    Such a cool slice of Americana. Peruse the dusty collection of VHS tapes for rent, order a generous pour of Shiner for just about $2, and relax on the outdoor patio among the regulars. Definitely worth a stop if you're out this way.

    Biergarten area!

    Howard's is such a cool Texas stop near shiner. The first time we came here was a suggestion from our tour guide at shiner brewery since they can't sell any shiner beer at the brewery. We pulled up and thought "surely this isn't the right place." But yes it is! Walk in to the front counter and you can order fresh shiner beer on tap right at the counter. They also have a cute little "Biergarten" in the back with seating and fans, where you can sit and enjoy your beer. Come in, grab a beer, and hang out for a while and enjoy a quirky little gas station.

    Must stop. Have a beer and head out back. Popcorn was also brought out for our enjoyment. Orange and limes for our blue moon and dos exes. To extend this review I'll talk about the basketball goal and how they must have played basketball back here before they put the roof on.

    Cheap Pints....neat place to stop by and have a drink while you're in the area. Shiner Premium is my fav!

    Local place to hangout and have a cold beer. They have seating out back and are open on Sunday's, when the rest of the town is closed.

    Awesome place for an ice cold Shiner beer on tap. Very unique place and I mean that in the best way possible.

    Howards is the place where I take all shiner visitors. Great little spot to grab a beer and meet the locals. I know, I am one.

    I talked to the wonderful ladys at the Shiner brewery and asked them where was the first delivery and she said Howards.

    Isa Buc-ee's. food, beef ANYTHING (ong),…read more Thus far I picked up some beef jerky (mandatory), some drinks, mints, idk I'm kinda satisfied from some Italian spot I visited earlier BUT USUALLY le brisket is on point. Beef here slaps so hard it'll have californians wishing they were born here. No it's true, I've been told that by my cali ex's lol

    This may be the last Buc-ee's we visit as our road trip is nearing its end. It's supposed to be…read morethe largest one but one of the other ones we visited seemed the same size for both the pumps and store. This time instead of exploring their packaged snack products I thought about how much room we have left in our car and flying it home so I decided against it. I did buy 3 of their small cup size Blue Bell dark chocolate ice cream- for all of us but the cashier gave only one spoon. It tasted so good I had hubs go get me a large size one since I didn't eat a normal lunch and it was past 5 pm. While I waited in the car with the grandpup. I wanted to find some Bucee items for Doc since she's been our road trip driver plus made all the arrangements for hotels, tickets to parks, dinner show, etc. We all got different things: hubs got small bags of jerky, Doc got her favorite brisket sandwich to share with her Frenchie, a sausage on a stick and 3 peach cobblers for each of us to try. I like the large amount of clean restroom stalls plus soap. The cone of warmed sugary pecans and cinnamon bites were a sweet snack- finally gone from the first Buc-ee's a week ago. Before leaving Doc had us take a selfie and a nice gentleman also took a couple for us too.
