A train robber bank robber who was gunned down by Texas Rangers in my hometown of Round Rock, Texas. We even had a street named after him. Imagine that!

Nila's serves breakfast until 2pm, and they highly recommended trying the homemade biscuits and gravy, so of course we had to give them a try. We also had the French toast and an omelet filled with meat, cheese, and hash browns and topped with gravy. Everything was really good, but the biscuits and gravy were definitely my favorite! The biscuits and gravy tasted homemade and fresh--not like the typical big, store-bought biscuits you get at some places. They were absolutely delicious! If you're in French Lick and looking for a good, local breakfast spot, definitely give Nila's a try. We're glad we did! Service was also spectacular!!

What DOES bother me is that we were totally ignored from the waitstaff. Walked by us multiple times before we had to stop someone and ask for menus. (This was after we asked if we sat ourselves when we first walked in, so they saw us and knew we were there). The place was only half full (or half empty, depending on your perspective). I got a loaded omelet, which was delicious. Hubs got the country fried steak, which he said was ok. When he ordered, he asked for hashbrowns with cheese and onions. What came out, was nothing close to hashbrowns. When we asked, she said they only had one kind of breakfast potato. Why wouldn't you tell us that when he ordered? Everything other than my omelet was barely even warm. My omelet was great and huge, so I shared. Super cheap, but again, sat forever with empty plates and no bill. We finally just ended up figuring out what the cost of everything was and leaving cash on the table. I was a server for years. So my criticism of bad service does not come lightly.

The package we had with the hotel allowed for breakfast vouchers each morning. This was super convenient and they have a pretty good variety, so we ate there every morning that we were there.

We got the steak and eggs, the oatmeal, the omelet, and some other items on the various days we were there. The food was really good! I did not have any qualms about anything that was served to us. Daniel was prompt and friendly, and did a wonderful job! However, on the last day we sat on the other side of the dining room, and Daniel was not our server. We had a woman who was clearly struggling to keep up. We were at our table for two almost an hour and a half before food started coming out to us, the order was missing items, and some of the food was not very warm. We had ordered a yogurt parfait and a salmon bagel. Neither one should have taken very long, but they did. After multiple attempts to get her some help and speaking to her a few times.

We got a table without a wait -- a bit of a surprise considering how much of a wait other resort restaurants can have. And this buffet had lots of what you would expect: bacon, eggs, pastries, cereal, yogurt, fruit, drinks and made-to-order omelets and waffles. Also, I think I saw this mentioned in another review -- get the chocolate milk! I'm not sure what was special about it, but I had had like three glasses of it. It was cold and sweet and just perfect.

We ordered pulled pork, brisket, chicken and Mac and cheese as a side for carry out. All were great! Meats were tender and moist with plenty of smoke. You could cut the brisket with a fork! We had sauces, but personally, there was enough flavor in the meats that the sauces weren't necessary. The Mac and cheese was cheeezzzzyy. Our daughter-in-law pretty much claimed the m&c for herself once everyone had a sampling. Hours are 9-5, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Call ahead and they can have a lunch ready for pickup. We ordered by the pound for an evening family meal. Call the day before or day of and pick up at your convenience. Not the Peg Leg Porker, but close enough that I don't have to drive to Nashville, TN for a good bbq sandwich.

It was a hidden gem. I was so excited. The setting was plain, simple, and homely. I'm sure the celebrity's sister was nice to be part of. This Synchronicity has happened to me my whole life. I once met James Garner and Rock Hudson the same week in 1969, 2000 miles apart. The price was the best part. I could not figure out how they did it, given the quality of the food and the nice people. I was in Heaven for my final hour in French Lick Paradise. Thanks to the verything thing they served. read more

Well, partner, you best steer your boots toward Smokin' Hawgs. Nestled in the old Main Street Pizza building, this joint might still be a work in progress, but it's already staking its claim as a local treasure. The inside seating might be on the cozy side, but don't let that fool you--there's ample room for comfort. And soon, a new patio with a gazebo will grace the front and side, offering a prime view of the creek that meanders beside it. While you're relaxin' and enjoyin' your meal, you'll also have a perfect view of the century-old courthouse in the town square, a grand piece of history that adds to the charm of this small town. Imagine sittin' under the gazebo, the sun setting over the horizon, and the gentle murmur of the creek as you savor every bite. That's the kind of experience Smokin' Hawgs is fixing' to offer. Now, let me tell y'all about the man behind the magic--Daryel. He's a dedicated chef and a fellow Masonic brother, rising with the rooster each morning to prepare the day's meats and sides. Every dish is crafted with pure love and passion, and it shows in every mouthful. **What we tried:** - **Brat Slider:** I took a bite, and it was like striking gold. Each morsel was a burst of flavor that had me wanting more. - **Pulled Pork Sandwich:** My wife saddled up to this dish, and let me tell ya, she's a tough critic. But this time, she cleaned her plate, leaving nary a crumb behind, except the bread. The pulled pork was plentiful, the baked beans were rich and savory, and the scalloped potatoes were creamy and delightful. - **4 Rib Meal:** My daughter chose this, and those ribs were tender as a gentle breeze, falling right off the bone. I had a taste of the beans--lip-smacking good, I tell ya. The ribs were seasoned to perfection, and each bite was a journey through flavor town. Daryel's signature sauces are the perfect sidekick to the star of the show--the meat. Each sauce complemented the flavors beautifully, adding a delightful kick that lingered on the taste buds. So, whether you're a local lookin' for your next favorite spot or just a traveler passing through, Smokin' Hawgs is worth every mile of the journey. With Daryel's dedication and the rustic charm of the place, you're in for a meal that's as memorable as a Western sunset. Giddy up and head on over to Smokin' Hawgs, where every meal is a culinary adventure crafted with heart and soul, all while takin' in the sights of the historic town square and its venerable courthouse.
