I have been to cigar lounges around the country and this easily ranks among the top. Talk about a…read morehidden gem in a small town in Central Texas. First off, the lounge area is massive, with 4 HDTVs, leather couches and chairs to easily seat 30, plus several high-top tables and a coffee counter area with leather high-backs. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing with the ability to enjoy a cigar and watch the game or have a conversation. The store side features a nice selection of tobacco products and accoutrements for cigars and pipes. Most impressive is the gigantic walk-in humidor with a premium cigar selection rivaling big-city stores in NY and DC. The major difference is the price point, which is so low I am buying boxes for friends who work in cigar stores in the northeastern US! Even though I had never been here before I was greeted with famed Texas hospitality and met some wonderful people, both staff and regulars alike. The one downside is that they do not sell alcohol, though you are encouraged to bring your own and they will provide glasses, ice and anything else you may need. They also offer a very nice boutique coffee selection. If you are anywhere in the area, make a trip up here. You will be more than glad you did!

I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, and my friends ordered the Chicken Parmesan and the ribeye steak. They and the bread were all delicious, cheap (especially compared to austin!), and came in ample portions. This was probably one of of my favorite meals in a while, and I wasn't expecting it from a small town restaurant next to my hotel. The service was also great with an extremely friendly staff! The only real downside is that they don't serve alcohol, but they are BYOB. They do have wine glasses and a corkscrew, so make sure to grab a bottle of wine beforehand!

The beef was cooked perfectly, and the combination of beer-braised onions and grilled poblanos on jalapeño sourdough brought everything together with incredible flavor. You can tell there's real thought put into the menu. It has that perfect country feel - laid back, comfortable, and the kind of place you can bring family or meet up with friends. Great food, good drinks, and a spot that feels like it belongs in the community. Highly recommend!

On a slow evening with no event on the calendar, 1859 is still open, still serving, and still delivering. That kind of consistency is genuinely rare in Salado, and anyone who lives here knows it. They've recently added a full menu, and the food is excellent -- not bar-food excellent. Actually excellent. These owners put real time and resources into keeping this business worth coming back to. It shows. Highly recommended.
