Pruitt's - It's called the $6.99 breakfast

Pruitt's

Hill country Diner. A Hidden treasure that's almost a Secret! I've been coming to Gatesville for…read morealmost 5 years and have heard of this place but couldn't ever find it! The other day my buddy brought me here; and it was GREAT! (Yes he's known about it for 3yrs and frequently went without me...A$$#%&@ !! It's a gas station diner. From the outside it looks like a rough truck stop surrounded by farm trucks and big rigs. And on the inside it's no-frills but the smell of good food lingers everywhere and sounds of hustling people coming and going. Ordering is done at the counter, the staff were amazingly friendly and the quality of food could stand alone as purely Awesome...home-cooking at its Very Beat!! It's filling and fair priced most items under $10. At certain times of the day finding an open table is impossible!! Yesterday I had a hamburger steak covered with brown gravy and grilled onions with fries. Today it was fried catfish and a salad. Honestly the food was so good from the day before, I had to come try something different. Anyway if you're looking for a unique experience in a diner setting out in the almost complete middle of nowhere, and/or looking for friendly service almost beyond friendly though like you're family, and/or looking for some Really Great Hill Country Homestyle cooking...then come check out Pruitt's!! Now ya know where it's at!

Hands down favorite gas station in the world. They always have yummy food. And it's great for CO'sread more

Ken Wilke is professional patient and understanding I appreciate the conscience way he communicated…read morewhat I need and answers all my questions. Very comforting and pleasure to take my vehicles to Grease Monkey in Cottonwood Shores thank you dearly Jobena McClimon******************

I just got 30,000-mile maintenance and inspection (not a trivial service) on my 2021 Toyota Avalon…read moreLimited from the nearby Cottonwood Shores Grease Monkey. The good news is that the staff was very nice, friendly and easy to work with; there's a comfortable waiting area, and the work was completed when promised. My wife has used them for periodic oil changes with no problem, and I've used them for other work in the past, usually satisfied. The less good) news is that there was a bit of upsell pressure for optional $200+ fuel injector service (not a terrible thing; we're capitalists after all), and their overall prices were significantly higher than my alternative well-established repair shop 15 minutes away in Marble Falls. (I didn't know that at the time, and went to Grease Monkey for convenience.) The cost was still far less than what a Toyota dealer would have charged, and they upsell too! A couple of examples: The charge for changing the transmission fluid, including the fluid itself, was $512 (including tax). In Marble Falls the total would have been in the high $300s, including their most expensive fluid. Grease Monkey told me that my tires were badly worn and cupping, with a fairly fresh cut in one that exposed the steel belt. See photo they sent.) I don't recall hitting anything that would have cut a premium tire that badly, but it was an important safety inspection find. They strongly recommended (and I agree) replacing the front two for just under $440 per tire (same premium tire, installed, including tax), and recommended a road hazard guarantee for an additional 17%, which would have brought the total to about $500 per tire. (Every tire I've ever bought comes with a road hazard guarantee included, but theirs might have been a little more comprehensive.) I declined. The cost of exactly the same tire from the Marble Falls shop (installed, including tax) is just under $331 per tire (without the road hazard upsell). Interesting side note: There was a very cool unfinished 1941Chevy pickup hot rod in the storage yard, and I think I saw classic Chrysler Imperial tailfins sticking out farther down the row.

Amazing!! Bang bang burger was FANTASTIC!! Definitely recommend to come here if you are a local or…read moreout here for work like me!

WOW! I wish I knew about this place sooner! Such great food at such great prices!…read more Food: Chess Box - Wings were ordered with sweet chili sauce (they have a good amount of options, wet/dry) and they were on point! The size of them were amazing compared to chain places. Burger - HUGE and good. Fries - covered in cheese sauce, grilled onions, and bang bang sauce. Cooked to perfection and was super yummy! This box ALONE could feed 2-3 people easily. A1 Box: Chicken sandwhich was good! Not a huge fan of coleslaw (forgot to ask for it on the side) but even on the sandwich I didn't mind! Pickles were yummy on it as well. Seemed to be a potato bun possibly? Not 100% sure. Bun was on the sweet side but paired well with the hot chicken. Nashville tenders - best ones i've ever had. They were HUGE, seasoned well (not too heavy), and had the perfect level of spice! Fries - good! Bang Bang Sauce - VERY good! Seems homemade to me and the sauce containers were HUGE! Double the size other place give for sure. Drinks - I'm assuming the cups were 30oz and they seemed to be larger than other to go places. Had a self serve fountain drink section in the convenient store. Service: It was our first time in and they were very kind and gave us recommendations for things to try next time. Not sure how long it took, but super fast but not super slow either. Ambiance: It is located in a convenient store but the place was clean and well taken care of! Family run business ! Overall: Everything was fresh and the area was clean! We sat in the pictured tables while we were waiting. Seems like most of their orders are to-go! P.S. - I have heard their wings sell out on the weekend! They also have different daily deals. We will definitely be back !!!!

Worked with Kukal and Chavez who installed my EV charger. They failed to inform me of any issues…read morewith my system prior and installed it anyway. Less than 2 weeks later my main panel overloaded and took out all my 240V systems. I scheduled a service call and their master electrician Clifford Black came out to assess the damage. I was assured that they would replace the guts inside my main panel free of charge. Following this, I was left without 240V for 3 days, and I had to remind them to send me an electrical proposal on paper. Now they claim my panel had thermal damage and refuse to restore my system unless I pay them for a full panel upgrade. In addition to this, during the service call they took my breakers that melted making it harder to get the cause diagnosed by another electrician. I was left without 240V systems in the Texas heat for over a week. Update: On the followup they said my part for replacing my panel was not available. This was not actually communicated with me and the owner is trying to save face. In reality they instead sent me a bill and refused to restore my service. They then ghosted me for any follow up.

I used their website for a quote which took around 36 hours to receive back, once I got it I was…read moresatisfied with the thorough quote which listed out each part to be used and service needed. Clifford and Chavez were a bit ahead of schedule and called to confirm if they could come early, which was fine. They worked diligently to install a Tesla Gen 3 Wall Charger. It is charging at the full 48A and was mounted cleanly in my garage. The install took about 1.5 hours and at the end they explained everything. Really nothing more I could ask for, I like it when companies are thorough, punctual, and to the point!
