I have been…read moreto Chinatown in New York City, Chicago and LA and the food has never been close to this level of food. I placed a to go order and it was ready in eight minutes, and when I walked in on a Thursday evening, nobody was dining in which I found strange. I got the general Tso meal with crab Rangoon's and let me tell you something. The flavor of both dishes made me weak behind my knees. I have been to 49 out of 50 states and have had some variation of Chinese/Asian food in every single one of them.... this is head and shoulders above any other restaurant I have ever had and I just cannot put into words how great this place was. Whether you are here for vacation or work, like I am, please do yourself a favor and head on down to China wok, across from the train car.

We were debating splitting a meal when the girl behind the counter offered the option of the lunch menu (even though it was after 4pm). We ordered orange chicken & Kung Pao chicken and waited. While we were waiting, 3 locals came in for pick up orders... good sign! They were so nice to every customer- making each feel welcomed and appreciated. We got plenty of food (ate the rest of mine for lunch today) and enjoyed our food in the RV. Nice find in a cute town.

We had a variety of tacos that we tried: potato, Egg and cheese, chorizo and egg, bacon, egg and cheese. What you should know about me is that I have a VERY strong stomach and will eat almost any leftovers we have in our fridge ALL YEAR round. These tacos were absolutely terrible. The ingredients were left warming too long and had the absolute life cooked out of ALL of them. For some reason, the flour tortillas tasted grainy and were plain inedible. Not a surprise, but I recommend you avoid this place at all costs.

Fabulous barbecue! Drove to Llano on SH 29. It's on the right before you get in town…read more Inconspicuous signage says it's only open Saturday and Sunday. Opens at 11. You get to Tumlinson's before you reach the much more popular and more crowded Cooper's in town. Arrived around 1:30 on Saturday and there was only one car in the parking lot. No one else in the restaurant but no matter, the food is incredible! I don't believe there is something as the "best" barbecue. I think that there is a sort of supreme level that has a great smoke ring, a great bark, quality meat and basically melts in your mouth. So tender you can break it up with a fork but I might use a knife so I can create smaller pieces. THIS PLACE IS ALL OF THAT with perfect rendering and a master class in what a brisket should be. 5 out of 5. As good as any I have ever had and what I expect as the top of what barbecue brisket can be. The ribs were cooked perfectly with bountiful meat on the bone. The rub was not noteworthy but they were tasty and led me to use the sauce. The sauce is excellent - thick and vinegarry with a hint of sweetness. Only ordered one side - the potato salad. Much better than most. Not what I would put in the best category but totally worth eating. The pickles and onions? Wow! I wouldn't bother mentioning unless they were amazing. (Or terrible.) These were amazing! What I loved was that they cut up the onions in chunks rather than slices. The pickles were chunks of whole dills and not canned sliced pickles. Finally, I'll get to the ambiance. It's spacious with lots of seating inside. Good a/c. Two small windows that look out across the beautiful Hill Country for miles. Since the wildflowers were in epic form on the drive, the view was amazing this day. But it would be excellent without them. I should have taken a picture but I was too busy eating. We left Tumlinson's SmokyTop and went to Cooper's and as a comparison, I give the edge to Tumlinson's. The briskets were both in the same top echelon of what I expect a smoked brisket to be, but I think Tumlinson's was just slightly better. But where Tumlinson's crushes Cooper's is in the ambiance/atmosphere. Cooper's seating is indoor with no real outdoor tables. So you eat in a confined, windowless room that is not inviting. No music playing. Tumlinson's with no one else in it was memorable. I couldn't wait to get out of Cooper's. Felt a little creepy. Finally, Tumlinson's was selling brisket at $24 per pound while Cooper's was $26.99. This part is insignificant to me for the most part but there is a real price difference. Final verdict - Tumlinson's 5 out of 5. Cooper's 4.8 out of 5.
