First time here and it will surely will not be my last. This place is now added fi my list of favorite places to eat at! The service is impeccable and the ambiance is really nice. Such a special dinner or a treat yourself to a fine quality meal! What I ordered: * the stuffed quail with curry sauce- 5/5 the best quail I've ever had ans the curry sauce stood up to any Thai restaurant curry! So freaking good! I was sad to hear this dish is being rotated off since they usually change their menu base on season. There will be another quail dish in place of this one but it will be different. Now I just gotta remember to come in September for this dish if it makes its way back on the menu. * fried okra- 5/5 like wow! It's light airy and everything to enjoy with the okra that you could possible have! The batter is seasoned and it paired so well with the sauce. I could eat a bucket of these! Highly recommend this ! * risotto- 5/5 my friend got this dish and she's vegetarian. She enjoyed it! * duck confit - 4/5 it good but not something I will repeatedly order! I love the pickled sides to eat with it. In my personal opinion I felt like it was missing something. The duck was moist. * Foccacia bread 5/5 a must order and do not skip! I bake sourdough Foccacia but mine is nothing compare to this one! Good lord how is this bread so freaking good! It's buttery and some how cheesey but it's Foccacia! Seriously the best Foccacia I've ever had in my life. Do I recommend this place? Hop in your vehicle and hurry up and head to this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and it's a little gem! It got Austin vibes and is such a great place to eat at! I can't wait to return to try the other items on the menu! Highly recommended!

I've been to Store House twice now and I can confidently say this is one of the better places I've…read moreeaten in Bastrop. My first visit was a couple weeks ago for dinner with my sister. I loved the whole experience. It's such a cute space and has that elevated feel without feeling overly fancy or uncomfortable. We started with the grilled focaccia and Watermelon on Fire, and both were excellent. The watermelon was one of those dishes that sounds a little questionable on paper but completely works once you taste it. Sweet, savory, a little spicy and really fresh. We also had the Texas quail, which was beautifully cooked and full of flavor. I had the blackberry bourbon cocktail and loved that too. What really stood out during dinner though was how personable the service was. We never felt rushed and our server actually engaged with us, which made an already good dinner feel even better. I went back this past Saturday for brunch with my sister, her husband and my fiancé. It was definitely a livelier experience with more people around, but still a really nice atmosphere for a Saturday brunch. The service was good and everything came out as expected, although it didn't have quite the same personal touch that I experienced during my first visit. Between the four of us we got to try quite a bit. The shrimp and grits were rich, buttery and seasoned really well. The smoky pork tostada was packed with flavor and the potatoes on the side were honestly some of my favorite bites on the table. The French toast and fried chicken was as good as it looked, with crispy chicken, fruit and just enough sweetness. The only thing I wasn't completely sold on was the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was brown, which threw me off because that's not what I normally expect from sausage gravy, and the biscuits were a little too dense for my preference. The flavor wasn't bad at all, it just wouldn't be my first choice the next time I go. Other than that, Store House has been a hit for me on both visits. The food feels thoughtful without trying too hard, the plates are beautiful, and the restaurant works just as well for a dinner with your sister as it does for brunch with a group. I'll definitely be back.

BBQ TO DIE FOR... Texas Chainsaw Massacre-Style…read more This is the actual gas station where the scene in the 1974 iconic cult movie was filmed. At one time it was facing ruin and had become in dire need of repair. Roy and Lisa Rose of Cleveland, Ohio stepped in and saved it. They restored the property, making it a sought after destination for horror buffs from all around the world. It's a horror film memorabilia shop with not just TCM items but other horror movies, shows, and characters as well. Think Michael Myers, Chucky, Vincent Price, The Crow, Troma productions, etc. The store is small but it's mighty and packed with lots of fun stuff. Definitely have to take your time browsing to take it all in. These items are all for sale as are other novelties like t-shirts, stickers, keychains, etc. They host a variety of horror-related events throughout the year with Halloween (of course) being its busiest time. There are a few adorable rental cabins onsite which make for the perfect get away, especially if attending one of their events. There are only a handful of cabins and they book up fast-FYI. There is an outdoor stage and a large outdoor covered picnic area with communal seating. The bbq really is to die for, it's absolutely delicious and filling. We shared a chopped beef sandwich and I couldn't even finish 1/4 of it. Generous and I mean generous beef piled between the buns. My boyfriend also had a side of potato salad and he said it was fresh and tasted homemade. I really liked the bbq, it was one of the best chopped beef sandwiches I've had in a long time. You order food at the register inside the store and you can get it for take away or to eat there. Once ordered, we sat down outside and had the sandwich within three minutes. It was piping hot and fresh from the first bite to the last. Every single employee was super friendly and fun to talk with. They all seem to really love being there and they helped to make it a stellar visit. Our Chucky (see costumed pics) aka Sir Benjamin Doolittle gives four paws up.

Just happened yo stumble upon The Gas Station and decided to check it out. If you love horror films, you'll dig this place. They have so many cool things inside. Tons of rad horror toys and posters and just stuff! I had so much fun just checking everything out. We were quick to find out that it was also one of the filming locations of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The gentleman at the counter was so enthusiastic and informative! It was awesome hearing him geek out over stuff with my boyfriend. After we geeked out over everything, we ordered a brisket plate with a side of coleslaw and beans. Food came out pretty fast. They don't have a dining area inside, but out back they have some picnic tables. He dug into his plate on site. Everything was pretty darn good, especially for a place called 'The Gas Station' hah. Recommend checking out this spot whether you looking for a bite or looking for some cool horror stuff.

Even that early, we were numbers 9 and 10 in line! Luckily, we ended up next to a very sweet local couple who told us all about the history of Snow's BBQ. The four-hour wait felt like sitting around a campground chatting with old friends, and getting to meet Ms. Tootsie herself made it unforgettable. It's simply the best BBQ I've ever had. Don't be fooled by the ratings. If I could, I'd give Snow's 10 stars.

My First (and Probably Last) BBQ Line Experience!…read more I say "probably last" because, honestly, I'm just not built for waiting in line! We arrived around 5:30 a.m., and the line was already forming. We found our spot with a view of the pits, where the smoke was already rolling and music was playing in the background. Talk about a Texas morning! Before the 8 a.m. opening, pitmaster and owner Kerry came out and asked everyone to call out their place in line for a raffle. Turns out, we were #89 and #90! After the raffle, we stood for the national anthem, and shortly afterwards, the doors finally opened. While waiting in line, you could shop for merchandise and enjoy complimentary cocktails or Lone Star beer. Just remember to tip! Finally, it was our turn to order, and at 9:44 a.m., we took our first bite of Snow's BBQ. The brisket? Yum! The pork steak? YUM! Everything we tried was good, and we ended up packing the rest to take home. Was the BBQ good? Absolutely. Was the experience worth the early wake-up call and hours in line? It was a fun, uniquely Texan experience, but one I can probably check off my list! Honestly, I made the trip as much out of respect for Tootsie, the legendary female pitmaster, as I did for the BBQ itself. There's something special about the tradition, the people, the pits, and the atmosphere that makes Snow's more than just a meal. If you haven't been, I'd say give it a try at least once. It's an experience that captures the spirit of Texas. Meat. Fire. Beer. Texas.

Trogging through paperwork and the sloth paced management team we were looking for both a change in scenery and pace and we found it at Barstop Roadhouse. Upon entry you're greeted by the crooning of Johnny Cash and the bustling kitchen working with precision accuracy to deliver and create meals worthy of the title "best burger in Barstop county for 18 consecutive years." We sat down and within seconds a server appeared with menus and a friendly smile. We scrounged the menu looking for a burger that would appease a hunger only equal to that of a Lovecraftian god. I chose the swiss mushroom burger an exception had to be made because as you all know I am deathly afraid of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. I feared that taking these items off of the swiss mushroom burger would sully the appeal and flavor profile. Upon arrival of the burger all doubts where cast aside. THE BURGER The burger arrived bathed in a golden glow. Covered in button mushrooms and layered with delectable Swiss cheese these two ingredients elevated the burgers taste profile. The mushrooms added a deep umami flavor that was perfectly paired with the sweet tasting swiss. The buns where the ribbon in top, sweet sourdough bread conformed to the burger creating a warm pillow separating fingers and patty. To summarize this single mushroom Swiss burger turned a travesty into a celebration of life.
