Today, I find myself in downtown Nacogdoches looking for a place to eat an early lunch. My first choice had a mechanical issue, so they were closed for the day. I stumbled on Old Towne General Store on the Square. If you have never been to downtown Nacogdoches, you’re truly missing out.
You walk into a revived old building with little trinkets in the front like candles, jarred goods, and t-shirts. The deli is in the back of the building, and you can smell the baked potatoes as you walk up. There is a glass cold case with sweet temptations, and a cauldron of chili crying out to you.
Choose from the menu on the wall. Your choices range from stuffed spuds, soups, salads, and sandwiches. Today, I try the grilled pimento cheese sandwich on my choice of bread- sour dough.
The panini like sandwich comes out with a pickle spear. First off, the bread doesn’t taste like sourdough, but more like a honey wheat- it is sweet not sour like sourdough. The pimiento cheese is strong on the mayo and lacking pimentos, but it has a nice blend of cheeses. Overall, it is pretty good, but not the best! The pickle spear is awesome. It has a nice dill taste with a peppery kick. It actually tastes like it is home made.
To top off the lunch, I go back for a sweet. I grab a chocolate chip and peanut butter cookie to go. I was extremely disappointed in the cookies- they were hard and tasted old. Save your money, and skip the cookies.
Overall, I liked Old Towne General Store. It is an eclectic mix of tattoos and sorority girl. It would be a great place to meet up before heading out to the numerous shops on the square. Check it out if you get a chance.
