This used to be a desirable stop for us on regular trips passing through Hallettsville. Apparently,…read morethere has been an ownership/management change in the last year or so and the negative changes are obvious. First of all, they closed the classic diner and sold out to a Whataburger franchise. Second of all, we used to enjoy stopping at Rowdy's Rest Stop for the dogs, but what used to be a nice, grassy area is overgrown with weeds. They used to maintain a deer feeder in the dog rest area and we enjoyed seeing the deer. It is still a convenient place to stop for fuel, but it is NOT AS NICE as it was before.

I will tell you BEWARE if you purchase deli meat or cheese. THEY DO NOT REMOVE THE CLEAR PLASTIC BEFORE THEY SLICE IT. The result is, you end up with a stack of product that has shreds of plastic wrapping all in it. It's clear so it is hard to see. You end up eating some of it. I have complained to management about this and still the employees just ignore it. I can't tell you how pissed I am about this. I will not shop there anymore.

I always make it a point to stop and do all of my grocery shopping for the weekend when we go to the ranch that we use as a deer lease and my family has been going there since I was a small child. I'm now 43 and my family has literally literally been on the same lease since before I was born so we have all had the chance to try out other local stores in the area and it's your best friend when it comes to one stop shopping for not only groceries and fuel but for hunting and fishing needs as well (deer corn, lures and line, etc...) so to be in business for that long you can be assured they are doing something right! It's more than just a ritual for every time that I go through Halletsville, it's an institution in an of itself!

Reminds me of Panera bread except local. The lunch specials are a STEAL - it comes with a drink and side salad or fruit salad. I thought the drink was going to be a small cup but it was HUGE. I wish the paninis had more substance but I loved the flavors (something about basil pesto that I really love too). Ingredients also tasted fresh and we didn't wait too long for it all to come out. If anyone needs to make a pit stop, I would recommend this place.

While in the area, for work, I decided to stop in to Tillie's Cafe for an early lunch and to grab…read morean iced coffee. I found this spot on Yelp and was super pleased with the service, the selection, the strong WiFi, the decor, and the overall vibes here that was super welcoming. Parking was easy off the street and there was plenty of other storefronts to wander & window shop as I made my way to Tillie's. This whole area is great so anywhere you park is going to be close. For my coffee I really enjoyed the iced Golden Ticket coffee I got that included a caramel and a hazelnut flavor with a nice house made cream added to the top. It was so tasty! For food it was hard to choose. Everything from "brekkie", or breakfast, to lunch looked so good as listed on their menu. I ended up with one of their "Handhelds" of the Besto Pesto that included sliced turkey, homemade pesto (nut-free too!), mayo, and some delicious house made pickles. This sando came with a side of house made chips as well and was the portion for my lunch. Since I was driving back to Austin (an hour+ away) I decided to get through all of what was on my plate and not take any leftovers home but I could've!!! I really loved their decor and the long large and beautiful wooden community table they had near the back of the cafe. I saw a whole group of women (more than 6 of them!) gathered around, chatting, and having tea. I assumed they were locals because like them, I would be hanging out here all day with my laptop and/or friends all day if I could. Highly recommend coming in and checking out what you can find to have while here. From coffees, breakfast, lunch, and even refreshing tasty sparkling drinks you will find something you want to have and probably keep coming back for in the future. When I am in the area again, this will definitely be part of my plans in stopping into and eating at again.

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!
