Friendly folk - sure thing, no one's in a hurry, it's your chance to slow down a bit & relax. Brayden (sp?) was repeatedly on top of it all, excellent level of service. Great menu offering - I get food here that I don't normally order at home. They also work well with small-to-large parties, just tell them what you need in advance & they will work it out with you.

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!

They make you feel like you're at home - or their home - even though you're in a happening spot in town. The interior feels like a modern pub - no frills, but plenty of space.

I definitely wouldn't turn down the opportunity to eat here again!

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.

We opted for their flatbread style pizzas. She got a loaded out meat pizza and loved it. I had their Blackberry & Brie pizza which was absolutely bananas! The flavor combo was pure genius. Their drinks were equally delicious and for the atmosphere, service and food quality the price was on point. Looking forward to my next visit.
