Turkey sandwich
Alfredo C.

Yes, it's the real deal- the actual small town corner bakery you might have read about in old novels. But it's 2021 now, and Mom is serving up old-fashioned sandwiches on freshly baked fluffy bread. They offer a WiFi connection and will share their printer if you need it. There is a well-stocked Little Free Library just inside the door. If you decide to set a spell to read, or chat with the locals, you should order one of the pastries to go with your coffee . We scored a pair of delicious cookies to take on the road. In summary, we most definitely shall return. BTW, If you can find the Watermelon Thumping arena, you are only a few steps away from this fine bakery.

This is a really nice place, and even the guests are so welcoming when walking in. If you like strong coffee, this is not the right place to get one. Make sure you check in to get a free cookie.

Ham and Turkey Lettuce wrap with a crunchy pickle spear.

A local favorite for coffee and bite to eat. I had a lettuce wrap. For lunch today and it was so pretty! I know that seems silly, but it was. And it tasted great too. I asked for light mayonnaise and they did it perfectly. The owner, Gretchen, was there and she really is a Mom kind of character. All the staff was friendly. It was fun to be told "I AM the menu" when I asked what they had. Besides Ice creams and about any kind of fancy coffee you can think of they have a limited menu of incredibly fresh food. The counter girl Asked a few questions and guided quickly to my selection. It really was fun. That food was great too! The bread is fresh baked every morning and the cookies are fresh baked throughout the day. No day old stuff is sold here. Now, I must go get a warm out of the oven oatmeal cookie, I could smell them baking and I think they just finished.

Love in the time of Covid-19.... all you need is to open the door of this Main Street, well loved little bakery and you'll be wrapped in the aroma of fresh baked bread and memories of sweet times at grandmas house in the country. Staying at the nearby state park, Yelp did not disappoint bringing us here! Though we couldn't dine-in, there were a few chairs on the sidewalk in the shade and we had the cool experience of watching a train speed by as we enjoyed our lunch. We had the chicken salad garden salad, it was refreshing and delicious; just the right serving size for lunch! Our server said it wasn't so popular, but it SHOULD BE! Worth the stop, and had we not been following keto, oh the bread, I'm sure, it would've been magical!

Great little stop in Luling! We were passing by and I just happened to look on Yelp and see they had a lot of great reviews so we stopped in for lunch. Good sandwiches on yummy bread. The muffins and chocolate chip cookies were tasty too! They have a selection of sandwiches and bakery goods and ice cream. Quaint and small-town diner feel. All the employees were very nice and attentive.

Lovely small town cafe

We love coming here on our trips between Houston and San Antonio of the Hill Country. Their bread is baked fresh and cut thick. Just like in days gone by. The crest is well baked, yet thin and can easiest peel away. Yet you still have this thick soft bread to sink your teeth into. It's so worth it to spend some time here instead of the larger chain stores on the highway. The tomatoes are fresh and today you can tell we're ripened in the vine. Their sweetness reminds me of home garden raise vegetables. The way we were meant to enjoy food. Save room for a cookie or their small batch ice cream. Expect to be greeted with a smile and a friendly hello from everyone. This is a real good charming place to visit

Blueberry muffin
Alexandra L.

Greeted from the beginning! Very welcoming and friendly little shop. Happy we stopped for a coffee break bc we also left feeling happy and taken care of! Plus our coffees cookies and muffins all tasted amazing. Thank you for great friendly customer service!!

Open faced chicken salad sandwich!

Mom's Front Porch amazed me again. Today I asked if they can make an open faced chicken salad sandwiche. And delivered they did! Super fresh !

The homemade blueberry muffins.

I found Mom's Front Porch at the recommendation from the skydiving staff a couple miles away. It was a blustery day so we had time to kill while waiting for our skydive. We were greeted by the most lovely staff, including the owner Gretchen. The blueberry muffin was my favorite but the banana crisp was good as well. The coffee is pretty good and goes well with their delicious pastries! Definitely a must-visit-locale if you find yourself in Luling, TX.

We did a day trip to Luling. Stopped at Mom's Front Porch for ice cream. It was some of the best ice cream w large scoop for 2.75. They will even let you do 2 flavors and split it for the same cost. What a cute place to stop if your hungry. Tanna was so sweet and let us basically try every flavor

Ice cream!!!
Pablo N.

All I can say it Yummy Yummy, We were leaving a family gathering and then we started to look for ice cream and we found this gem. Both thumbs up from Matthew and John and Veronica and myself Ice Cream Ice Cream.. we all want Ice Cream

Chicken salad sandwich on homemade fresh bread, homemade cookies made fresh this morning, and handmade lemonade!

I just moved into some of the offices down the road and with the watermelon thump going on I didn't want to trek very far for food... I noticed this little cozy storefront with people enjoying themselves outside, and decided I'd pop in after hearing about fresh homemade sweets. It was easily the best decision I could have made! Gretchen and the other lovely people behind the counter were warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home at Mom's Front Porch. The chicken salad sandwich is delicious, the chocolate chip cookies are to die for, and the lemonade is PERFECT on such a warm day. They'll definitely be seeing a lot more of me! I can't wait to go back for ice cream and coffee!!

Is this the best Buc-ee's? While it's got the same selection as others and is about as large, it…read moredoesn't seem to be an overwhelmingly full of people which is a win. There's tons of parking and lots of pumps. I was traveling with my baby for the first time so having space away from everyone while we settled into what we needed to do was perfect. We grabbed the very last pump and no one was near us, which let us take our time. The bathrooms are large and we used a big handicap stall which had a changing table AND sink in it. It would be helpful if they had a sign noting that as it's very much a family stall (not just handicap) Overall a good Buc-ee's and a great stop

I ended up in Texas because of a guy with a Buc-ee's T-shirt…read more About year ago while shopping for groceries at Freddy's (aka Fred Meyer) I saw some guy confidently wearing a red t-shirt with a cartoon looking beaver on it. I was like, "Um, ok, what's that about?" I got home and looked it up. I found out it was Texan company. Then I decided I wanted to visit the biggest Buc-ee's in the Lone Star State. We landed in San Antonio and rented a car. Thankfully it didn't have a California license plate. We drove to Luling on our way to Austin. We pulled into the Buc-ee's parking lot. We saw the gas prices. Gas in Texas is more affordable than Washington State. Took a photo with the metal critter in front of the entrance then made our way into the store. Spacious, busy. Bathroom was clean. We picked up some brisket sandwiches and some sodas. Food is more affordable in Texas. We also bought some souvenirs to take back home including a red shirt with the beaver.

Cute restaurant. My husband and I each ordered a hot dog He had the chili dog and I had mustard…read moreand pickle relish dog. Delicious! Buns were toasted. We will come again. Lots to look at.

Passing through Luling on a weekend road trip we got a little hungry and didn't want to hit up fast…read morefood. When we read the name we thought... dang it, we're in. We walked into a time warp! 80s wrestling on tv, 50s and 60s music playing on the speakers, old Coke signs on the wall and a framed 8x10 of Kerry Von Erich w/ Iceman King Parsons at the register. They've got an entire back room that looks like someone's grandmas living room from 40 years ago. As cool and interesting as the ambience was, the food was just as amazing. As you might have guessed, it's a themed fancy hot dog restaurant. The dogs themselves are standard sized and delicious I ordered the "Hi Ho Silver" which is topped with cheese, ranch, jalapeño and bacon. My wife has the "Bandstand" which is a chili weiner. Both were served with home fries and both were $4.99. In addition to the weiners, they have burgers, sandwiches and salads. One kiddo ordered the "Wake Up Little Suzy" burger which includes hash browns and a fried egg ON the burger and the other ordered the "Lucy B" salad and they halved it with each other. The owners are a mother-daughter combo and when talking to them (they were very nice) we learned that the cupcakes and lemon bars were also made in house. We also found out why the place has such a goofy name. Seems there's a cartoon from the early 1900s about a "Gentleman Rabbit" called Uncle Wiggily. A relative suggested that as the name, they changed the spelling a little and... BobsYourUncle... restaurant named. I will say the same is perfect. The place is slightly odd, fantastically eccentric and a little goofy. And the food is priced great (family of 4 in and out for under $30) and is delicious. It's totally worth a trip from out of town to Luling just to eat here... and if you're driving through try and time your hunger right. You won't regret it.
