I live in Blanco, so I was hoping for a small place just to get some housesitting provisions diet soda, frozen pizza, and some chips. I pleasantly found Arlan's Market. I loved the art deco style store, and when I walked in it transported me to the old stores i would go to with my Abuela. I was pleasantly surprised with all the offers and choices. I loved the meat market and the choices of all the different snacks, but we found the deli and were amazed. The store felt like I had been going there for years. The employees were nice and attentive. I couldn't stop raving about it. My father in law started going there since and he loves the meat packs and all the choices there. It reminds him of the small grocery stores in New England. If you are in the area I definitely stopping by for a quick bite and an outstanding shopping experience. We definitely got some mexican pastries on our way out.

This is a small grocery store that brings back to memories of the old stores growing up. They have…read moregreat meat specials, and some of the friendless people working there. Granted produce is not always top notch, but Monday forces you to buy it. They have a very wide variety of Mexican spices which I really like, and carry local produced items. The deli is fantastic with great breakfast tacos, fantastic lunches, and the best fried chicken around. If I can get it at Arlan's I would rather support them and places like Granzins then go to a big chain store, where customer service with a smile seems to hard to come by!

I like that it is literally a general store, you know, like in the old days, where you went to one small shop for all of your needs. The store has everything from collectibles and souvenirs to arts & craft items, children's toys & games, novelty items, gifts, clothing, candles, holiday decor, yard decor, and so on. They carry a wide selection of treats, including old-fashioned candy like flavored candy sticks, modern candy bars, sodas, fudge, and ice cream. OMFudge!! Some of the best ever! You can also get pickles, jams, and salsas. I always like picking up a few of these items to take home as well as to send to family on the East Coast. The ice cream is a wonderful treat on a hot summer day in Gruene. The ice cream area, kind of like an old school counter set up is adorbs. Everything here just makes me feel like I'm in an old cowboy movie. It gets pretty busy during peak times but I have to say the staff are fast & friendly and don't make customers feel rushed.

If i could give this store zero stars i would. There are new owners since the last review…read more My husband used to frequent this store every single day for years before the new owners. He and i both refuse to go back. For him is because there is now a minimum on what you can put on your cc and the owner was very rude to him. For me, is because of an incident that happened in October. I drive a small car and don't have cup holders. So whenever i buy my tall iced tea's in a can i always ask for a paper bag so it's not so cold between my legs. He refused to give me a bag. Which i thought was strange. I did not raise my voice at all with him i simply tried to explain to him why i wanted a bag. He was extremely rude so i was going to put my tea back. He told me no again, and to give him the tea. I set it on the counter and he then told me to get out and never come back... he was one of the rudest people I've had to come into contact with. Zero stars. Don't go in and let this person be rude to you. There is another store simply 2 blocks away.

I asked the first cashier how to use the ice machine and that's when I learned that it was broken. The tax when another cashier heard me and offered to make me a few bags of ice. He really made my day. Normally I support local business only but I was really appreciative of the customer service I was given at QT.

I did not know anything about QT prior to them opening a business here. One thing I've found is…read morethat I am so glad that they moved to our community. Having very few gas stations in the area meant that Wal-Mart and HEB set the pricing for gas. They were OK, but our prices remained more than 10 cents a gallon more expensive than San Antonio or New Braunfels. As QT has a goal of being the cheapest gas around, they have driven the prices down for all of us. Win for the consumer:-) QT also brags about their food that they cook in-house. I was skeptical of this because they are a convenience store. I was very pleasantly surprised when I purchased a pizza for the kids, and in having a small piece, found their pizza to be better than most of the home delivery pizza folks that you see advertised on TV. Also, living in the covid times, I was happy to see that they limit capacity, require masks on employees and customers, and have hand sanitizer all over the store. On top of that, they seem to have hired the most friendly help in the area. Will I return? Most definitely!
