Stopped along the way to Austin. Family had a party melt, chicken nachos, and a burger…read more The burger was ok. A little too thick of bun for my taste (too rollish too). Nachos were disappointing. The chicken was seasoned so I'd say above average. The portion was large. But the cheese seemed canned. No peppers or onions. No sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Patty melt was ok. Meat was a little chewey and bread was toasted but not flavorful. I will say that if you want pie. I watched a dozen carry out orders. Also admitted one of tallest meringues I've ever seen. We just weren't in mood for pie. Service was ok. My water was empty for about 1/4 of my meal. They were it overwhelmed and had numerous empty tables. She was very friendly fly though. Ambiance is a charming little roadside cafe. Lots of neat salt and pepper shakers in a display case on the wall. Parking was not difficult but certainly more difficult that average. Looked like a popular chocolate place was next door.

We were suspicious of the comment "best baked goods ever" that showed up with this spot on our…read moresearch for bakery. The claim, however, was pretty darn accurate. Service was super quick at this tiny, walk-up donut counter, and the selection was surprisingly large considering the minuscule shop. The ambiance would have been pure Rt66-style Americana if not for the tiny Buddhist shrine in one corner overflowing with impressive offerings of fresh donuts. Now to what gives the fifth star: spicy means spicy here. We got the spicy sausage&cheese croissant and the spicy boudin croissant. Raz generally eats a single bite of these Texas favorites, turns up his nose at lack of flavor, and leaves them for me. This time I only got one bite! The boudin was definitely the best we've had to-date. The prices were almost shockingly low for the portions, making Dublin Donuts the single best value in the last several years of road-trip.

I could not believe and still cannot believe that prices are this high, but apparently they are here. And on top of that, the sausage egg and cheese kolache that was advertised with a sausage patty had a little tiny bits of sausage barely discernible. I won't be back.

Unfortunately, I'll have to agree with the other review that they seem annoyed by their customers…read more The previous Asian owners were always so grateful for our business no matter how big or small the order they'd greet us with a great big warm smile. They were so nice and pleasant. New owners not so much but we'd overlook it bc they were a bit closer and interactions were not so much rude just stoic and no smile. The younger girl was ok but it was the older woman. But today was the last straw. My husband returned home vowing never to go back there again. He said he used the drive thru this morning, absolutely no one behind him yet the woman with the very short hair was curt, rushed him, like she was annoyed and like she just wanted him gone. With so much competition a smile goes a long way. Whatever happened to the basics of customer service. Customers especially repeat customers is what helps a business thrive. In fact, even if you don't want to smile at least don't treat your paying customers like they're an irritant.
