It's 4 lanes, not a lot of traffic and limited access as well. Nice low stress return to I-10 after a tasty lunch. The building obviously used to be a home and the inside just further confirms it. Lots of comfortable seating throughout. Parking is all around the building and much of it is in shade from several large trees on the property. It was lunchtime busy when we arrived but we got seated quickly and the service never faltered. The pimento cheese and sausage appetizer was so good. Picky eater got 2 plain chopped brisket tacos and enjoyed them. I got the brisket plate and was surprised to find sausage on there too. The slaw and beans for sides were good choices. Both were very tasty and definitely all their own recipe. We enjoyed it enough that we shall be hoping that lunchtime timing works out again when we are eastbound on I-10 in this area.

Beautifully placed under huge, spreading oak trees, plenty of parking, large patio areas for live music venues, quaint air-conditioned interior with a large back-bar. The food was excellent -- very well done burgers and a grilled chicken sandwich well worth the money. The menu isn't expansive, but has plenty of options, including some very neat appetizers such as fried alligator or fried pickles -- which are not shown on the website menu, but were definitely on the in-house menu. They have a lot of different beers on tap, too. Clean restrooms, friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. Definitely will be adding this one to our list of local outliers worthy of a 45 minute expedition.

Yesterday had been a really busy day so we decided to grab some food from Texas One Stop in La…read moreGrange. I usually go in there to buy their baked goods, which are pretty hit and miss. They have very clean bathrooms and a nice area with tables inside if you want to stay and eat. They have a decent selection of drinks and snacks, and lots of clothing and boots for sale. But this time, we decided instead of a quick sandwich we would go ahead and order barbecue plates. Their prices are fairly inexpensive for barbecue and I think that's because they are not out back cooking on the pit all day. But the brisket and chicken were fair, made much better by their sauce. I liked the potato salad and I loved the green beans. I think the brisket sandwich is better than the brisket plate, so that's what I will go back to.

For a town celebrated for its charm, I expected this bakery to embody the same warmth…read more As a first-time visitor and tourist, I naturally had questions about the bakery's history and the pastries they're known for. The woman who appeared to be the bakery manager, working around 8:15 a.m., answered every question with an attitude that felt forced, dismissive, and unwelcoming. When someone says, "This is my first time here," it's usually an opportunity to create a memorable experience--not make them feel like they're interrupting your morning. I won't be rating the bakery's famous pigs in a blanket because, to me, hospitality is part of the product. Outstanding customer service can elevate good food to a great experience. Without it, even the town's signature pastry loses some of its appeal.

I decided to get the fried calamari with a side of green beans. My friend got the hamburger steak with onions. He immediately said the hamburger meat tasted old and I guess that could've been the seasoning, etc. Who knows. But he didn't eat much of it at all. We both had a side salad and it was very good. The calamari was OK but the red sauce did not taste like seafood sauce at all. I think it was actually marinara sauce. I wasn't wild about the tartar sauce either. I know everybody has their own likes and dislikes, but this was just not the place for me. I will not be back unless it is just to get a salad.

I had to stop at a gas station and use the rest room and I asked if there was any place good around to eat. The gas station attendant pointed us to La Marina. When you pull up, its a tiny, brick building and it really reminded me of a building that should have been a Moose Lodge or a VFW instead of a restaurant. Maybe it was at sometime, I don't know. The parking lot is pretty small. Most of the spots are actually right up against the road with no curb or divider at all and they aren't marked. Walking in though, it smelled delicious and we were really pleasantly surprised with the food. The salsa was more liquid than chunky, but the flavor was delicious. It was the perfect blend of spice, tomatoes, cilantro and onion. I hadn't read Andrew's review, but I also got the combo place with a flauta, taco, chalupa and I got a chicken enchilada with sour cream sauce. My favorite part of the meal was the Chalupa. It was covered with refried beans, flavorful taco meat, lettuce, tomato and guacamole. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. I had my father with me, a Michigan native, and he even went so far to say that it was the best Mexican food that he's had in Texas. If you are traveling between Houston and Austin or are just on TX-71 for some reason, give La Marina a try. I don't think you will be sorry you stopped.
