"Food was not to my expectations. Second time I've been here. First time, ordered a cheeseburger, it was good. Second stop, was passing thru from Houston, we stopped here for lunch. The chicken fried chicken was not good it was not (dry fried) a deep breaded fried. The gravy appears to have been made of flour/water rather than flour/milk. Sort of watery and tasteless. Side portions were huge, grilled veggies were ok. I would patronize restaurant again but be more selective on my menu options."

"Cute little pizza and ice cream shop. Little being the operative word. Crowded and one teeny unisex (yuck) bathroom which had a continuous line. My sis and I were looking for quick scoop of ice cream on our way back to Austin. There 's an ice cream and fudge shop in the back of the business with several flavors of Blue Bell ice cream. Pizza looked good but wouldn 't go again due to the location (hard and dangerous to get back onto 290 without a light) but the good ole folks of Giddings can knock themselves out there."

"We have been dining at this restaurant for as long as I can remember. The service is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. They also have a free ice cream machine and several dessert options. The chocolate cake is exceptional and is my daughter's favorite. It's a great family restaurant. Today, my daughter and I ordered the fajitas for two, and we even had leftovers! As for parking, there's plenty available, with handicap spots right in front. It's definitely a kid-friendly place!"

"great place to keep past for a delicious Mexican bite. daily fresh food. the customer service is the best. place is always clean. individual quiet space available, very clean. except to order a line, but they are very fast. sitting in the interior and exterior. directly next to a main road. when they sit outside expect a lot of noise and dust."

"Being able to reccomend their sides desserts should tell you everything you need to know of our experience there. The pinto beans and the buttermilk pie were excellent, everything else was anywhere from poor to middlin' at best. Perhaps they just were having a bad day minding the pit?Orders were for a beef rib and 3 pork spareribs with potato salad and pinto bean sides, and the sliced brisket with mac cheese and pinto beans, as well as a slice of buttermilk pie to share.The beef rib was chewy and stringy but did have decently smoked flavor, the pork ribs were roughly the same, neither fell off the bone nor had a decent clean bite when eating. The sliced brisket (ordered marbled) was the best of the proteins, but even at that seemed average as far a juiciness and flavor. Overall the proteins in our opinion ranked 1.5/5 starsThe mac cheese apparently is made with American cheese powder to judge by the color of the sauce, and it appears the potato salad is bulk deli purchased. The pinto beans were wonderful and the butermilk pie was very tasty. On balance they earned 3.5/5 stars.Portions were fair and prices were decent as value for the money goes, but overall we felt for the total cost of just over $64 for lunch for 2 that we would have eaten better had we just gone to a chain retaurant such as Dickey's or Famous Dave's. Value-wise maybe 1/5 starsService was quick and friendly (5/5 stars) and we enjoyed the atmosphere overall(4/5 stars) so we will probably give them another try someday, in hopes that the meal quality being off on this visit was an outlier."
