Stopped here on a whim traveling back from ski vacation. Wanted a margarita. Was told by our server in no uncertain terms that they "do not serve alcohol". No worries. I ordered Pollo Adobago with green sauce and went to tex-mex heaven. It was spicy hot which I love. Husband had wonderfully flavored fajitas. Bathrooms are clean. The restaurant is full of locals which is a good sign. Lots of hustle and bustle in this family business. Good place to stop. 4 stars, not 5 for lack of atmosphere.

I recommend ordering the special of the day. Everything Jennifer serves is delicious. This morning, I had a perfectly made cappuccino. Took my husband back for lunch. He ordered the brisket sandwich; I had the brisket salad. Salad greens were fresh, brisket was tender and juicy, and the barbecue sauce was a tangy molasses blend so good that I ate the remainder with a spoon. Owned by a hard-working family who roasts and grinds their own coffee beans in the adjoining mill.

I joined a very long line to order a blizzard while a large number of people waited for their orders. It was obviously very busy and they should have had more people working. You could tell the staff were over worked and stressed. Even one more person working would speed things up and help the others out where they didn't look so overwhelmed. Looking at reviews, apparently this is usual...

Big menu for a taco truck. You can get burgers, hot dogs, enchiladas and even tacos! It was cold outside so after the order, she had me sit in the car until she brought the food over.

We enjoyed this place because they made you feel right at home. The server was awesome, and the food was very tasty. The Grilled Chicken Breast was awesome, and the Pineapple Salmon was incredible. Will definitely stop again when passing through the area. Thank you for making our short time with you a memorable one.

I tried out this restaurant yesterday was very happy with the attentive waitress we had. She was quick with the food and with refills. The portions were very very small. I ordered a Cobb salad with chicken and it was $10. Salad portion was barely a side salad and probably 4 ounces of chicken. While the flavor was good the portions left me hungry. I would recommend over the other area restaurants but make sure you eat a snack before you go.
7. Wild Horse Grill and Steakhouse

Unassuming little restaurant. The menu is standard sandwiches/steak/chicken...there was a grilled shrimp option, and I chose it. The shrimp was large and tasty, served on mushy rice. Baked potato came with butter and sour cream - no other toppings available. Salad was lettuce and tomato - salad dressing choices were French, Ranch, Blue Cheese & Thousand....The meal included Texas toast and green beans. An adequate meal, nothing outstanding. The server was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

So this subway seemed like a good place for dinner one evening. We pulled up to the drive-thru window, sat there for 5 minutes before someone approached, opened the drive-thru window and said "We don't have a drive-thru"... Well clearly they DO have a drive-thru and I don't understand why we weren't able to place our order... We had to pull out into the busy highway to get back into their parking lot.
9. Pizza Hut

Reviewed By BKanten - Austin, Texas
The food is perfectly average Pizza Hut fare. The salad bar looked sad, but it was about an hour before closing (which is early at this place, by the way).
The wait staff was not overly zealous. One of the waitresses was particularly clumsy, managing to spill a drink and drop a tray (luckily empty) in the span of 15 minutes.
Overall, nothing exciting here. It's just a place to eat where few others exist for 60 miles in any direction.
