    We were in town over in De Leon for work and came across this place about 10 miles away. Fair…read morewarning that apple and google maps cant find it correctly, but we drove around for a few minutes and saw the huge stacks of wood outside and knew we arrived. We ate inside the little building which is so cute snd charming. Not being from Texas, loved the authentic decor from the owners grandparents. We spoke to the owner and who we assumed was his daughter as we ordered and ate. So friendly and just lovely people. As for the food, we got the sampler platter which isn't on the menu but if you are 2 or even up to 6 people, get it. It has EVERYTHING! Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, sausage, ham and all the tasty sides. Everything was delicious. Best brisket I've had in Texas and the biggest ribs I haver ever seen. All the sides were equally delicious! He devoured the corn and cole slaw, I gobbled the beans and mac and cheese. The potato salad isn't like chunks of potato-more like mashed potatoes with a mustardy vinegar kick. Different but really good! Beans had bacon and great flavor. I was also incredibly shocked the entire thing was only $35 dollars! INSANELY good price for the amount of food. Would absolutely go back and support them. We also had leftovers for 2 more meals when we left!

    They have good fish on Friday but we went with pulled pork sandwich, chopped beef sandwich and…read moreloaded baked potato. All very good. Cole slaw was a little tangy which I really liked. Takes a while to get food if the drive through is backed up.

    DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

    I love the maverick burger but one of my favorite things is the grilled chicken salad !!! Delicious…read more! They make the chicken soooo good. Always friendly here and never had a bad meal ! Love them
