It's right next door to where the address on the Yelp Page will take you, but it is formerly the "Bakeshop." The staff mentioned to us the former building/house was being renovated to become an AirBnB or something. We were looking forward to patio seating given we had our pup with us, but the restaurant didn't have any, so we opted for drive-thru. The restaurant itself has a small parking lot. The woman who took our order was very kind and informative, as mentioned previously. I ordered an "Iced Latte with White Chocolate" and ordered the "Breakfast Burrito," which contained sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The latte was good, creamy and sweet with the WC flavoring. The burrito was also good, not amazing, but good! I should have ordered 2 of them, it wasn't too big, so keep that in mind. The cheese was melted inside and the sausage was super flavorful. There was a section of my burrito in which the sausage was actually cold, which took me by surprise, but other than that it was good. Pricing was decent for what we ordered. We would come back if we were driving through again!!

We split the sandwich and some chips and got a bag of the oatmeal raisin cookies to go. Let's talk about this sandwich shall we??? OH, I will be chasing this club sandwich "high" for many a day. I don't know if they cure the meats in house or what, but every ingredient shined. And not least of which was the grilled bread - it was such a perfect foil for the meats. (and I loved that this sandwich let its bread shine on the outside and there was no pesky middle piece of bread like traditional club sandwiches. YUM - I will happily go back here! The decor was very "Texan" too, It is less than a block off the main square and is only barely renovated to fit the new use.

He recommended the two meat plate with sliced beef, sausage, baked beans, and potato salad. It was served with their regular bbq sauce and sweet & spicy. I preferred the sweet & spicy, but they were both delicious on these perfectly cooked meats. The sliced beef literally held together for dipping yet fell apart in your mouth. It was so tender and the flavor was exactly what I came searching for. I ate at one of the three picnic tables they've got outside. Someone overheard me say I was from out of town, asked how I found this local secret, and reaffirmed that it was the best in town. Well it sure was the best I've ever had!

Is this up there with the great bbq places in the state? No. It's not trying to be. Hint hint daynes. Its a cafeteria style, you pick your meal, you go down the line, pick you sides and sauces..and your done. We had the three meat plate, and brisket sandwich plate. The meats on the plate were brisket, jalapeño sausage, and turkey. The sides on both plates were spicy pinto beans, Mac, and green beans. We had regular and spicy bbq. All the meats were good to great. The brisket was good, but missing that bark we like. The turkey was not dry. The best thing here, is when they say spicy, they mean spicy. Like runny nose spicy. Man it was good. The spicy bbq sauce was especially great. So just be careful because the beans were bordering on too spicy. The sausage was what daynes wished it could be. I know I keep ragging on daynes, but come here first, then go there and tell me if daynes belongs on any top list! I would pick still smoking any day! The Mac was delicious. The green beans were out of this world. Why not a 5? Well let's be honest, once you tried the true best in the state, it's hard to live up to it! As great as this place is, it's not snows or franklins or burnt bean epic. We still will definitely stop by when travel again!

The kolaches are an incredible value -- they taste amazing and are somehow still super affordable. I always get a mix of sweet and savory, because skipping either would be a mistake. For sweet, I love the cream cheese, apple, and cherry. For savory, you can't go wrong with the sausage kolaches. Pro tip: if you ask, they'll warm them up for you, which makes them even better. Even when the line wraps around this legendary little store, the service is impressively fast. The line moves quickly, so you're never waiting as long as it looks. These are easily the best kolaches I've had in Texas so far, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Expect many more future stops from me.
