HUGE AND LONG-OVERDUE RAVE FOR H-E-B…read more I went to the H-E-B this morning. My beloved bride (also known as my domestic supervisor) slept late, but not before giving me a list of what to get. And in spite of the fact that I had a list, I still forgot a couple of things. In my defense, I can only say that I read lists just about as well as I read instructions or ask for directions. Such is life. I enjoy grocery shopping at H-E-B. I can't think of very many men who do enjoy that particular activity, but to me it's fun. Going to the H-E-B gives me an opportunity to "people-watch," something that I have done as far back as I can remember. People can be very entertaining. One morning, I saw two Tarleton students - male and female - shopping. What got my attention was the fact that the young lady climbed over into the basket with the assistance of the young man, and it was obvious that she was thoroughly enjoying him chauffeuring her around. About five minutes later on that same morning, I saw a young mother negotiating with her child, who was probably four years old. Frankly, I've never understood parents who allow their children to talk that way, but it's not my child or grandchild, and therefore is none of my business. This morning, I had a brief conversation with a beautiful older woman. I was getting a gallon of milk out of the cooler when I heard her voice behind me, saying "I just wanted to let you know that I'm right behind you. Would you please hand me a gallon of that milk? I hope me being this close to you does not bother you. I promise that I won't bite." I turned and looked at her as I handed her the gallon of milk and I said, "ma'am, I don't believe that any woman is beautiful as you would bite." She smiled, looked me dead in the eyes, and said "honey, has anyone ever told you that you are full of sh*t?" "Yes ma'am, I hear that quite often." She laughed, gently patted me on the arm, thanked me for helping her, and walked away. I love interacting with nice people who I don't know. I also enjoy grocery shopping because I get to see all of the wonderful employees that the H-E-B has. Unless they are on the Texas or FBI's 10 most wanted list, people like to be recognized. Whether it is by facial recognition (or even better by the sound of their name), people enjoy being recognized. They never fail to do that at the H-E-B grocery. They never fail to greet me by my name or with a smile or both. People like Shelley, Sean, Linell, Koran, and many others, whose names escape my memory at this particular moment in time. I've never had a negative experience with any employees there. It is obvious that they are selected very carefully for employment and then trained very well afterwards. I have actually had those employees woke up to me and say, "Mr. Hutson, are you finding everything you need today?" And if for some reason I can't find something, I can always count on them to either tell me where that item is at or find someone who knows. In an age where having pronouns is popular, H-E-B employees' favorite pronouns must be "sir " and "ma'am, " because they never fail to interject them during a conversation with a customer. I can always find what I want to eat there. Their trucks arrived promptly, and the shelves are stocked just as promptly. I often hear complaints that the store is still too small, and I suppose that it is true. I know that I have made that same claim to my beloved bride/domestic supervisor, who tells me to stop complaining and to just be thankful that they have a wider variety of items than they used to have before remodeling. I have also heard complaints that the parking lot is too small, and maybe it is. I think that it speaks to the fact that Stephenville is growing. Tarleton is at an all-time high with enrollment and it's only going to get bigger. I just try to shop early in the morning when there are very few people there. I am retired and I like to sleep late when I can, but I've got to shop sometime. I can control the crowds if the crowds are not there when I'm shopping early in the morning. The downside to shopping early in the morning is that there are not nearly as many people to watch. I guess you can't have everything. The HEB grocery store is managed by and staffed with ROCK STARS! I am sorry that I am just now writing this rave when I have been shopping with you for 25 years. I suppose that doing it now is better than not doing it at all, but I wish I had done it sooner. I'm sorry that I didn't. Thank you all of you not only for all that you do, but for making my life such an easier place to live.

This one is a bit hidden, as it sits behind a lot of other shops and stores, just look for the sign, as the building itself is hard to see from the street. It's a small one, it's a one entry building, not the 2 or 3 entry mega boxes in the large cities, this is small and compact. The store was clean. For a Tuesday night it had a LOT of teenage kids huddled up in crowds in the middle of the aisles. Not the stores fault, but an inconvenience. This one is set up very similar to other locations. Entry on the grocery side, pharmacy and housewares to the left, clothes in the middle, electronics in the back. Staff was busy, a few actually greeted us and asked if we needed help finding something. Part of the small town charm, that interaction is rare in our larger town. Hidden small store, only one way in and out, yet it has everything (that we saw) that the larger boxes have.

I have been in several other smaller United grocery stores which were great, but this one is much larger and offers more. At home we have an excellent grocery store popular in Texas and known by three letters. But if this United grocery store was in our town I would shop here.

I would have one important suggestion to the tamale maker; add more shortening and salt to the masa. The way the masa is made now without the added shortening and salt, the tamales are way to dry and the masa crumbles after heating the tamales.

The deli service has improved greatly in the last couple of years. Sometimes, when an associate is sweeping, the isles, they make me feel like I'm in their way. I don't like that. It can be difficult to get service in the electronics department. What you really have to watch out for is the other customers, some of them really don't understand the concept of watching where they're going, be it in the store or in the parking lot, they will step right out in front of you with no hesitation. They treat that buggy they're pushing like it's some kind of magic armor. Like I said tho, it's a Walmart.

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!
