kick!) It's definitely on the heavier side but flavorful! Peddler If you're in the mood for something lighter, I'd recommend the Peddler. It's a more refreshing option compared to the Deathgrip. The food took a little while to come out, but our server was incredibly kind and welcoming. She checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu the next time I'm in Brownwood!
