Granny&#x27;s Restaurant

When I wrote this review, I was the sixth review ever…read more The other five reviews were five stars. I gave it five stars too. That should tell you something. * * * Herk's is a small convenience store with their own sandwich business. At lunch time, there are fifteen trucks parked outside. That means fifteen to thirty working guys getting lunch. Those fifteen to thirty guys know what they are doing. * * * The menu is hamburgers, a little bit of breakfast stuff, a little bit of brisket, a little bit of Mexican stuff and some non-hamburger grilled sandwiches. The hamburgers are rightly famous. I had a smoked turkey sandwich that was fantabulous. The secret was a cheesy jalapeno bread that was massively buttered and then toasted on the grill. The buttered bread was simply to die for. But it didn't hurt that they took the turkey off the loaf and grilled it until there was a good char on the meat. I never knew turkey loaf turkey could be grilled - and I didn't know it tastes great when grilled. Put that on your list with bologna of surprising foods that taste amazing hot if you put a char on them. * * * But the whole place is classy - not just the sandwiches themselves. Even though Herk's has almost no space, they put out one of the best displays of energy drinks you will ever see at a convenience store. And they have a great selection of everyday beer. Also tucked away in a corner is a supply of shampoo, deodorant and other clean-up supplies. You doing something really dirty and have to look good after work? Herk's has got you covered. You can get charged up in the morning. You can get charged up midday. You can kick back at night. And if something goes wrong with your truck, they even have a small stock of emergency truck supplies. * * * The place also goes out of the way to help out the local community. They have a big ad for a benefit for a local resident who survived what should have been an absolutely fatal stroke. That patient is now facing months of expensive rehabilitation. The community is selling homemade briskets and doing a great big benefit dinner. They have announcements for the Central Texas Diabetes support fundraiser (two C & W bands and another dinner.) There is a third dinner the next day for the local Lutheran church. (This time, the attendees get roast beef.) If cooking is going to be what helps people in need, Lexington, Texas is willing to do a lot of cooking. The community material can also be naughty rather than nice. They have a big ad for the locally made spice mix with a Before and After picture showing the merits of the spices. The After Picture is a Beautiful Model. The Before Picture is Old Hillary Clinton. There are gags about living on $15 a week. You use $8 for your beer, $1 for the wife's beer, $2 for horse tips, $5 for other fun stuff. You buy your groceries on credit. If your expenses go over $15 a week, your next move is to cancel the wife's beer. There are jokes about how no one has ever figured out how to win an argument with a woman. There are plenty of jokes about drinking as well, and a few not-so-naughty jokes about riding. * * * You get the idea. Herk's is more than just a place to get hamburgers. It is a place that takes care of its people. It provides the goods and services local people need. It provides a meeting place. It stands up for the high and noble virtues. It stands up for the sins that people-are-gonna-commit-anyway. * * * Overall you gotta like Herk's. Soul is a funny choice of word for a country western establishment. But, in a very real way, this place has soul.

Some other sandwiches and a chef salad round out lunch. The beef is all from the Diamond A Ranch next door. They also have some breakfast items like tacos and biscuit sandwiches. The tea is fresh and good quality. The food is cooked fresh to order so expect a little wait. Unfortunately, we found the burgers to be rather dry and not tender and juicy, like there wasn't enough fat in the beef. The beefy flavor was excellent, though, and it was well seasoned. These half pounders are ginormous and two people could share one. The fries were obviously freshly made and flavorwise were tasty, but they weren't crispy :( I might try this place again sometime as there's a lot going for it and I like to support small local businesses. And you can buy the local beef to take home.

But if you've got a sweet tooth you may need to add sweetener. - Add the seasoning to whatever fried potato you order. So good! - Careful of what you flush in the restroom.

I usually call in our order when we are about 20 minutes away from our stop. Everytime I call in the order the person on the other end is friendly and repeats back what we order. The convenient store part of Hruska's has a lot of items that you can choose from to purchase and they have clean bathrooms which is a positive. When we get there we park, walk in and head to pick up our food at the counter. It's usually labeled with the ticket stapled to the bag. We then get in line to pay for our food. The line is usually backed up but moves fairly quickly. There is also a small area with tables and chairs that you can sit at and enjoy your meal or sit there if you need a rest. For my meal I usually order a Hamburger which comes with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. I usually get mine with mustard. Their burgers are so good and a good size. Overall Hruska's is a great stopping place while traveling. Whether it's for gas, a bathroom break, or if you want to grab something to eat this is a one stop shop place.

But if you're into good ol' fashion greasy diner style hamburgers, this be the place. Getting about 1:00 and was needing some lunch.

I went with the patty melt and boy was it some good. Two think n juicy patty's, two slices of cheese and some seriously good grilled onions. I was able to get half down. The rest for tonight.

This place is legit though, a true place where locals go and eat and have some beers. I knew it would be a great place when we walked in and there was a sign that said $1.25 PBR, that can not be beat. I picked up a friend who was on location and he said he heard from the landowner we needed to try this place. So we drove about 15 minutes on a country road that had no lights or anything, we then stumbled upon this place. Walking in there wasn't that many people there, a pool table in the back and the place was lit by neon signs. I had the cheeseburger on some type of bun that they have which was legit. A standard greasy cheeseburger that made the bun soggy. The PBR's were going down all too easy and I wanted to stay, but knowing that I was a city slicker and there was a high chance I'd get my ass kicked we decided to leave. I would definitely hit this place up again. Such good food and cold cold beer. Yee-haw y'all.

We always see friends we know and usually make new friends while we're there. They usually have a special. Last nite it was brisket. I took a bite of my bros. delish!!!!! Comes w/2 sides. And one of them HAS to be the homemade german noodles. Hey, you're in German Czech country ya have to have homemade noodles. On Fri and Sat nites they have a band out back. Very cool. ( I use that word loosely in Texas in the summer) So, I'll finish talking about the burgers. They cook 'em up in back w/whatever you want on them and you can get it on a reg bun or jalapeno bun. They are so good and fresh and they're just an old fashioned hamurger. Just the way I like them. Oh and their ff are fried in peanut oil. They have cold beer (I'm told) and they have wine. Choice of red or white. That cracks me up. I like the "red". Gotta try it. You'll have to ask a local how to get there. Its in the boonies but worth it.

I ordered the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Yall 12oz for $26 dollars is an absolute steal. I was worried about the quality due to the price but I was impressed! The meat was good the mashed potatoes tasted sweet though so not a fan of those. But for $26 I wasn't even complaining. Now back to these fried pickle, I text everyone I know "I just found the best fried pickles in Texas" as I scarfed them down. If you are ever passing through you must stop to grab a basket of them.
