    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!

    My first time ever rating this place so low. What happened here guys?! We drove here Monday March…read more09, 2026 around 1pm and ordered bbq sandwhich, and french fries. We immediately took our food the car to eat and the food was not as good as it once was. The fries were cold and stale. Look ok if you're crunched on time the company needs to order thinner fries like McDonald's. The bbq sandwhich was tough and dry, and it was a Tx toast style bun instead of a hamburger style bun. The young lady at the gift shop didn't acknowledge me even after I greeted her first. The young ladies behind the bakery counter were just the same. The only people that acknowledged us first were the older folks behind the food counter. Just to show there's some missed training opportunities across the board. I'm stopping by ina couple of days and I hope to see some changes

    I've driven by Prasek's many times, but until today had never stopped!…read moreWow!! Easy parking and when you open the doors, you have so many choices. It has the feel of an old time country store that has just what you need. I tried the sausage, cheese and jalapeño kolache along with a ham, cheese and jalapeño kolache. I can tell you, they are the Best!! I'm glad I don't drive by this place daily, I would get one every day! The service was outstanding! They answered my questions and were not pushy while I made my choices. Take time to walk around, there is something for everyone! Jerky Cookies Candy Steaks Sausage ......... Just a side note, they have great ICE too! When driving down 59 outside of El Campo, Texas, slow down and stop at Prasek's. Go get Full
