We get there relaxed & ready to eat, mind you we got there an hour before they close, and my little happy self smiled at the girl at the register & she gives me a big ole stank face I was like ok long day huh. She begins to take our order & as soon as she picks up the ribs and places it on the cutting board she gets a call & answers it on the spot "WHAT?!" I understand people have bad days but that just looks bad on business. If you're reading this girl with pink stripes in her hair & pink nails, God bless you. The food was smack, fix up them attitudes & you'll get that 5 star

We immediately took our food the car to eat and the food was not as good as it once was. The fries were cold and stale. Look ok if you're crunched on time the company needs to order thinner fries like McDonald's. The bbq sandwhich was tough and dry, and it was a Tx toast style bun instead of a hamburger style bun. The young lady at the gift shop didn't acknowledge me even after I greeted her first. The young ladies behind the bakery counter were just the same. The only people that acknowledged us first were the older folks behind the food counter. Just to show there's some missed training opportunities across the board. I'm stopping by ina couple of days and I hope to see some changes

It has the feel of an old time country store that has just what you need. I tried the sausage, cheese and jalapeño kolache along with a ham, cheese and jalapeño kolache. I can tell you, they are the Best!! I'm glad I don't drive by this place daily, I would get one every day! The service was outstanding! They answered my questions and were not pushy while I made my choices. Take time to walk around, there is something for everyone! Jerky Cookies Candy Steaks Sausage ......... Just a side note, they have great ICE too! When driving down 59 outside of El Campo, Texas, slow down and stop at Prasek's. Go get Full

A Hillje tradition!

There was a guy behind the bar that could have said that but he just looked at us and sat down in front of the bar. Besides that, everything else went well. Most of the staff are young. Our server took our order and the food came out at a decent time. I tried their Chicken Spaghetti and it came with a side salad. The spaghetti & sauce was nicely seasoned, I'm just not too sure about whether they used fresh chicken breast or canned ones. I was curious about that. Other than that everything was fine.
