    After a morning hike in So Llano State Park, nothing better hits the spot. Coconut strawberry milkshake.

    After hiking South Llano State Park nothing hits the spot better than a strawberry banana milkshake.

    Great little place to stop for a bite! We had the fried pickle chips and they were AMAZING! Nice service, and definitely a favorite for locals. It seemed like a family reunion in there with how everyone knew each other! Haha

    Amazing little place in the cutest little small town! My family was passing through on our way home to California after visiting family and we stopped here for lunch. The lady that served us was super polite and friendly, and the food was delicious! Would 10/10 recommend stopping there again!

    Ok, it was super busy, so I'll start there to be fair. The little teen girls (2) that were serving were doing all they could and were friendly enough. However, the burgers came out 1/2 size the bun on a junior, and had cheese, so we had to wait for another. The first service was over 30 mins. Then we ordered a pizza later, so we expected a long wait only to finally ask for it in a box, and it came out ice cold and had been sitting a while. It went into the trash. I'd try again on a less busy day because the rest of the food was VERY good. They aren't permanently closed, so I'm not sure why it says that.

    The service was great. Seasoned fries are a must! The galaxy steak was excellent except for the gravy. Gravy seemed like it came from a jar.

    This little spot is actually so nice for a drop in if you want brunch food. We stopped here to eat…read morewhile on a road trip since it was one of the only sit down places I could find in the area that had things like eggs, bacon and pancakes etc - and we were not disappointed! I had a plate of French toast, my dad had a breakfast burrito, and my mom had pancakes and a side of eggs and bacon. The prices were all very reasonable, and our waitress was very attentive and sweet. There are absolutely immaculate bathrooms inside as well, which are between the shop and restaurant part of the building. Tons of parking outside too, it's a dirt lot.

Nestled in what Im assuming is a feed yard it has a small store with the kitchen/dining area located in the back. Super friendly service from the Cook/waitress/hostess....Few locals hanging out...always a good sign....Food took a bit to come out, but we were in No hurry...Food was Hot and fresh...Wife had the 2 Egg Plate with Bacon and Taters and I had the loaded Scramble....Everything was fantastic......and was exactly what we need for the hundreds of miles ahead of us.

They updated their porch to have more coverage which will be great once summer really hits. Inside is great too. We've sat in all the areas. We went all out for our brunch date (mom & dad time out). Cold brew with vanilla, caramel iced latte... yummmm! We started with zucchini fries and they were hot, crunchy and delicious. I had the brunch burger (it was huge!) with sweet potato fries. I love their sweet potato fries. Husband tried the special- biscuit love - says it's good for anyone who loves gravy and brunch dessert was the banana French toast - we got the banana on the side and a side of berries. Yum yum yum. Soft and pillowy. Thank you Sam! See you soon :)

I ordered the Eggs Benedict, substituting bacon for ham, with a biscuit and gravy on the side. The Eggs Benedict was good. I loved the unexpected touch of Swiss cheese, which added a nice twist to a classic dish. The hollandaise was a little on the sour side, but the bacon was cooked perfectly. The biscuit and gravy was the real star of my meal, so good that I almost wish I had ordered it as my main! Definitely getting that next time. My husband went for The Big Ass Sandwich and loved it. Fair warning- it lives up to its name. It's big, it's messy, and it's absolutely worth it. He said the same thing I was thinking: we need to come back. We'll definitely be returning on our next trip to Fredericksburg. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great breakfast spot with good food and even better service!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
