Scotty & Friends: Round Top

It is nearing that time of year, when the chaos comes to our neck of the woods- the Round Top Antique Fair.  If you have never been, one should truly experience the 25 plus miles of junk and treasures.  If antiques are not your thing, it’s a great time for people watching ranging from the Country Chic fashion show to just really bad drivers stopping in the middle of the road to admire our landscape.  But, I digress….

I’ve been craving breakfast food- crazy coming from the girl who despises eggs.  On this Sunday morning, we head down the road to Scotty & Friends in Round Top.  A large deck and a sprawling oak tree screams come drink wine under me, but today, it is breakfast not the breakfast of champions.

We enter inside only to be told to sit where ever we wanted, so we took our place on the front sun porch with a handful of other patrons.  Then, we waited, and waited, and waited.  We got to hear all about the lady from Katy and how she hates her sister in law- I wasn’t ease dropping- she was screaming across the main room in her whiskey cigarette laden voice.  We got to watch the wait staff stand around and around and around.  Finally, after 15 minutes of patience- as my husband reminded me, we were finally given menus, and our drink orders taken.  It wasn’t like they were busy or didn’t see us come in.  OK, so service is not their strong point. 

We placed our order- sausage &cheese omelet and a short stack with bacon- can you figure what I am eating. 

The omelet- well we were confused.  A sausage & cheese omelet usually has the sausage inside of the omelet not on top of it.  The sausage was not local, but typical frozen patty fare.  Why, when we live in the land of awesome sausage!  The cheese omelet was overall pretty decent per my husband- he's not a picky eater.  The toast was just typical toast with Land of Lake butter and Jelly Packets.  This is a pet peeve of mine- use real butter and real jelly for your country style breakfast! 

My pancakes were pretty good despite the black stuff on them.  The batter must have had or been cake mix because you could smell it.  The bacon was cold and old- keep it hot under a heat lamp at least.  Once again, the butter was Land of Lake packets, but the syrup was at least in a container - I am sure Mrs. Butterworth.

In the end, another waitress came to let us know that the sausage was supposed to be inside the omelet- never apologizing- but it was the wrong order that our waitress had brought out.  Previously, our waitress explained that she is just helping out during Round Top- here’s a hint: You don’t have a future in waiting tables, and you will not make it during the chaos of the next two weeks!

Overall, the food was fair to mediocre.  With the incredibly bad service, we won’t be back- even if it’s for wine under the oak tree- I will just go to the Stone Cellar.

Round Top:

Before antiques, Round Top used to be one of the smallest incorporated cities in Texas.  Established in 1822, the name arises from the early stage coach stand- the house with the round top.  Round Top hosts the longest continuously celebrated Fourth of July west of the Mississippi.  Other things to do include a side trip to the Winedale Historical Center, tune in for a performance at the International Festival Institute, drop some cash at the newly renovated and expanded Henkel Square or splurge on a piece of pie at Royer’s Café!  And, of course, sip a glass of wine under the oak tree at the Stone Cellar.

Price's Chef @ 6 Points: Corpus Christi

After reading that Price’s Chef had King Ranch Chicken Casserole as the Friday special, I knew I had to go.  I am pretty partial to my King Ranch recipe, but King Ranch is King Ranch.  Located across the street from Hester’s, Price’s Chef @ 6 Points is your typical local diner.  On this dreary day, comfort food was definitely the call.

I took my place at the counter.  A younger granola type sat next to me to which the crusty white guy started in on her.  It was a fun conversation to listen to ranging from survival to labor unions to Obama.  It was quite interesting.  I order the King Ranch- two sides come with it, so I chose fried okra and broccoli Normandy- who really needs sides with King Ranch.

After the lame house salad came out with the Kraft Italian dressing in the squeeze tube, I was thankful for the lively conversation next to me.  Finally, the King Ranch arrives.  The first thing I notice is the over fried okra- looks right out of the freezer as well as the lame uninviting broccoli cauliflower mixture.  Luckily the King Ranch looked inviting with a lot of cheese and chunks of white meat.  Although it was decent- like I said King Ranch is King Ranch, it did lack any spice or kick to it.  It was just average.

 

Although my meal came with a choice of dessert, I was ready to go- the crusty white guy’s friends arrived, so the libtard was saved.  I don’t think dessert could have made the meal any better.   My server- a young granola boy- was never overly excited to have a customer, and he didn’t help the situation.  Personally, I don’t think he has a future in customer relations.

In the end, I was disappointed with Price’s Chef @ 6 Points.  If I have the choice, I will go back to Hester’s!  One thing for sure, don’t parallel park because you might find a lovely colorful yet graphic note on your vehicle just like I did- the author definitely has an anger issue- probably because he lives in the basement of his parent’s house, and they’ve closed down Blockbuster- but then again, I digress. 

Six Points:

Why is this area called Six Points?  Because three major streets- Ayers, Alameda, and Staples- come together.  It’s an urban area being revitalized by local hipsters.   It is a pretty cool little funky area, so check it out.  There are several shops and restaurants here- Tasty Texas Travels has featured Hester’s and Price’s Chef in blog posts.

Andy's Country Kitchen: Corpus Christi

On this raining Sunday morning, I decided to try out Andy’s Country Kitchen.  Reading up on it, it has a sweet history spanning over 50 years.  The restaurant is known for their motorized train that runs above the diner counter not to mention their famous muffins that they serve.

It is packed this morning, so I take my place at the counter below the train.  I’m amazed at the fast pace of this diner- churning orders out without hesitation and with pure ease.  The famous muffins arrive- they look like blueberry with streusel on top.  They are warm, and in a matter of minutes, they disappear.

Today, I decide on the French Toast on recommendation of my waiter.  Two pieces of plain white bread dipped in an egg wash arrive with powder sugar gracing it.  A side of thick sliced bacon accompanied the lack luster French toast.  The bacon was sweet, and it could have used more cooking and a paper towel to wipe off some of the grease- I didn’t care for it.  Although the appearance missed the mark, the French Toast was quite tasty, and it took me back to the days when my mom used to make it for me.

Overall, Andy’s Country Kitchen is a nice local place.  The food is pretty good, but not the best.  It is a place where you can sit next to the locals and strike up a conversation.  The coffee is constantly flowing and you never have to worry about an empty cup.  If you want comfort food with a smile, then this is the place to be.

Walton's Fancy and Staple: Austin

Have you ever been to one of those places where you walk in and feel at home?  Walton’s is one of those places.  It is the sister restaurant to Bess Bistro.  Walton’s has a Parisian air about- whether it is the quaint bistro tables, the fresh flowers from the in house florist, or the fresh baked breads and croissants- not to mention the cupcakes, cookies, and other tasty morsels.

I have been to Walton’s a few times.  This morning, I tried a moist blueberry muffin with a streusel top.  It was quite good and filled with some of the freshest and biggest blueberries that I have ever seen.  My counter part tried the white cheddar ham croissant, and said, “It was out of this world.”

In addition, I got a strawberry Danish, a chocolate chunk cookie, and a carrot cupcake.  Everything has not disappointed.  On previous visits, I have tried the Tiramisu Cupcake that was quite moist and surprising with an Italian Cream center.  The cinnamon bun is to die for.  It is pure bliss with just enough sugar- definitely worth a try. 

Walton’s is open for breakfast and lunch.  Their lunch menu consists of salads, soups, and sandwiches.  Thursday and Friday nights they are open until 8.  Walton’s has created a loyal follower.  Definitely stop on by, I promise you will want to linger.

Hester's Cafe: Corpus Christi

Every once in awhile you find a place, and it just feels like home.  In Corpus, that place is Hester's Cafe.  Park on the backside and next to the Blue Frog Emporium, enter Corpus Christi's coolest, funky little cafe.  I have come for breakfast on another dreary morning, but once inside Hester's, it is pure sunshine.  The atmosphere is bright and cheery.  The staff is super nice and patient.  The place is packed like a local neighborhood joint.

When you don't eat eggs, breakfast is sometimes a challenge.  Today, I order the Blueberry Belgian Waffles with fresh roasted coffee poured into a really large coffee mug just like at home.

These waffles ROCK!  They were so yummy.  Served with fresh fruit, these super light, fluffy, and filled with FRESH blueberries made this little girl very happy.  My only complaint is that a place Hester's should have REAL whipped butter not little packets from Land of Lakes!  But, I will let them slide since I have found a great new place!

If you have a chance, make sure you go to Hester's Cafe.  The food is yummy.  The coffee is large.  And, it will put a smile on your face!  I could have hung out all day here- it's just one of those kind of places!  Don't miss it!

Kiko's Mexican Food: Corpus Christi

On this dreary, rainy (yes, rainy) morning, I head to Kiko's Mexican Food for some breakfast tacos.  I am seated quickly, and within a few minutes, an elderly Hispanic lady comes to take my drink order.  I wait and wait and wait and wait for that coffee.  She must have been having a Senior Moment!

Upon her return, I order the usual: breakfast taco with potato, cheese, and bacon- No Eggs.  And, it was great!  I have got to figure out what kind of cheese they use- maybe Velveeta- it just tastes like queso.  The salsa reminded me of Cisco's in Austin, so i loved it.  The flour tortilla made fresh and on site rocked!  Overall, the taco was great.  I just wished that the waitress would have gotten my order right, and brought me that other taco that I had ordered.  Must have been another Senior Moment!

If you are in Corpus, I recommend Kiko's for their breakfast tacos.  I have no idea if anything else is good, but judging by the loyal local following, they must be doing something right.  Just prepare to be patient with the service because it isn't fast or accurate- but it's friendly.

Cisco's Restaurant & Bakery: Austin

Rumor has it that you could come to Cisco's before a UT game and get a Bloody Mary before 10 am.  How could you not like a place like that?  How could you not like seeing Texas's Power sitting among the locals?  How can you not like a big circular table with one red phone in the middle of it- Who you gonna call?  And, who cares if celebrities even stop in?????

A trip to Austin without a trip to Cisco's is sacri-relig for this girl.  On this early morning, I found out something pretty critical.  Cisco's doesn't open until 7 am, so hit that snooze button a few more times.
We have always sat in the back room, so walk on through the bakery portion, turn right, and turn right again.

This morning, I am alone in the room filled with memorabilia of early Austin, UT, and how life used to be.  I order my usual: a coffee and two breakfast tacos with potato, bacon, and cheese.  I always forget that they don't give you a lot of salsa, so ask for extra.

Local politicos pile in, and the topic on their mind is Rick Perry and his race for the Presidency.  It's a great place to be nosey, but then again, it wasn't like they were whispering!  I enjoyed my two breakfast tacos: boiled red potatoes, the crispiest bacon just the way i like it, the cheese, and the slightly sour salsa- maybe a hint of vinegar.  Definitely, a great way to start the day!

Everyone should get to experience Cisco's in their lifetime.  It's definitely an experience.  Plus, it makes you realize that Austin isn't just weird because places like Cisco's makes it pretty dang cool.

The Home Cafe at Bronco Billy's Casino: Cripple Creek, CO

View of Cripple Creek

OK, the guys managed to throw me off of “The Plan.”  When they heard about the $0.49 breakfast at the Home Café at Bronco Billy’s Casino, democracy ruled, and our plans changed.

First of all, the Home Café is a no frills place- just like a truck stop diner.  At least Colorado has implemented a smoke free environment in their Casinos.  The Home Café sits in the back of the Casino.  And, it is true; you can get full breakfast with eggs, pancakes, biscuits, and gravy for just $0.49.  If you really want to splurge, you can get the steak and eggs for just $2.99.

OK, service is just fair.  The coffee tasted like a dirty ashtray, and that’s scary because I like truck stop coffee.  I wasn’t happy about being here because the thought of a $0.49 breakfast just turned my stomach.  I ordered Pancakes that were recommended over the Texas Style French Toast since they are homemade. 

Drum rolls please…….these pancakes were some of the best pancakes that I have ever had.  The two pancakes were so light and fluffy.  I usually eat just a few bites of my pancakes, but today, I ate all of them.  They were super good, and the best part is that they were ONLY $0.49. 

In fact, our table of five ate for under $10- how can you beat that?  If you are in Cripple Creek, and you are craving pancakes or a really cheap breakfast, try the Home Café at Bronco Billy’s Casino.  You can’t be disappointed.  And, if you are, stop your whining!  You just spent less than a $1!

King's Chef Diner: Colorado Springs, CO

Located on the corner of Nevada and Bijou, this location of King’s Chef Diner could be easy to pass up, but DON’T!  On this Saturday morning, we walk in to find the place packed, so we take our seats at the counter- the best place in the diner.  Here you can watch the magic in the kitchen, and trust me, you will be amazed and fascinated.

Thanks to those PCBC Streamliners, coffee is definitely in order on this cool crisp morning.  Sitting at the counter, we are just in awe of the food that is coming out.  No wonder why the Food Network Magazine named them the “Tastiest Breakfast in Colorado!”  This morning, I opt for the MINI breakfast burrito with potatoes, cheese, sausage, and green chili salsa! 

Oh my, these counter seats provide so much entertainment.  The guys behind it keep you laughing with their off kiltered wit and grief to the locals.  I don’t think I would be calling that hunk of a muscle next to us “Princess-” especially since he is from Texas too! 

Anyways, the burrito comes out and the MINI is HUGE.  The green chili salsa rocks, and I am definitely taking some of it home with me.  It is available online too!  This is just what the doctor ordered!

If you find yourself in Colorado Springs, take a seat at the counter at King’s Chef Diner.  Breakfast and lunch are served all day at their two locations. I really want to come back for a burger because they looked awesome.  I can guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.

UPDATE: Longview

The following restaurants have recently been updated:

Butcher Shop: One morning, we went for a full breakfast.  I ordered breakfast tacos without eggs, of course.  They were really good though they could have had some potatoes added in place of the eggs.  The two very large tacos came out with crumbled sausage, red and yellow bell peppers, and cheese.  Typical jar salsa was added to make a very scrumptious and filling breakfast taco.  Definitely a winner.

Cowboy Chicken: I stopped in to grab a late dinner.  I wanted to be somewhat good, so I had the Grilled Chicken Platter with Green Beans and Tangy Tomato and Cucumber Salad.  When the plate came out, the chicken looked horrible- not appetizing at all, but it was actually very tender, well seasoned, and delish.  The green beans were typical canned green beans with some black pepper added- not great, but the tangy tomato cucumber salad rocked.  The slightly sweet yet Chile smoked vinaigrette marinated the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, celery and cilantro perfectly.  This was a great, healthy and light dinner for after 7 pm.

Joe's Pizza, Pasta and Subs: This restaurant has now closed.  Cafe Italy II has opened in the location.

Pie in the Sky Pie Company: Conroe & The Heights

Well, to finish this extremely hot Friday off, I decided to go to Pie in the Sky Pie Company in Conroe.  Afterall, it's on my way home, and I had read about their Cake Balls which really intrigued me.  The Conroe location is not too easy to get to, but you can access it from the Loop 336 South of Hwy 105 and West of I-45.

At the Conroe location, Pie in the Sky offers breakfast, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and of course pie.  You can also order casseroles to go from King Ranch Chicken to Lasagna.  Today, I am on a quest for Cake Balls.  They have Italian Cream and Chocolate with Chocolate Icing.  I opt for two of each, and a white cupcake with white icing.

I know this picture does not do these treats justice, but take my word.......  The Italian Cream Cake Ball was incredible.  The cake inside was super moist, and the hard bark like coating was perfect in sweetness.  Next, I had to try the Chocolate Cake Ball.  Pure bliss for chocaholics!  Once again the cake was super moist, and the coating was pefection.   I did wait until after dinner to eat the cupcake- ok, it was my dinner.  The icing wasn't too sweet- just right in fluff and sugar.  The cake was slightly drier than I would have like, but overall, it was quite tasty.

I have a new love and it isn't pie, but Pie in the Sky's Cake Balls.  I am already planning on taking them to a dinner in a few weeks, and I have told all of my friends about them.  I can't tell you if anything else is good, but I can tell you that these cake balls will put a smile on your face.  Stop off the next time you are in Conroe or in the Heights, and pick up a few.... dozen.

Ramsey's: Victoria, Texas

Ramsey's has been around forever since 1948.  This diner serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's Sunday, and breakfast at the counter sounds like the plan.  This place does a booming eat in business and you should see the take out. 

As I take my perch, I decide on a cup of coffee and a short stack of pancakes with bacon.  They are known for their cinnamon rolls, so I was in luck that they had one left.  I chose pecan over raisin.

Wow, this cinnamon roll is HUGE!  It is more like a cinnamon pecan biscuit.  Finally, in the center, tons of pecans and glaze.  It was really kinda overkill and quite overwhelming. 

The short stack arrives.  Three thick cut strips of crispy bacon on top of 2 huge pancakes.  The bacon totally rocked.  The pancakes were fluffy about half an inch.  They were very good, and hit the spot.

I asked the waitress if it ever slows down, and she said this is slow.  If this is slow, then this place is a gold mine and then some!  Its also a great place to people watch and meet the friendly locals!  Definitely, check out this established, local eatery the next time you are in Victoria whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Tink-a-Tako: Castroville, Texas

I have been driving pass this Tink-a-Tako location since it has opened.  It is always packed.  On a recent trip to Big Bend, I said today is the day.  I stopped into Tink-a-Tako for a breakfast taco.  Of course, they had over 20 to choose from.  My goal: one without eggs.  The counter help accommodated my wishes for a Bacon, Potato, and Cheese Taco.

You get a choice between red or green sauce.  I said which is hotter- the green.  OK, give me the green.  When asked about the size of the taco, they are quite large.  NOT!  OK, I know that there isn't much to a taco, but OMG, this one was sooooo good that even my dog was drooling.  The bacon was fried crisp just like the way I love it.  The potatoes were hash brown style, but mushy more like mashed potatoes.  And, cheddar cheese.  It rocked.  The only real complaint is that the Green Sauce is NOT HOT- at least to my lead stomach.

I highly recommend Tink-a-Tako.  I would love to go back and eat something else on their menu- authentic Mexican cuisine.  I can definitely tell you that every trip to Big Bend will include this Tink-a-Tako location as one of my stops especially since they have a drive thru too.  And, I can guarantee you that I will get two tacos with extra "Hot" sauce.

Moose Market: Longview, Texas

It was a dreary Monday morning when I drove past Moose Market.  I made a quick U-Turn, and decided to give it a try.  I found it peculiar that there was a trash dumpster in the middle of their driveway.  Was this a sign?  Plus, it looked like the place wasn’t open, and my elderly eyes couldn’t read the hours of operation.  I entered to find a dimly lit place that I didn’t know if it wanted to be open for breakfast or not.  I finally yelled for help.

A very nice woman entered and began accommodating my wishes.  Breakfast is VERY limited.  Today, it was a choice of Quiche or Biscuits and Gravy.  I chose the blueberry muffin and a cup of coffee.  Just to get my order to the $5 minimum for a credit card, I got a piece of Moose Cake to go. 

They didn’t even have coffee made, so she made a fresh pot for me.  The blueberry muffins were placed into the microwave in a Styrofoam container to warm them.  It became very obvious that lunch was the meal to come here for- specializing in comfort food from chicken and dumplings to tortilla soup.

The blueberry muffins were just average.  They tasted like they were made from the Duncan Hines muffin mix.  And, to know that they were nuked in the Styrofoam container topped it off.  I couldn't even bear to picture the blueberry muffins.

The Moose cake is a chocolate cake with layers of pecans, toasted coconut, and marshmallow cream- I think that’s what it was.  It was similar to an Upside Down German Chocolate Cake.  The cake was moist, but it was not sweet- more along the lines of a bittersweet style.  I wasn’t overly impressed with the creation.

I think the real gem to Moose Market is their lunch.  They should just skip breakfast because it was a total non-event.  Their lunch menu featured wraps, soups, salads,  and other daily comfort food specials.  If you go to Moose Market, just make it for lunch because breakfast will disappoint you.

Donut Hole Off: College Station, Navasota, Sealy, and Bellville, Texas

I'm not crazy about of donuts, but I sure do like donut holes- Go Figure.  In fact, I wanted to put to the test some of the local donut holes.  I tested donut holes at Shipley: College Station, Donut Palace: Navasota and Sealy, and Snowflake Donuts: Bellville.  Drum roll, please.......

The winner is: Snowflake Donuts in Bellville, Texas.  The holes were deep fried golden brown with the sweetest glaze of all.  Just perfect. Yummy.

Runner up: Shipley Donuts out of College Station.  Growing up in Houston, I am a huge Shipley fan, but these holes were tiny in size- chintzy.  Their glaze was great with a hint of cinnamon, but the holes were fried a little too long- a little too crunchy for my liking.

Second Runner Up goes to Donut Palace in Sealy and Navasota.  Donut Palace's dough has more butter in it.  The glaze is not as sweet as I like it.  I was not impressed at all at either of the locations.

So, if you are ever in Bellville, stop in and eat some holes at Snowflake Donuts.  I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

Hullabaloo Diner: Wellborn, Texas

Today, we went to Hullabaloo Diner just South of Wellborn for brunch.  This diner was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives with Guy Fieri.  Hullabaloo Diner is one of the few registered, authentic diners in the State of Texas.  It has quite a history, which can be read on their website, but the diner's origins are from Albany, New York as the DeRaffele Diner dating back to 1940's.  

Get there early because the crowds overflow into the parking lot.  We were fortunate to be seated in a booth inside the dining car.  I ordered coffee which came with a black and white cow creamer- I thought that was cute.  I went with breakfast, and ordered the Breakfast Burrito with green chili and cheddar cheese.

WOW!  This burrito usually comes with eggs, potatoes, and sausage; but, they made it without eggs since I have a terrible aversion to eggs- thank you.  The burrito is HUGE, and it was super yummy.  I had to force myself to stop eating it and take half of it home for later!  This burrito is the best thing that I have eaten over my 3 day visit to Bryan College Station.


We also ordered the Double Decker Diner club sandwich.

This sandwich had ham, turkey, bacon, Swiss, American, lettuce, tomato and mayo on toasted wheat bread.  It came with potato chips which were straight out of the bag.  I am kinda shocked that they don't have home made potato chips.  Overall, we though it was quite good.


For dessert, we tried the Bread Pudding made from the Hullabaloo cinnamon rolls with vanilla ice cream. 

We were very disappointed with this dish.  The bread pudding was barely hot, but the ice cream was like soup- didn't taste like Blue Bell either.  The bread pudding was super dense.  It was like we were eating a chunk of dough.  We agreed that we would not order it again.

Finally, we got a slice of the coconut cream pie to go.  Since I did not get to have any of it, my understanding is that on a scale of 10, the pie rated an 8.  However, the little mouse that ate it felt like the price of the piece of pie was too high.

Overall, I really liked the Hullabaloo Diner.  I can't wait to go back and try some of its diner fare like meatloaf or pot roast.  I highly suggest that if you are in the Bryan College Station area, check out the Hullabaloo Diner.  It's definitely worth the wait.
