I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Alexander and ordered three sausage wraps to go. He had my wraps ready to go in short order - great service. Two of them didn't make it home the third one I reluctantly saved for my wife lol. The sausage was very good and I highly recommend Alexander's BBQ should you be in the area.

Then we had to deal with the wonderful smell for the hour-long ride home. Service was very fast, as there wasn't a line on Wednesday. Of course, everything was very tasty. However, IMO, everything was overpriced. Seriously, about $9 for maybe a pound of potato salad or slaw or beans and $34 a pound for the meat. Yes, I'm aware of yield... and that the price of beef has risen a lot. Whatever the market will bear, I guess, but this isn't something I'd do on a regular basis.

This place is SO awesome, definitely worth at least stopping by and checking out…read more My partner and I were looking for a spot for him to grab a bite to eat on our way to our cabin. Just happened yo stumble upon The Gas Station and decided to check it out. If you love horror films, you'll dig this place. They have so many cool things inside. Tons of rad horror toys and posters and just stuff! I had so much fun just checking everything out. We were quick to find out that it was also one of the filming locations of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The gentleman at the counter was so enthusiastic and informative! It was awesome hearing him geek out over stuff with my boyfriend. After we geeked out over everything, we ordered a brisket plate with a side of coleslaw and beans. Food came out pretty fast. They don't have a dining area inside, but out back they have some picnic tables. He dug into his plate on site. Everything was pretty darn good, especially for a place called 'The Gas Station' hah. Recommend checking out this spot whether you looking for a bite or looking for some cool horror stuff.

"STEAKHOUSE GARLIC RIBEYE SANDWICH" ROCKS -…read more On our return home from our Cruise, we stopped in Bastrop at Arby's (711 TX-71) for a bite to eat (as if we didn't eat enough on the cruise). They are advertising a new "Ribeye Steak" Sandwich and that's what we both ordered, 1-Combo & 1-Sandwich only (we share). Carmen took our order and soon it was ready. Arbys calls with the "Steakhouse Garlic Ribeye Sandwich"; Ribeye Steak, Big Eye Swiss Cheese, Crispy Onion Strings. Garlic Aloll Spread on a Toasted Bun - and it is just that. Arby says; "We Have The Meats", but now their Meats are on Our Sandwiches and there is a Lot of Meats on this Huge Tasty Ribeye Sandwich. My Wife and I both LOVE this Sandwich. Very Tenderliciously Tasty with just the right amount of Cheese and Spread makes it One Great Combination. Their Curley Fries are also Very Crisp with just the right Crunch. We don't have an Arby's in San Angelo and have been informing Arby's about that for some time now. So, Arby's, if you are seeing this - We Need An Arby's In San Angelo, Texas - PLEASE. Check one out near you and you will enjoy whatever Sandwich you order and please tell them to get an Arby's in San Angelo, Texas so my Wife and I can enjoy one near us. My Baby and I continued on the way home in San Angelo, Texas, where there are No Arby's for us to enjoy. How Sad --- (hint-hint-hint)

Extremely disappointing experience. We joined the waitlist and waited a long time, only to be…read moredropped from the list as we were literally pulling into the parking lot. After speaking with staff, we were told to rejoin the waitlist and that the estimated wait would be only 10-15 minutes. After waiting another 40 minutes, we checked in again and were told we were still 8th in line, with no clear explanation of when we would be seated. At that point, we decided to leave without ever getting a table. To make matters worse, as we were driving away, we received a text message saying our table was ready. The waitlist system and communication were clearly not being managed accurately, which resulted in a frustrating waste of time. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we won't be returning.

I loved the Power Breakfast Bowl. I would totally order that again. It exceeded all my…read moreexpectations. I would never have thought to have quinoa for breakfast but now I'm a believer. The sausage was amazing, as were the Crimini mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes (where were reconstituted for a perfect texture). The kale was young and very fresh, and the eggs were cooked exalty how I like them. They really nailed this dish. My wife felt the pile of ham that came on the Classic Benedict was really salty and didn't think the Ciabatta was an apt replacement for an English muffin. But the egg was cooked perfectly and the side of country potatoes were spot on. My son had the Steak and Queso Hash and said it was great. And as hungry as he was, he took some of it home for later. For beverages, we tried the coffee and the Bloody Mary, and both were extremely good. The Bloody Mary is $9.25 but worth it. It's tasty; it's large; and it comes with a slice of their Million Dollar Bacon, which is intentionally not crispy but has a wonderful texture and sweet-n-spicy flavor coming from black pepper, cayenne, brown sugar and syrup. There's often a wait for a table and it took awhile for our server to arrive once we were seated but he provided top notch service, for sure! My wife especially loved the ambiance. It was bright and cheerful, and the large windows on the far side is the bar were open, which reminded us of Orange County. I don't know how they managed to pull that off on a humid, ninety degree afternoon but they did. We'll definitely return. Perhaps for a weekday breakfast when there isn't apt to be a wait.
