Let's get this out of the way. Screw Buc-ee's. Venture capitalism at its finest. PLEASE blaze the 15 minutes North (if you drive like I uhhh...do not Texas State Troopers) and make it to Centerville...STOP HERE INSTEAD. Their BBQ was made here...not in a different zip code in a non-descript building... First and foremost...I am a people person. There is not a DAMN person that works here and is not smiling, ready to help, and overly friendly. The young lady who helped me at the counter smacked her engagement ring and started crying noting she got it LAST NIGHT...I politely gave her the name of my personal jewler and she lit up like a Christmas tree and came around the corner and gave me a hug. At my age...it'll polish out. At her age it is a scaled down version of God. She beamed as she took the kids, my wife, and my order. The food. This is gonna be easy... 6 Brisket sammiches and 1 chopped tub pulled pork please...for those keeping count there are only 4 in our party...the rest of the sammiches were to take home cause I won't be back this way for a bit. I do not know what kind of rubber and magic voodoo they make their BBQ sauce from but it's the best...re-read that...the...best...I...don't grab as many as I can and take them home... Ditto the pickles. I cannot get anyone at the store despite my patronage to tell me where they get them but the beat the HELL out of Del-Dixi and Vlasic. THE MEAT...Brisket...Smoked to perfection. Perfect crust. Generous portions. Not overcharged...NOT MADE IN ANOTHER ZIP CODE AND SHIPPED IN like the beaver company. Yes they do. Friggin tourist trap. Just juicy Texas goodness. The chopped pulled pork...order a tub. Take it home. Wrap in a homemade tortilla with the aforementioned sauce...you're welcome...Or dump in scramblers for the most epic breakfast burrito you can make and take "credit" for as your guests are amazed. Pro tip...Food Save ANY "leftovers...heh" you may have to savor down the line. IF YOU want the true religious experience stop on the South 45 Shop. The smell alone is worth it. Jerky is second to none. My only niggle...BRING BACK THE CHRISTMAS HAMS!!!! My mamma gets mad at me when I come up for Christmas and Woody's didn't have them this year. Soooo... TLDR time. UBER staff? Check. AMAZING everything in the store that has the name "Woody's" on it? Check. BBQ? Double Check. That damn sauce...Check. Not Bucc-ee's? Check. Keep driving. It is worth 15 minutesish of your life to get here instead. Rock solid 10 stars.

Walk up counter service with a menu split neatly into cold cut and oven baked sandwiches. Going with the Devito, my mind was thoroughly blown by how flavorful the red sauce and meats were all together, it had a combination of textures from the crusty bread cured cuts that made it fun to chew through every bite. My Stallone was also just such a pleasant mix of flavor with the pesto playing a bigger role on the cold cut options. This is one of the places where I feel like you can spin the wheel and get a winner with whatever fate decides. Things seem pretty easy and affordable here. Portions were pretty big here and around $12-$15 a sandwich, more than enough for a single person with some for a midnight snack later. There's a good bit of seating inside with some red gingham table clothes to eat over. It's worth the visit if your in Montgomery or after a day on the Lake!

My only disappointment was that the menu described it as coming on a crusty Italian roll, but the bread was soft with no crunch. A true crusty roll would have taken it from great to outstanding. The girl at the counter recommended getting the hot peppers so I got some on the side, and she was absolutely right--I'll definitely be adding those to future sandwiches. My husband ordered the Danza but accidentally received the Dinero. He still enjoyed it and gave it a solid 7/10. We also tried the Chicken Parmesan. It had good flavor, though it was a little too bread-heavy for my taste. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were more than generous. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the menu.

I walked in planning to spend maybe 20 minutes max just to buy a few souvenirs, snacks, and a few things to take home to my kids and family. Shortly after I walked in, I was approached and told I wasn't allowed to be there because I came in a semi truck. I explained that I was only going to be inside for a few minutes to buy a few items, but I was told they would not allow me to purchase anything. I was also told, "Unfortunately truckers are not welcome." Those were his exact words. That was extremely disappointing to hear. Truck drivers are a huge part of what keeps this country moving. We deliver the products businesses sell every single day, including the products sitting on Buc-ee's shelves. To be told we're not welcome and not even allowed to make a purchase is sad and frustrating. Because of this experience, I will never return to Buc-ee's again, not even in my personal vehicle. I'd much rather spend my money at a truck stop or any business that welcomes everyone and appreciates the people who help keep America moving.

And while the other one is great and fabulous, this one is one star better. A huge selection of baked goods, coffee, decor, clothing, drinks and more. The Kissing Pig Cafe has so many food options, too! Mrs. K. has not had a kolache in years and she's now pescatarian which presents certain challenges. It would be awesome if they had some kolaches with just cheese or were sweet, so while I had one with ham and cheese and one with sausage in cheese, she was at least able to enjoy a strawberry and cream danish as well as the always awesome poppyseed kolache. It's possible that a pecan square was purchased for later consumption, too. The self-serve coffee was great and we enjoyed all of this inside at a comfortable table. And after that, more shopping. So much great stuff to choose from here and very, very clean restrooms. If you're overwhelmed by that massive baked goods counter, just ask for recommendations. They'll get you sorted for sure!

Excellent selection of kolaches and klobasneky. You can also buy sandwiches. Minus: as on previous visits, I have found that they are often out of poppyseed and prune kolaches. Not the servers' fault but you would think management would be keen to bake more of what sells most. Then there are the sandwiches. If you want pork, you'll get value. But if you want brisket, look out! I've never seen a more miserly portion offered for 13 dollars. I understand that brisket is expensive now. But I still get it at various restaurants and have to say that it was a five dollar sandwich for thirteen bucks. Additionally, the sandwich maker apparently does not know what and order for "moist" brisket means. Mine proved rather dry.
