    Buffet
    Dwaine W.

    Max and I are in Texas for a few weeks and have passed this place almost every day on our way to the antique show we are doing. Left the show early to try this place and we were not disappointed!! Best sauerkraut I have ever eaten!! The stewed cabbage excellent as was just about everything else we had. The service also spot on. They even gave us to go cups of tea. What?!! Thanks so much!!

    Bread pudding was good

    Well well...this was a nice surprise! We visited years ago, and it wasn't anything special. We stopped by on our way back from a martial arts event in Houston. This time, it was such a great meal, for a great price, that I struggled to find negative items. I have to review the whole establishment, not just the restaurant itself. We got the buffet. It's not a buffet with tons of items. The items they did offer, were great! You get very full fast, not very many light items, unless you just get salad. Who gets salad at a buffet? Exactly.! We got roasted chicken, sausage, fried chicken, sausage, turkey breast, beef tips in gravy,rice, corn, macaroni salad, peach cobbler, and bread pudding. No complaints really on the food. Nothing was dry, and it was well seasoned! The sausage was the only thing we didn't like, just lacked flavor. Super affordable too! I love that! The big hit was the peach cobbler for me. I'm not a fan of it in general. I love when I give it foods another shot, and I get my mind changed! This one was awesome! The staff was super friendly and attentive! The negatives are for the place itself. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting! We said nope, we will hold it till bucceees. The store also makes no sense, and honestly seems extremely dated and the layout makes no sense. Also, there are not tons of items to choose in the buffet. Maybe we got lucky today, I was told they change items regularly. You're fine if you just eat here! I would eat here again if on the road and hungry!

    Service was great. BBQ brisket was a little better than Buckee's bbq brisket sandwich. it was about 15% fat which is how I like it. it was a little tough or more drier on the end which is to be expected. I could smell the "smoked" meat some. It is between lunch and dinner. Maybe it would have been better at lunch or dinner. I love a good tender brisket. This was probably an 8 out of 10 on the tenderness side.

    Some of the best chicken n' dumplings that I have ever had!!
    Rad F.

    There was delicious chicken n' dumplings, with soft, delicate noodles and a delectable, dainty sauce. The sausage was very tasty, it paired up perfectly with the sauerkraut. The actual restaurant is very clean and was built in 1969, still going strong! Our waitress, Renita, was so kind and she brought out my food in less than a minute! The ladies at the register were very helpful and kind, as well as understanding. The hostesses who worked near the buffet were very funny as well, making this experience amazing. There were no flies at the buffet, and all the food was fresh and hot! There was no limit on the amounts of desserts you picked out from the buffet either. My iron-deficient member of the party enjoyed the square ice. They said that it was the fourth best ice that they ever bit into. They welcome people of all ages and genders, and are very sweet!! 10/10 place, I absolutely recommend!!

    Sooooo tender and delicious

    Food and service were wonderful. I liked most everything there. Not a fan of the BBQ sauce but other than that loved it all.

    Found this spot on the way to the coast and it was a winner for sure....Can you say breakfast buffet...flashing back to Joey in Vegas...The service is exactly what you expect from an old school place....super sweet and friendly...Love the looks inside and out...also have a nice little store with various knick knacks....The food was outstanding and seriously some of the Best Bacon we have had...period.....Everything on the Buffet was fresh and hot...on the permanent radar for us.

    Chicken Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes, fried okra and cream gravy
    John W.

    Headed to Galveston from New Braunfels for our cruise, got hungry and stopped here for lunch. It's a staple in this area (been around since 1969!). I've been here before in the past, but my travel companions have not. They did have an epic looking lunch buffet, but we stuck with single entrees. Chicken Fried Chicken meal 8/10 - I would give this a 8/10 stars. Crust was very good with the chicken flavored great as well. Nice and crusty on the outside, yet still tender and moist on the inside. Mashed potatoes I would give 9/10, as they were homemade and tasted excellent! The fried okra I would say was a 6/10, as they seemed like typical frozen okra. They were good, but nothing to wow you. Club Sandwich 7/10 - the usual Club Sandwich, but all of the ingredients were fresh and portioned nice. Cheeseburger 7/10 - nice juicy burger and crispy fries. Typical cheeseburger plate, but everything was tasty. The service 8/10 - our server was attentive and very friendly. The atmosphere 7/10 - overall was nice. Seemed a little run down in some areas and renovated in others. It's a quirky atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this as a stop on I-10!! #roadtrip #comfortfood #southern #homecooking Cheeseburgers Fried Chicken

    Fried catfish served piping hot. Loved the coleslaw and fried squash. My boyfriend raved over the homemade sauerkraut. Friendly service too.

    I enjoy their barbecue. It's right out of the 60's and like the places we had in my childhood.

    A must stop if you are traveling between Houston and Austin on Hwy 71. I'm usually a Bucees guy,…read morebut this place specializes in something that the beaver doesn't. Kolaches! Arguably one of the greatest foods ever invented. Atleast in my world. How can you go wrong with bread filled with sweet or savory fillings? Hruska's is about halfway between Houston and Austin and a perfect rest stop to fill up on gas, use the clean facilities, grab a snack or indulge in their amazing baked goods. They are steeped in history and have been around for decades passing along the family recipes. It's obviously improved structurally over the years from a country store and looks like a modern gas station now. It's always pretty busy every time I have stopped in, but they are a well oiled machine and keep the masses moving with excellent customer service. They have all your gas station essentials like snacks and beverages. What sets them apart is their bakery. Here, they label their kolaches as the traditional fruit filled variety. I like them, but they are never my first choice. I love the ones with meat inside. Here, they label these as pigs in a blanket. They have a large variety of both. I usually go for a regular sausage and cheese, but over here, they sell a delicious pan sausage kind. On top of all their sweet and savory baked goods, they also sell burgers on the grill. Their burgers have made it to the Texas Monthly Top 50 burger spots. I have yet to try it. Overall, this is an always stop place for me. I highly recommend stopping here to stretch your legs and enjoy a delicious pastry while you're at it. I will definitely be back.

    Great half way stop between Houston and Austin. Friendly gas stop / local bakery with a Texas…read moreSouthern Hospitality vibe. Gas prices were reasonable for being directly off 71 and service was friendly. Plenty of snacking choices with a local bakery with signature kolaches and Danish. Worth a look !!
