First let me start by saying that I typically go out of my way to support small businesses. So,…read morewhen I saw Gus' Deli, with a 4.8 star rating, I knew I couldn't resist stopping in. (Tl:Dr at bottom) The restaurant itself is very charming. The service was done with a smile. The problem came when I was handed my bag to-go. It felt LIGHT. I rewound in my head to recall the price of my meal. $15.50. I said "there can't be a sandwich in this container. Somethings missing." To my surprise there was a sandwich inside the container. The smallest Reuben sandwich I've ever laid eyes upon. Astonished I asked the counter lady "is this the $15 version or is this a half order or something?" She called for the manager. The manager assured me that this was $15.50 worth of food because "there's chips and a pickle." The sandwich, while delicious, was a mess. It's a Reuben, to be expected. Do they give you napkins? Nope. They put a sticker on the Togo box though, which is charming but, a waste of their overhead. The chips were almost stale, but not quite. Obviously poured from a large bag arbitrarily into the Togo container. Nothing to note of the pickle. This was not a $15.50 meal. The place was empty, and now I know why. Rather than being seen as an alternative to a chain deli restaurant right down the street this place is viewed as a more expensive option. And in today's economy that's not a winning strategy. This business could learn something from the recent pricing scenario that Doritos went through. They raised prices, likely to keep their margin as high as possible while production costs rise, and instead of taking in the profits they saw consumers leave their chips on the shelf in search of cheaper options. Are they still the best flavored chips on the market, arguable but likely. But what they did after the backlash was to lower prices and therefore gain volume sales, which makes the margin less relevant. This business is likely failing. No deli should be empty at 11am. That's lunch time, and deli sandwiches are a staple meal for lunch in America. This business will be gone, sadly, and in its place a 5 guys burgers will eventually take its place. At least they'll avoid putting a sticker on the Togo container and likely give you a napkin or two. The cost difference is probably staggering. Tl:Dr overpriced little sandwich.

Donald Citrano's Coffee Shop Cafe…read more07-12-26 Me and my family had a late lunch here. It's a nice café with friendly staff with a nice size dining room. They were really busy but we only had a 20 minute wait. They have a regular menu with lots to choose from. Traditional Café Menu. We chose the All You Can Buffet. Lots to choose from. Pork Chop with Dressing, Fried Catfish, Fried Chicken, Hamburger Steak, Chicken Fried Steak, General Sou Chicken. Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Squash, Okra Gumbo, Brussels Sprouts, Butter Beans, Macaroni and Cheese, Candied Yams, Mixed Vegetables, and 3 types of Gravy. Rolls, Cornbread, and Biscuits. Full Salad Bar and Deserts with Soft Serve Ice Cream! I'm not sure if I got everything that was available. Food was good. Will come back and try the Breakfast Buffet.

A simple little country café was just what I wanted. What we did not know was how popular this place was. Judging by the crowd inside and the pictures of all the famous people on the wall, the Coffee Shop Café appeared to have a very long and interesting history. We were promptly seated and after looking over a delicious menu, my wife went with the Philly Cheese steak omelet and I chose the Coffee Shop Special of two eggs, pancakes and sausage. Service was prompt and friendly but it was obvious that the café caters to a large local customer base that probably eat here several times a week. Our meals were hot and absolutely delicious and the price was ever so reasonable. I am no complaints other than the Coffee Shope Café is not located locally to me. Next time we are traveling up towards McGregor, we will definitely be stopping in this great café for another meal

They are very reasonably priced for BBQ. As for the meats they are delicious! Everything we ordered was smoked well, and you could see the smoke ring in the brisket. I do have to say that the brisket, ribs and ham were my favs. The BBQ sauce was pretty tasty as well and went well with everything. The sides were normal BBQ sides, nothing really blowing my mind on that one. As for the service the lady at the counter was very friendly and explained it all to me as to what was what. Super nice. The atmosphere here is of a local hole in the wall BBQ joint. You see local high school helmets. Wooden floors and chairs, tables. You can tell this place has been here for a while. They are not trying to be fancy, they are a trying to be a BBQ joint in a small Texas town. I have to say they are delivering on that. Overall a great BBQ experience. I would check them out during lunch sometime.

Barbeque is one food category that I am fairly picky on and it is hard to get a high rating from me…read moresince I am well traveled in Texas and have sampled some of the finest that Texas BBQ has to offer. Today, I ate at Coach's Bar-B-Que in McGregor, TX, right off of US 84. Coach's has been there for a while and is a local favorite. This was not my first visit, but it is a place I often stop when I an in the area. This is your typical Texas BBQ joint with a few twists. They apparently have a broad selection of other dishes. I have heard they make a mean pizza and that the catfish is worth the try. The service is warm and friendly, but the real treat of Coach's is the memorabilia scattered throughout the restaurant. From Texas license plates of every age to a collection of football helmets, it make the place feel lived in with history to back it up. There is ample seating indoors and out, with a large covered patio available at the front where you enter. Today, I selected a three meat plate with Brisket, Sausage and Ribs, along with their Campfire Beans and some Fried Okra. Again, it is hard to impress me with barbeque, but I will compliment the Brisket for being moist, tender with a good smoke ring. They use a traditional Texas style seasoning, simple salt and pepper, and the smoke was well infused through out the meat. Their Regular Sausage was well flavored, if a bit dry, with a nice black pepper finish, giving it a good pep at the end. It was the Ribs that I was a bit disappointed in. While well flavored and ample in size, they were a little tougher than I remember them being in the past. The Fried Okra was a bit of a let down too. While crunch and fresh when it came out, there was just not much flavor to the side dish. The real star of the plate by far was the Campfire Beans, a traditional style of barbeque baked beans, enhanced my trimmings of chopped brisket in the mix. Those could have been a meal unto themselves. If you are in the area of McGregor, check out Coach's. It is not a bad experience by far, but it is not one of the Texas legends either.

The beef rib was huge. It was well cooked, seasoned well, and without a heavy overpowering smoke taste and smell. The meat was tender and juicy. The pork rib meat was also perfectly cooked, the seasoning was one of the best mix of savory I had in a while. Instead of a special restaurant dinner for anniversary we thought we would eat a couple ribs. The adage @you get what you pay for" holds up well here. But the bill was exurban and this was before the current high price of meat & everything else. My husband said that I would not want to know what he paid which means over $100. I hope they can hang on until their supplies are more affordable. The cost will I am sure be a disadvantage. What we paid would have been or useful in filling my pantry. That being said, it was one of the most enjoyable meals we've brought home. If we could afford it we would definitely be our go-to place. We are looking forward to iur anniversary in a couple months when we won't feel guilty about paying a big price for a meal. I will go for flavor over fancy every time and Helberg fits that shoe.

There was a comment above about the waitresses not staying long. Being in a tiny little town that's not exactly affluent, and only two tables occupied during my entire visit, I suspect the tips are atrocious. Waitresses only make like $2/hr and depend on tips for the rest of their income. My waitresses was here by herself besides the cook, she was responsible for waiting plus clearing tables, washing the dishes, manning the checkout, literally everything except the actual cooking. She's been here three days and did a very good job considering she is brand new. I hope she stays. She spent several minutes talking to me about my current trip, checked on me regularly, and checked me out accurately and quickly. Carlos is the cook. He makes some damn good fried pork chops! Overall a great experience. Would recommend.
