I loved that they kept the bicycle-themed decor- it's a charming tribute to its history. There's a good amount of parking on the right side of the building, though it can get pretty busy, so just a heads up! Here's what my friends and I ordered: Sidewalk Surfer Just FYI, this is only available on Fridays and Saturdays! You can tell all the ingredients are fresh, but I do wish the portion size was a bit larger. That said, the masa cake was unique, so I'm glad I got to try it. Death Grip If you're craving something sweet and savory, this is the one. It tastes like a donut sandwich with deep-fried brioche bread and a side of jam (which has a bit of a kick!) It's definitely on the heavier side but flavorful! Peddler If you're in the mood for something lighter, I'd recommend the Peddler. It's a more refreshing option compared to the Deathgrip. The food took a little while to come out, but our server was incredibly kind and welcoming. She checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu the next time I'm in Brownwood!

We've dined at Station for several months now, so this review is not only for our experience today…read more(small business Saturday 2025), but also for the dozen or so prior visits. We are always impressed with the level of service and the quality of the food. The fresh ingredients and the care given to the presentation of each dish leaves us with feeling of satisfaction beyond the food itself. What Wayne and Crystal have done with the renovations and the attention to detail in the dining room is nothing short of amazing. It is relaxing and vibrant at the same time, a welcome addition to the dining experience in Brownwood.

The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better. It's become a tradition for us, and it never disappoints. If you're anywhere near Brownwood, it's definitely worth pulling off the road for.

The Turtle is truly exceptional--easily one of the finest dining experiences you will find anywhere…read morein Texas, not just Brownwood. Mary has built something very special here. The food is world-class: thoughtfully conceived, beautifully executed, and consistently excellent. You would normally have to travel to Austin, Dallas, or Houston to find a restaurant of this caliber--and pay significantly more. The fact that Mary delivers this level of quality here, and does so consistently, is remarkable. Everything is cooked to order, exactly as it should be in a serious kitchen. This is not fast, mass-produced food--and that's the point. If you value freshness, precision, and quality, The Turtle delivers every time. The bar is equally outstanding, and one of my favorite places to sit and dine. This is an ideal place for date nights or when hosting out-of-town guests you truly want to impress. The Turtle impressed my hardest-to-please food critic, which says everything. For me, it has become a regular favorite--one of Brownwood's absolute treasures. Go for the food. Stay for the ambience. #thebar

The last time we were here was probably over a year ago and we decided we wouldn't come back…read more Unfortunately, a good friend who is on temporary diet restrictions wanted to go, so we did. The dill pickle lemonade was surprisingly good! But... The reason we stopped coming was the shockingly minimal amount of meat on the sandwiches, and the high prices for meat that can't even cover the bread. It hasn't changed, I can't believe they are still in business, this is the same reason we stopped going to (the now closed) Schlotsky's). The amount of ham on those sandwiches seem to be ok, but... I order a 1/2 and 1/2 with a garlic steak and a "bbq" honey pork. The tiny slivers of meat that were there were not appealing at all, they were both the same odd color of grey, and again, couldn't even cover the bread. The flavor (like the meat) was almost non existent. I couldn't even tell which was which... I literally used about six napkins throughout the course of 2 sandwich halves?? What was leaking out? It wasn't water? As I longingly gazed out the window at Chick Fil A I lamented the loss of $35 for sandwiches and drinks for 2 people. So long McAllisters, you blew it for good this time.

Commongrounds is the only coffee shop (that I know of) in Brownwood/Early besides Starbucks and unfortunately, the coffee here is not my favorite- I've tried their coffee 3 or 4 times and it wasn't for me. I feel like the coffee here tastes a little watered down and I don't get the roasted coffee bean flavor that I crave. As for the food here, it's a hit or miss. I tried their BLT sandwich but I would personally skip it. The bacon was too crunchy and hard (it reminded me of those bacon bits that you put on top of salads). If that's your thing, go for it but it was personally not for me. Something I thoroughly enjoyed from their food menu was their breakfast burritos. I've tried their green chile chicken w/avcado burrito as well as their brisket burritos and they were both delicious! And when you add their homemade red and/or green sauce, it's even better. That being said, I tried their 'bowl' version and it's just the filling of the burrito without the tortilla andI didn't think it was worth it. Overall, Comongrounds Coffee is a great spot to catch up with friends or get some work done (they have outlets towards the back as well as wifi). Not to mention, the workers there are friendly and helpful! If you visit, I highly recommend getting their breakfast burritos!
