It was all great and the staff was so sweet. Out girls picked out ornaments and broke one and they were really sweet about it and gave her another one and didn't make us pay for the broken one. The chicken salad sandwich was really fresh and good and our kids got the hot dogs which I think they make from scratch and were awesome. The bread seemed home made too... I had a bite and I think that's the best hot dog I've ever had.

What a pleasant surprise it was to find this lovely casual restaurant tucked inside what was once…read morean old home and now part of a garden supply nursery and marketplace. We had a group of 8 adults who had just completed touring 2 of the Painted Churches, in and around Schulenburg. While our tour guide greeted several servers as we entered like old friends, I don't think that was the cause of their friendliness to our group as a whole, I saw them happily greeting everyone and providing excellent service. Our happy server quickly took drink orders, you can tell when a server is confident in her job and knows the routines as she never wrote anything down but when she returned with drinks, the orders were all correct. She then took orders for lunch, we had a variety of offerings from the menu. I decided on the Tzatziki Salad, a nicely presented Greek style salad with grilled chicken breast slices and some tzatziki with pita points. Others around me had the Rueben and the grilled chicken salad and said everything was perfect. I also heard great things about the home made chicken salad and their hamburgers. And if you feel like your garden needs a bit more color, just step into the garden center after lunch and pick out some lovely plants to take home!

Dined here for lunch with my mom and our tour guide from the Chamber as a break in the middle of…read moreour day for the Painted Churches tour. I was pleasantly surprised at the absolutely amazing freshness and quality of the food and modern/light atmosphere of this place (a bit unexpected after a few lackluster food experiences in Schulenberg leading up to our lunch here). It was every bit at good as some of the cafes I've eaten in major cities (where there is heavy dining competition). Mom and I both ordered their delicious chicken salad sandwich, piled high (but not too thickly) with shredded chicken on perfectly baked, flaky (but not too flaky) croissant bread. The chicken salad was a perfect blend of seasonings with a few cranberries for a little sweetness. Divine! Each sandwich came with a side of crispy/perfect (seemingly handmade) chips. Our tour guide ordered a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich which she seemed to really enjoy as well, complete with perfectly buttered and crisp grilled sourdough bread. The atmosphere was very modern and new yet warm and dotted with beautiful antique pieces (be sure to check out the old buffet across from the bathroom doors, gorgeous!). And this place seemed packed with many locals in their brunch attire to enjoy the great food and great hospitality of the wait staff. Behind the restaurant, they also host a beautiful nursery where you can browse under the trees through their fairly extensive collection of plants (flowering and non flowering - we saw some variations of native flowering plants we've either never seen before or don't see often so my mom purchased a few for her garden!), chat with the very knowledgeable and friendly owner of the nursery, browse the little nursery gift shop full of unique and beautiful items, and even visit with the sweet "shop" kitties (who seem to like to hang out near the nursery gift shop entrance) if you wish. All in all, a very special experience at this gem in Schulenberg. We will definitely make this our number one stop for meals (and to buy more plants) in Schulenberg when we return!

The sandwich comes with a pickle spear and a bag of Lays. It was a good sandwich but quite a lot of bread on that roll. My husband ordered a half turkey sandwich and a cup of tomato basil soup. He liked the sandwich but the soup was thin and too sweet. The service was super fast. We had our food in about 5 minutes. The place was pretty cute and looked clean. They had fresh lemons out for your water if you like it. They have a Blue Bell ice cream counter if you need a little sweet to follow. I would return if we get back through town at meal time.

We ended up with a deli sandwich and a Caesar salad, both with a side cup of broccoli cheddar soup. Gal who took our order was very helpful when asked about menu items.

We will be back next time we head over to La Grange.

I loved the cheeseburger and fries. The fries are perfectly crispy and seasoned with salt and pepper. The burger buns definitely taste homemade (not sure if they are) and are so soft.

And like they rinsed all the flavor off with hot water. The tea, fries and potato salad were well above par. But i don't see how they sell a repeat burger. BTW the chocolate chunk cookie looked great but need to cook another 7-8 minutes.

We were so lucky to have been told about Mom's Front Porch by a local!! We were in town for a river…read morerace and needed to garb our racers something good and good for them! The fast options were slim and not appealing. Thank goodness we found this great spot downtown. The service is without question some of the best I have had in a long time. I explained what we needed and they went above and beyond to help us. We ordered a turkey sandwich, and they delivered! This is not just a couple slices of meat on some bread!! This is a SANDWICH!! It was big enough that our racer was full and ready to go but not too big he couldn't shove it in his mouth in record time. At the time of this review I am planning on going back in the morning to get 2 more sandwiches and deliver them in Cuero, which is the next fueling stop! I like the look, feel, and food and if yall are passing through stop and enjoy Mom's Front Porch! Next time I'm grabbing some ice cream!

There is no menu in the restaurant, they describe themselves as a "walking talking menu". You have the options of white or wheat bread, a variety of meats, and a few selection of toppings. I decided on a half chicken salad sandwich and it was very good. A generous helping of chicken salad on homemade white bread. I will probably be back tomorrow for lunch, and recommend this spot to anyone passing through Luling.

They were very welcoming and made our dog completely comfortable being there. If that wasn't enough the food, fried chicken and pork loin was delicious. It was Sunday so it's the only plate served but it's the only plate I'd order after having it. The fried chicken was one of the best I've had. I really enjoyed the old school feel and all of the antiques, not to mention the live music which made me feel at home. I loved this place and recommend anyone passing to stop and try it out.

The schnitzel was tasty and the crust was excellent, the sauerkraut balls were very tasty as well. Never had such a thing before, but I'm going to try to make them at home. The service was spot on and a side dish of history made it even better. When you visit, be sure to go upstairs to see the dance hall.

Reminds me of Panera bread except local. The lunch specials are a STEAL - it comes with a drink and side salad or fruit salad. I thought the drink was going to be a small cup but it was HUGE. I wish the paninis had more substance but I loved the flavors (something about basil pesto that I really love too). Ingredients also tasted fresh and we didn't wait too long for it all to come out. If anyone needs to make a pit stop, I would recommend this place.

The food tastes like it came straight out of a family kitchen--fresh, hearty, and downright delicious. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a hometown diner: locals chatting over coffee, a welcoming vibe the moment you walk in, and a staff that treats you like you've been coming there for years. Everyone is genuinely friendly, and it's clear this spot is a community favorite. One of the small town touches the place boasts is that it's connected to a boutique, so you can enjoy a great meal and then browse around a bit. Nestled in this little Texas town, Darlin's Diner just has that warm, welcoming feeling that makes you want to sit a little longer and come back again. Small town, big flavor, and even bigger hospitality. Highly recommend.

Even the cream filled donuts were delicious but the fruit and the cream cheese kolaches were the belle of the ball! Especially try the "flat" style cherry kolache, it comes with a sneaky/divine layer of cream cheese under the cherry filling that cuts the sweet a bit and perfectly compliments the pillowy sweet bread underneath. I cannot say enough good things! Staff was super friendly, they've got cold chocolate milk and other drinks inside a cooler near the cashier for purchase, some seating inside and some seating under the front porch outside. You see a lot of locals picking up their treats here so you know it's the best! A Schulenberg institution and definite gem...
