Friendly folk - sure thing, no one's in a hurry, it's your chance to slow down a bit & relax. Brayden (sp?) was repeatedly on top of it all, excellent level of service.

I have been to cigar lounges around the country and this easily ranks among the top. Talk about a…read morehidden gem in a small town in Central Texas. First off, the lounge area is massive, with 4 HDTVs, leather couches and chairs to easily seat 30, plus several high-top tables and a coffee counter area with leather high-backs. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing with the ability to enjoy a cigar and watch the game or have a conversation. The store side features a nice selection of tobacco products and accoutrements for cigars and pipes. Most impressive is the gigantic walk-in humidor with a premium cigar selection rivaling big-city stores in NY and DC. The major difference is the price point, which is so low I am buying boxes for friends who work in cigar stores in the northeastern US! Even though I had never been here before I was greeted with famed Texas hospitality and met some wonderful people, both staff and regulars alike. The one downside is that they do not sell alcohol, though you are encouraged to bring your own and they will provide glasses, ice and anything else you may need. They also offer a very nice boutique coffee selection. If you are anywhere in the area, make a trip up here. You will be more than glad you did!

The place could have been a sizzles for ambience. It has a huge menu but sometimes it's better to do certain items great then a lot just okay. Veal marsala was brown gravy over spaghetti. The baked Tuscany had Canadian bacon in it and was not baked. The 3 tri apos were from frozen; calamari, mozzarella sticks and fried shrimp. Think Costco buy and serve. The Ruffino Chianti was rough and the house Grenache was surprisingly good. Do not get the house salad italian dressing.Its Catalina from Kraft.

On a slow evening with no event on the calendar, 1859 is still open, still serving, and still delivering. That kind of consistency is genuinely rare in Salado, and anyone who lives here knows it. They've recently added a full menu, and the food is excellent -- not bar-food excellent. Actually excellent. These owners put real time and resources into keeping this business worth coming back to. It shows. Highly recommended.
