To many times we have pulled up to the mainstream go to places. But Located in a small town right off I-10. Beautiful old town. Right in line with the other boutique shops was Dewberry Cafe. You could tell, this is where locals come. Soon as I opened the door I knew I wanted to sit down. Refills a plenty - fantastic coffee! Just like mom used to make. Eggs / bacon / biscuits and gravy. Huge waffles / hash-browns - everything was fresh. Staff were very attentive to anything requested. Did I mention the coffee,,,,, 5 star review !

My husband and I have stopped at Hruska's multiple times when traveling. It's a gas station that…read morehas a convenient store, a grill and bakery. I usually call in our order when we are about 20 minutes away from our stop. Everytime I call in the order the person on the other end is friendly and repeats back what we order. The convenient store part of Hruska's has a lot of items that you can choose from to purchase and they have clean bathrooms which is a positive. When we get there we park, walk in and head to pick up our food at the counter. It's usually labeled with the ticket stapled to the bag. We then get in line to pay for our food. The line is usually backed up but moves fairly quickly. There is also a small area with tables and chairs that you can sit at and enjoy your meal or sit there if you need a rest. For my meal I usually order a Hamburger which comes with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. I usually get mine with mustard. Their burgers are so good and a good size. Overall Hruska's is a great stopping place while traveling. Whether it's for gas, a bathroom break, or if you want to grab something to eat this is a one stop shop place.

A must stop if you are traveling between Houston and Austin on Hwy 71. I'm usually a Bucees guy,…read morebut this place specializes in something that the beaver doesn't. Kolaches! Arguably one of the greatest foods ever invented. Atleast in my world. How can you go wrong with bread filled with sweet or savory fillings? Hruska's is about halfway between Houston and Austin and a perfect rest stop to fill up on gas, use the clean facilities, grab a snack or indulge in their amazing baked goods. They are steeped in history and have been around for decades passing along the family recipes. It's obviously improved structurally over the years from a country store and looks like a modern gas station now. It's always pretty busy every time I have stopped in, but they are a well oiled machine and keep the masses moving with excellent customer service. They have all your gas station essentials like snacks and beverages. What sets them apart is their bakery. Here, they label their kolaches as the traditional fruit filled variety. I like them, but they are never my first choice. I love the ones with meat inside. Here, they label these as pigs in a blanket. They have a large variety of both. I usually go for a regular sausage and cheese, but over here, they sell a delicious pan sausage kind. On top of all their sweet and savory baked goods, they also sell burgers on the grill. Their burgers have made it to the Texas Monthly Top 50 burger spots. I have yet to try it. Overall, this is an always stop place for me. I highly recommend stopping here to stretch your legs and enjoy a delicious pastry while you're at it. I will definitely be back.

The cutest most well done version of a vibe for this kind of place you could want in Belleville…read moregreat atmosphere and very comfortable and enjoyable to be in. Service is attentive and with a smile so well done here. The spinach and artichoke dip was unique fresh and very dimmable in terms of melted liquid cheese that I liked. The drinks were great, especially the Manhattan. I'm not taking any points off because I want to support the place and maybe I just need to order something different next time but for $45 it was a pork chop that I couldn't even eat because it was dry and had no flavor so if and when I come back, I'll have to try something else. The grits with the pork chop were the best part of the dish, but it really stung to pay about $45 for that pork chop. My wife enjoyed her salmon. Overall, great atmosphere. Our server was great. I love what they're doing with the place.

We visited The Gathery for breakfast on Saturday, August 1, and unfortunately had a very…read moredisappointing experience. Lauren was our server. At first, I thought she was the only server working, so I was patient. However, I soon noticed there were other servers on the floor. It still took over 20 minutes before she came to take our order. We ordered the Farmhouse breakfast with biscuits and sausage, a kids' Farmhouse with pancakes, and breakfast tacos. Nearly 45 minutes passed before our food arrived. During that time, my coffee never came, and no one checked on our table. When the food finally arrived, my order was wrong. I received toast instead of biscuits and bacon instead of sausage. Lauren apologized and said she would bring the correct items, but they didn't arrive until we had already finished eating. To make matters worse, when I asked to speak with the manager, no manager could be found. I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I'm usually very patient. What was most frustrating wasn't just the wait, but the lack of communication, urgency, and basic customer service throughout the meal. It's unfortunate because The Gathery is a small business that I'd like to support, but experiences like this make it difficult to return. Based on this visit, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend it to others. I hope management addresses these issues because the food has potential, but the service fell far short.

They always have a large selection of menu items for any craving, and everything is always fresh. Portions are generous. There is plenty of parking out front, and it's another place where the customers spend more time visiting than scrolling their phone. The staff is unfailingly friendly and attentive, and it appears like everyone pitches in to keep things moving. It appeared like the owner (not sure, older man with cowboy hat) was making the rounds, stopped by our table, shook my hand while greeting, and then touched his hat to my wife. Don't see that kind of old timey courtesy very much! Saw him a few minutes later discussing with a small child what flavour of sucker they got rewarded. Nice place to have a meal and take your time to enjoy things. FYI, if you pay cash, you pay at the register, by card, your server can take care of it.

Ordered 2 apple juices for my young grandkids, got the bill, and i nearly choked. $3.75 for a small (and I mean small) apple juice. Cost me $7.50 for a few swallows of juice!!! My mistake, I didn't check the menu. But why charge that much? It is very cheap at the grocery store. I think that is outrageous. On the other hand, iced tea is fairly priced at $2.35. Just beware and don't assume. Roy's is price-gouging the drink menu!!!
