"This gas station bakery has a little bit of everything. It's kind of like a Buc ees but it's not THAT great. It's across the hwy from the Czech Stop Shell station that has been at exit 353 for longer than I can remember. I almost felt like a traitor stopping at this location bc I have faithfully stopped at Czech Stop for about 15 years but we were heading south we thought we'd check this place out. It has a lot of random things to look at if you want to shop. Tons of college themed gifts, pjs, shirts, socks, etc. my niece likes the slushes. They only have two flavors but she loved hers. Green apple blue razz . The restrooms are smaller than Buc ees but a good size. The water pressure was a trickle though. It wasn't just one faucet either. All of the faucets barely had any water pressure. So, once you found a soap dispenser that actually had soap it took a while to get your hands washed. I know from the price of everything in this store that they can afford to turn up the water. The paintings on the wall by the restroom are cute, yet overpriced. I don't see a lot of people buying overpriced wall art at gas stations . To me, this was Slovaceks trying to be like Buc ees bc that's what they do. Paintings photos are for sale all over the walls by the restrooms. As we stood in the long line to order kolaches I noticed only one young man was smiling friendly. As we approached, we got lucky, we got the friendly guy! Gavin greeted us w a smile asked how he could help us. Gavin was SO NICE! As we chose each item he asked if we'd like him to heat it up for us. When we got to the Nutella dessert my nieces were eyeing the 2 in front. We didn't want to be a pain but he overheard us said he didn't mind. He pulled out the tray grabbed them for us. His coworker, a heavy set Hispanic kid w longer hair asked why he was doing that in an irritated voice Gavin said because I'm getting the ones they wanted for them . Perfect example of good customer service versus lazy customer service. It's so rare that anyone these days wants to go the extra mile but Gavin did something extra just to be nice. It's the little things that mean a lot to people. It put a smile on the girls faces in turn made me happy. Therefore, I'm writing a review mainly to say that GAVIN is a 5 STAR employee!!! I hope that he is acknowledged for going above beyond. It wasn't just that he grabbed the kolaches we wanted. He greeted us as we walked up when the other employees just looked at the people in line said next . Gavin was friendly, he smiled! These employees were all young you can tell which ones were miserable. I really appreciate being helped by someone who is kind. We will be back, even though the line was long the prices were a bit overpriced simply bc Gavin's kindness left a lasting impression on us!!! Kindness goes a long way. Hopefully the water pressure in the restroom is resolved or changed eventually the egg salad sandwich bread isn't hard next time. My niece loved the actual egg salad though It cost too much to be on hard bread."

"Stopped for lunch on our way to Ft Worth on a Wednesday in March. A small 'mom pop ' cafe reminiscent of other small town Texas cafes. Everything is made from scratch each morning. They use their grandmother 's original recipes. They serve lunch specials during the week. They have an extensive dessert menu. We didn 't check their menu instead we went with the specials. The dining room was full of dinners enjoying their lunch. My husband and I had roast beef, sweet potatoes and green beans. For dessert, I chose buttermilk pie. Wow, tasted like my grandmother 's. If you demand glitz and glamour, this is not your place. However, if you enjoy a warm and friendly place that serves good food at a very reasonable price you will enjoy Czech-American Restaurant."

"This place was on my list to try after a WHILE — always see signs when we withdraw for the Czech stop, but usually have no time for a full meal. Finally, on the recommendation of a friend, it visited her cinnamon rolls. At least we knew that we were blown away, not only by their cinnamon rolls, but by their CZECH PIZZA! I speak Sauerkraut, mustard, sausage and Cheddar on delicious crust. Mmmmm! Cinnamon roll was of course fantastic and they had choices! Will definitely be back."

"Always loved this Subway. The teenager worker was extremely rude. I asked what time they closed. Worker replied with hours are right there on the window then he said I can also go online and see the hours. Then I gave him my bread preference, and he said what? Very rudely. At this point I didn't even want to stay. Husband had already ordered. I can't see well so I was trying to read menu. I was rudely rushed. $27.00 for bad service! Then as we sat down, the worker came from the back with pizza in hand and sat down for his break. I'm assuming his reason for the rude rush. Lady comes in he never acknowledged her, no other worker up front, finally someone helps her. Kid continues to munch and be on his phone. I hope he enjoyed his break. What a rude worker. I don't even want to go back there, and this place is clean and taken care of, but they need to rethink who they hire. Despicable and rude."

"Stopped in on our way home from Mom and Dad's. This is a location we like to stop at. Looks can be deceiving so don't let it keep you from stopping in. Food is always hot, fresh and cooked to perfection. Employees were friendly, we've never had any issues, but there was no above and beyond service this visit. They were really busy and you could tell they were barely keeping up. We took our meal to go, so we wouldn't lose time on the road (heading south). Wife and I both had the traditional two piece chicken meal combos. They keep it simple. It's all mixed. I wanted all white meat and the wife wanted all dark. Well they only had one of the pieces I wanted so I had to settle for one dark and one white. Wife got what she wanted. I took what they had caused they were low on cooked chicken anyway and didn't want to wait. Meal came with a side and drink. Wife had fries and I had Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious. Golden Brown and mouth burning hot. Sorry I didn't get pics this round, chowed down on the road and we forgot. We will get some next time. But this is not a bad stop. Definitely be back when close by"
