    The best cheeseburger in central Texas!!! Fresh-grilled. From the crunch of the grilled bun to the freshness of the meat that melts in your mouth, you will be sad you have finished it and already planning the next time you can get here! Worth an hour's drive any day!

    Great cheese burger!  The burger was loaded and tasty!

    The Whistle Stop General Store is now under new management! You can see some really nice changes. The place seems to be better stocked for a small country store. The kitchen is rocking and I will warn you, you had better be here by 11 am if you arrive just a little past 11, well you most likely will be waiting. My suggestion is a cheese burger with all of the fixings and get an order of the onion rings. The onion rings are crisp and very tasty! The cheeseburger is a home run just waiting to happen. The cheeseburger is comparable to the one in Dallas at Keller's Drive-In on loop 12, just fantastic! One of the big plusses is still all of the friendly locals! You can go in early before the work day, grab a cup of coffee, breakfast burrito, and visit with some of the most down to earth folks around! Btw, the breakfast burrito is pretty good, I'd ask to get some spicy sauce mixed in! In November of 2016, they are going to try get on the ballot and have the locals vote on getting a beer and wine licenses. I hope they get it, it would really help out this area and the Whistle! I do love how friendly everyone is here! Darn to earth folks, love this little place!

    I understand that stealing is a problem. At just about every Walmart, But not with me!!!! So, I…read morehave OCD and go through the self check out so I'm able to bag how I feel comfortable, I haven't ever had problems with this. Until I go here. So.. I am checking out and not even 5 items in, I am greeted by an employee. Asking (more like TELLING) me I'm in need of help. I say no, I am fine. I am very used to GROCERY SHOPPING & can navigate it on my own. But yet she stays.... Starts going through my checked items and the bags I had aside , asking me to see the register to make sure everything was "actually" scanned. Then pushes me over and says she needs to do it for me. My total was like $700 or $650 around there. And when it's time for me to lay she like is breathin down my damn neck looking at how I'm possibly gonna pay. NY CARD DECLINED I was on my way from Austin to Denver, CO & my bank felt it was suspicious & needed further approval. So, I had to call & get it set straight. Oh man, when I tell you this lady was gonna have an orgasm thinkin she really caught on to me... HER PANTIES WERE WET MAN. & when it took longer than w seconds to get it straightened out she had 3 other employees around us. So when it comes time for me to swipe again they're all like sweating I swear. And I got the max amount of cash back that I could just to show that broke broad I'm not the one. & i hope to never see her outside of that establishment.

I know that's the way it is but it's not right and if you don't get the deals at United they're already so Sky High anyway it's horrible that's the only reason I come is to get the deals and then you don't get them unless you do exactly what they say get it delivered or pick it up and I didn't see that I've never seen that I've been getting fruit on sale there taking it to my sister at the nursing home but that's how it goes everything's changing and it's going to get worse it's going to get worse . And everybody's going to be in a mess not pleased at all such a good mood after talking to them at the pharmacy and then go to grocery that I wasn't even going to pick up the stuff that I needed to go ahead and get it for the family and here we go Lord help me Jesus help me Jesus

    Lowe's Market houses San Saba's lone grocery store and Ace Hardware. It is a small grocery store…read moreand has all of the basic items typical grocery stores have. The number of brands is limited and they won't have everything you will find in specialty stores in larger cities. If you are expecting HEB Central Market, you will be disappointed. If you are needing to fill your cart to take back to the deer lease in order to cook a great meal, this is the place to go. Ace Hardware is also on the premises. Sometimes their is a hardware employee on site. At other times, Ace is manned by the employees from Lowe's. They have the basic items many Ace Hardware location have. They do have a decent selection of ammo if you happen to come all the way to the deer lease only to realize you left your bullets at home. Keep in mind, this Ace is taking up the few aisles located on the left side of the grocery store so selection is limited. They do have a separate register for Ace Hardware purchases. At one point I seem to remember they rope off the hardware store from the rest of the store during certain hours. I haven't seen it happen lately but it may have simply been timing on my part.

    Great place to stock up. Always have what we need when we come down for the deer season.read more
