After a miserable experience up the road in Henderson where we left foodless and very annoyed, we are so happy! There truly is a silver lining to every cloud, except in the case of Storm's Drive-In, it's golden. We are heading back home from family Thanksgiving in Dallas, and we're very hungry. Storm's hit the spot! For a fast food drive-in, they are the very best. The place was packed on this Saturday night, but they took our order immediately when we hit the button. We ordered a couple of big burgers, fries, fried mushrooms and a chocolate malt. I had a sourdough burger and my husband had a Storm's special with everything. The burgers were very fresh and juicy. You'll need plenty of napkins, which they included without us having to ask. All the sides were hot and tasty. The fried mushrooms were really good, and seem to me have to have been battered and fried there rather than from a frozen source. The onion rings and the fries also seem to have been made there on the spot, because they were very very good. I wish I would have taken more pictures of the place because as we drove out I noticed an outside seeing area that was just awesome looking. The landscaping around it was really creative and the place was just amazing. If you're driving 281 through Lampasas it is well worth the stop. Save your appetite! I just now read the history that I couldn't see while in the car. I was right about the fries, mushrooms and onion rings being made on-site! You could taste it.

French Fries!!!

The burgers were great! The nachos did lack a LOT of cheese. The outdoor seating was unsanitary and the service was rude. The best thing here is definitely their burgers!!! The bathrooms are disgusting.

Visiting the town of Lampasas has been my dream for a long time (only heard about it recently), so I'm glad I was able to go to there and experience Storm's. I don't know why it's so popular as it is a very normal kind of burger place. I enjoyed their burger and sweet potato fries.

I was driving by here and stopped because I saw the reviews. This place is a solid 4! I was very impressed with how fast this place was! As usual, I have to order a lot of items because I'm never in this area. Everything was great, but the vanilla shake was AMAZING! Super flavorful and tasty. I was very pleased with my cheeseburger! All of the French fries, fried cheese sticks, and onion rights were piping hot! It can't get any better than this! The hotdog was okay. It was as expected. Great food! Great service!

Typical fried fast food. The service tonight was why this place is getting the rating it's getting. Two other cars with larger orders parked after me and got their food and left before me. Try Sonic or McDonald's down the road for quicker service. Nothing too special or unique.

Pretty average food, longest wait time over 40 minutes for food. Workers were not polite at all. Don't recommend if you want fast food.

A warning: If you eat Weinerschnitzel in Vienna, you will be ruined for life on most of the…read moreversions you find elsewhere. But I was stupid, and hungry, and ordered what looked like the specialty of the house at Eve's Café. In fact, it looked like what they called a Wienerschnitzel was the basis for all sorts of schnitzel variations with different toppings and gravy. That should've been an extra warning for me. To be fair, the description on the menu said that what you would get was a pork chop, and that is what I got. It was a little bit tough, which I suspected in advance, watching the people at the next table, sewing on theirs. The breading was weird in a way that's hard to describe. It was somewhat over-seasoned, a little bit hard, and left an aftertaste that was slightly chemical. An even worse sin by Texas standards, it was small, as in the recommended meat portion size for healthy eating, about the size of my hand, minus the fingers. My side of onion rings had the same breading. And even though I am generally a gravy hog, I didn't especially care for the brown gravy that came with my meal. The German dill salad probably had some dill in it somewhere, but it was all drowned in so much mayonnaise-based dressing, I couldn't really taste it, and the whole thing turned into soup before I finished. This all really sounds terrible, but it wasn't actually terrible. I ate all of it except for the soupy salad, but it just never rose beyond competent, when I had gotten my hopes up for some good German food. As I looked around at what others were eating, I really wished I had ordered one of the fabulous-looking sandwiches, burgers, or bratwurst. Those are harder to mess up. The restaurant itself has a nice location on the Square in Lampasas, and a charming vibe. The Thursday lunch crowd was good sized so it looks like a popular local place. The service was very friendly and pretty quick--maybe little TOO quick, as if my schnitzel might've been waiting for me under a heat lamp. Once I'd finished, I was still a little hungry, and considered ordering a slice of their Black Forest Cake. But I have had Black Forest Cake in Bavaria, and I simply couldn't bear another disappointment.

I decided to follow the exact same footsteps as they did in the Episode that Lampasas, TX was featured. I found myself at this charming, beautiful family owned restaurant. What an amazing find. The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor area that reminds you of the outdoor areas of resorts in Mexico. The food is fresh, light, great value and absolutely Delicious! The service from the time I walked in to the time I left was top notch. Everyone was very friendly and I love how when a local came in, they were welcomed as family and if you were new to their establishment, they took the time to greet, welcome you, talk about their menu and gave you suggestions. I had a Mango Winerita (they can only serve beer and wine since they're close to a school and a church) which was super refreshing. The usual chips and salsa came to the table. The salsa had a nice flavor and just the right amount of heat... That your taste buds response to but than the heat goes away. The Queso was liquid gold... Smooth and cheesy... Perfect consistency that coats your chips but doesn't drip all over the place. I was treated to a different salsa that isn't normally brought to the table unless you asked for it. Woww!! Chunky with a nice roundness of smokey flavor, freshness and again the perfect touch of heat. The Jalapeno Fried Chips are beyond words... Thinly sliced, fried golden perfection with a Ranch Dipping Sauce to accommodate them. I couldn't stop eating them! So addictive. Than my main course... The Mexican Steak plate. Thinly sliced perfectly tender cooked meat with onions, peppers and tomatoes tossed all together. Rice and beans rounded off the plate perfectly. Everything was cooked right, everything was fresh and surprising light. The portions are generous and the prices are extremely reasonable. It was a perfect way to end my Day Trip in Lampasas. I look forward to going there again and exploring more of their menu. If you are from that area and have never been... Go support your local businesses! If you are driving through and on your way to Austin, stop there to fill your tummy... You will not be disappointed. Last but not least... It is an all CASH only restaurant. They do have an ATM inside. This restaurant is definitely worth another road trip!

We weren't the only ones because the parking lot was to capacity when we arrived. Thankfully they have a large, spacious, and clean lobby. We ordered our hot food and admittedly it did take awhile to get served... turns out they were having drive-thru folks pull through and park to wait for their hot food orders to keep up with customers just ordering ice cream products, thus part of why the parking lot was so full. But anyway, the hot food was HOT when it came out and we happily snarfed it all down, then ordered a blizzard after. Got the seasonal peppermint hot cocoa. Sooo freakin' tasty. I will say the toilets in this joint are more like water closets, LOL. Tiny! That's fine for a tiny fella like me but a larger person would probably feel pretty claustrophobic in there. This location is right beside the river and bridge, so if you want you can grab a yummy dessert and take a nice stroll while you enjoy it!

I ordered four steak finger baskets with a side of gravy and a couple of waters and was charged $0.75 per water. Then I find out that if I had ordered the combo, it would have only been $0.53 more and I would have gotten more food. I didn't want fries or a soda, yet I'm basically punished for ordering less. This pricing makes no sense and feels like a complete rip-off. Definitely not worth it.
