A new discovery for us, for some reason never knew about this place, even though we'd been to the…read moreother restaurant in town before. Another old time, home cooking type diner, with generous portions, fast friendly service, and small town country ambiance. A must stop if you're tired of the big city/chain type eateries, where the customers are more interested in their phones/laptops, than their dining companions. The Hop Queen got the schnitzel, which was a solid, stick to your ribs choice. The two sides, homemade mashed potatoes, and the squash were almost like déjà vu flavour, back when we were kids. I got the 4 Alarm burger, and it was tasty, spicy and filling. Great onion rings, which I am partial too, were nice and crunchy, held up well (no "bite and pull all the onion out problems"). Good enough, and scenic enough country drive, to make this a destination spot. Check out the daily specials, looks pretty inviting!

We walked in late afternoon. Several young ladies behind the counter. We were not greeted. Took…read morea few minutes for someone to come over with menus. Decent selection of food. Some of the menu can be a little confusing. There are some items that come with two sides that do not mention that. And with the burgers you have to pay for sides separately. We opted for a chips and salsa, meatloaf (with greens and mashed potatoes as sides), a burger (fries cost extra), and chicken strips with broccoli and another side that I forgot. Chips and salsa were bad, but salsa needed a little salt. Greens were not fresh, potatoes were bland--gravy not good. Meatloaf wasnt bad. Burger was just okay. Chicken strips were just okay as well. Looks like they have a beer garden outside and being that it is a German/Texan fusion type spot maybe they do some time of events/entertainment...not sure. Would be interesting though. The food was mediocre and bland and the service not that great. They charge a fee to use card--but also do not give the coin portion of your change--which I kinda feel is another fee just to pay cash. Last I checked they still make nickels, dimes, and quarters. This spot is a little out of the way so I don't think that we would return.

The food is great! We order hamburgers with fries and they are freshly made and large. Today I…read moreordered the Frito Pie Smash Burger and I cannot recommend it strongly enough. To repeat, this burger is large. Fair warning. Both our burger had the meat patty overhanging the buns. The staff is friendly, helpful, courteous, and efficient. Fair warning, on Texas game days the crowd can be large. The location is at the entrance to San Gabriel Park which runs along the combined North and South San Gabriel givers.

Since I was headed toward McGregor, I decided to stop and wouldn't you know it, they were running a special on chicken fried steak. It got me "hooked on phonics" right away. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with big smiles and a warm welcome. Super friendly staff all around. I didn't waste any time...ordered my chicken fried steak as soon as my waitress, Paisley, came by (I wasn't playin' lol). Service was quick, food came out hot, and it did not disappoint. Paisley also recommended the broccoli and rice casserole, which ended up being the perfect side. Overall, the food hit the spot...I was starvin' like Marvin, lol . If you're ever in town or just passing through, this is a cute little place worth stopping at. I'll definitely be back!

Great comfort food and delicious pie for dessert. Try it, you'll like it!

Full bar avaliable and if I recall breakfast lunch and dinner sold all day! I had french toast and cheese grits- tasted just like it does at home- as expected I guess but nothing that gave me the wow factor I was hoping for, cheese grits however were really good, Kinda thick but packed with flavor! Eggs were cooke just right and potatoes were good too however came out luke warm like they had sat for a bit before being sent out, the pancakes were kinda like the french toast as it tasted like something you make at home but still good! Lots of pies to choose from- I went with a slice of buttermilk to go! It was good but i'd try something different next time I come by! We were at right away around 11am on saturday. Our waitress was nice and everything was out quick! The bathroom however needs some work- definitely something that's been there for QUITE sometime with no fix ups- dirty floors and walls, leaking handle when you go to flush. I will be back to check out more of the menu next time we are in the area!

The restaurant had a full bar and offered all varieties of liquor. We also saw an enclosed patio and courtyard with a bar and tables. Partially on green grass. A place was there for live music. My wife and I both ordered chicken fried steak with two big orders of French fries. This was for lunch and the orders of fries were large. The food arrived hot. We were given home made dinner rolls. The soft drinks that we got had free refills. The food arrived quickly. The bathroom was clean. The parking lot was large and it filled up by 12:30 PM.

You place your order and then take a seat and when they bring out your food, you get a little pocket to put cash into to pay whatever you want. The food was great and it benefits addiction recovery. My only complaint is that they really really really need to put fans on the patio cause I was swatting away flies the entire time I was eating. I wouldn't eat outside again. I went for breakfast and had a 3-meat omlette which I actually couldn't even finish cause I was full. It was a little weird getting the apple juice in a cup full of ice but I guess I could have gotten more if I wanted it. I'd like to back for lunch sometime.
