    We recently moved here and stumbled across The Gar Hole, a rare gem here in North Texas. A hole in the wall bar with ice cold beer, great bar food, and top notch entertainment. Everybody here is so welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to spend summer evenings on the patio.

    Three soft tacos.  Priced reasonable.

    I'm ashamed to say that I have lived in Anna for five years and never made my way out to Westmintser that lies on the Anna border, much less Gar Hole. Boy, I didn't know what I was missing out on! I don't care for loud good music or large crowds (which Gar Hole is famous for) so I opted to go here on an early quiet Sunday morning when I knew it would not be busy. Gar Hole reminds me of the Texas I used to know. Very Texas small town feel. Very friendly staff, Texas pride everywhere and just an overall comfortable old school welcoming feeling. As I walked through the entrance doors, I was immediately greeted and welcomed by a gentleman in a t-shirt and shorts and a straw hat (whom I assumed was the owner as I later watched him checking on his staff and tending to obvious other frequent customers...a very polite owner/operator in t-shirts and shorts greeting customers on a Sunday morning is a very good sign in my book!). I was greeted at the bar by a very friendly and kind soul (Sorry I can't recall her name). I ordered two drinks (not at the same time!). They were made very well and generous with the pour. I placed an order for two taco orders to go. They were made very fresh and priced quite reasonably. Taste was spot-on! Overall, this place has it all. History, service, food quality and Texas Charm. (This place has a lot of interesting history. Look at other reviews or Google for more details.) I'm so glad I came here. I hope to frequent more often. The overpriced and lame big chain stuff popping up in and around Anna is quite frankly, embarrassing. This spot is a solid 6. But *yelp will only allow me 5!

    All I can saw is this place is a destination!!! A must visit destination! The food is awesome, the history and story the owner tells is amazing. Please as to talk to owner about how he named the bar and it's history with Bonnie and Clyde and movies it's been in. As for burgers, 10/10 and Jalapeño fries... 20/10! They are sliced fried jalapeños with ranch dressing..... amazing. Live music, great food, awesome service. This is a hidden gem in todays world.

    As I begin writing this I've already been in line 30 minutes. Let me point out the Only reason I'm…read morestanding in line this long is,Press releases say this place is closing. I've just ordered and they tell me it's another 25-30 minute wait. I'll be back with a review of the food and more details then. I'm back after a total wait of one hour! Let me say,it was worth the wait. If they are still open when you read this,it's worth the trip. I've had this place book marked several years. Opened in 1951, it's the quintessential small town burger stand. I just forgot about it until the other day when I read they're closing. Don't cry,it's because of real estate values. It's no longer economically feasible to make small profits working hard no matter how good the burgers are. The burgers are really good. This place is slammed. I saw two large door dash orders go out and a lot of people that must have ordered online Coming and going. Finally my name was called and I took my piping hot brown paper sack to the hood of my truck. Looking into the sack,loose fry,pull it out,bite it, perfect. Unwrap burger,looks fantastic, bitting into it.... satisfaction! I'm a sucker for small towns but Anna is no more. In only five years the influx of migrants from other states have fueled exponential growth. It's happening everywhere and places like Spurlocks are the victims. It's our loss too,as these quaint old places harbor a lot of history. The kind that built America. Usually the Yelp community competes to be the first to Review a new business. I find it satisfying in this case and honored that I may be the last to Review... The Malt Shop

    Found this gem on help when looking for a local ice cream shop in Anna!…read more Upon arriving and parking, you could tell this was an older business, but that it was gonna pump out some good old-fashioned food! And we were not wrong... We tried the cookies and cream malt, fried Oreos, as shown in the picture, and of course we had to get some fries. All came out piping hot, except for the malts, of course. My kid said it was one of the best malts they have ever had, which is a strong statement because they are ice cream connoisseur lol. Their fries were crinkle cut which just added to the old school feel the fried Oreos were cooked to perfection and exactly what I wanted There is a cute little indoor seating area next to the kitchen, but we didn't take advantage of it because we got our food to go. However, we will definitely be back now that we are locals.

Every time I walked in I was nothing but respectful, smiled ear to ear every time i've seen her regardless of always being met with an eye roll, or an attitude every single time i've spoken to her, but I always brush it off. I don't know what this lady's deal is when all i've done is shown her respect and gave them business ! She has a stick up her ass every time I go to order and I can never figure out why. Not sure if it's racially motivated but I have an inkling. Here are the "Birria Taquitos" she prepared for me. Take from this what you will. Irregardless of this actual disgrace to Birria Taquitos, I decided to put that aside and pick something else on the menu the following day. As soon as I stepped inside I noticed her and we both locked eyes, then I gave her the biggest smile. What did I get in return ? The rudest most direct eye roll I have ever received. I walked out immediately after and haven't been back since. It truly saddens me because this was my go-to place for a short while, but if you value respect, and good quality food, I recommend you take your business elsewhere. Unless you're.. you know, but, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk !

The burger tasted old and disgusting. I gave some to my girl and she agreed it definitely is not up to standard. The guy that took my order gave me a flat fountain drink! I ordered a sprite and found out he gave me the scraps, it didn't taste right at all. Definitely not a good atmosphere and just overall never going back again.

I tell him not half and half just a little bit of sweet like a splash or two so he changes it to special request. So after I pay I go to the next window and the girl is wearing a heavy lipstick and doesn't smile doesn't say a word and just hands me the iced tea. I ask her, "is it unsweetened with just a little bit of sweet" and she nods her head yes, then hands me my burgers and only one napkin. I taste the tea and there is no sweet at all so she takes my cup and remakes it. After she hands it to me I I'm drive away and noticed she poured all the ice out and gave me like half sweet this time. I'm not happy I need ice driving in this heat today and I have to watch my sugar, so I park my car and go inside to get some ice and fix it. I tell the manager in the white shirt that the girl didn't give me any ice in my iced tea and she's rude didn't even greet me or say you're welcome. So he handed me a cup to go get ice and said maybe they wrote it as no ice. That's ridiculous why would I say that. It's on the ticket unsweetened special request. Then after I fixed my iced tea and got some ice, I saw the manager standing by the registers again and I also mentioned that "the girl was not nice and only gave me one napkin what's wrong with her" I said. He didn't say a word just has a stare with his mouth half open. There was a very tall black worker a man who heard me tell him about the napkins and he turns around and grabs a bunch of napkins from behind him on a rack and hands them to me, I told him thank you that's very nice of you. He went out of his way to help me. I don't understand this place sometimes everything is ok, sometimes not! The girl at the pick up window should at least smile if she's not going to greet you or be friendly. What's all that heavy dark pink lipstick for if shes not even going to smile. She had a bored mad look. I always learned not to wear heavy makeup and to cover your hair when working in the food industry. Maybe I'm old fashioned but they can at least be polite and smile!!!
