I stopped in during the seasonal flavor changeover, so they were running low on a few options. The server told me they were restocking the new flavors the next day. I was hoping to try the vanilla lavender, but I'll have to save that for another visit. Instead, I went with the butter pecan crunch, which the server said is their best-selling flavor. It had a rich, creamy texture, though I thought it could have used a little more flavor. The richness was just on the edge of being a bit too heavy, but it was still a good scoop of ice cream. As I was leaving, a large family was enjoying ice cream together, and it reinforced the feeling that this is a neighborhood spot locals genuinely support. I always enjoy finding local ice cream shops when I travel, and Wild Honey is worth a stop if you're in downtown Longview.

I mean, I purposely go out of my way on road trips to eat at these fine establishments... let me be first! Anyway, I rolled in early one Saturday morning on my way back into the promised land, also known as Texas. The joint was poppin' with construction workers, retired folk, and the good ol' locals of Kilgore. That is why I love coming to these home-grown joints; everyone knows everyone. Believe me; I do my best to look like local when eating. My local alias was blown when I asked "what are Western hash browns." Luckily, my server did not show any sort of "you are not a local" attitude! That is certainly because this little diner truly does spit out southern hospitality on all cylinders. The order of Western hash browns offered an enormous plate of shredded, griddled potatoes, COVERED in a layering of cheese, with onions, tomato, and bell pepper interspersed within the finely sliced tubers. The damage? A whopping... $2.50. Welcome to Texas. The biscuit and gravy, at ~$2, was a fantastic addition. The sausage at the bottom was not mixed into the gravy, unfortunately, but at least the sausage was meaty, and the gravy was spot-on. Together, they made a sloppy, but delicious accompaniment to my starchy Southern staple. The final verdict? $5. Thus, 5 stars. I don't know in what earthly circumstance you would find yourself in Kilgore, TX, but I would certainly extend a recommendation of Circle Cafe to you. Even if you are not in the boondocks of East Texas... But, if you want to make a drive to eat at a small town diner, I would not look past Circle Cafe!

While traveling for work, I was looking for a place that felt uniquely Longview, and The Butcher…read moreShop & Bakery was exactly what I was hoping to find. The restaurant was busy with families enjoying dinner, and the back room was completely booked for what looked like a birthday party. It's the kind of place that immediately feels like a community staple. The menu is full of American classics, and I went with the spicy cheeseburger. Overall, it was really good. My only minor complaint was that the jalapeños were sliced a little thick, so they kept slipping out of the burger. One thing I loved was the old-school condiment bar where you can customize your burger just the way you like it. After dinner, I couldn't pass up the bakery case. The cookies, cakes, and pies all looked fantastic. The employee recommended the Heathen Cookie, so I grabbed one along with a lemon icebox cookie to enjoy later. I always appreciate finding local restaurants that are clearly supported by the community, and this is one of those places. If you find yourself in Longview, The Butcher Shop & Bakery is well worth a visit for both the food and the hometown atmosphere.

We stopped in on Thursday around 5:30 p.m. hoping to grab some salted caramel cookies, but they were sold out. So my husband ordered three Heath cookies and three white chocolate macadamia nut cookies instead. When the employee handed us our order, there was only one white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. My husband politely let her know that he had ordered three. Instead of simply saying, "Oops, let me fix that," she immediately argued that he had only asked for one. When he asked for the other two cookies, she gave us an obvious attitude. I honestly don't understand why. It's not like we were asking for free cookies--we paid for the other two. Maybe she was annoyed that she had to ring them up separately, but regardless, that isn't how customers should be treated. We stayed polite the entire time. We didn't raise our voices or give her any attitude back. It was disappointing to be treated that way over such a simple mistake. Experiences like this leave a bad impression, and my husband said that was the last time he'll shop at this location. The really disappointing part is that they make some damn good cookies. It's a shame that great products are being overshadowed by poor customer service.
