“Friendly service, delicious food! We had the smothered pork chops and meatloaf- very satisfying! Sides were great! Clean restroom, as well!”

“I’ve been there many times over many years. This review isn’t based on one visit. They are friendly and consistent. The prices are fair and the quality of food is to par. They hire hard working locals that have their livelihood invested in the community. Just keep in mind that when your bill is low because of the menu prices, tipping more than the minimum keeps the employees a little less stressed in their personal lives as well as happy at work able to serve you better. Everything I’ve tried on the menu is good”

“Just had a chicken salad sandwich on chibatta bread. Fresh and deliciously seasoned. Thank you!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
Indonesian • $
“This is a hidden gem of an Asian restaurant in South Austin. I come here often! The service is always warm and attentive, and the portions are generous. The lady who runs the place is also the cook, and you can truly feel the passion she puts into every dish—she even remembers exactly what I like. The Indonesian fried chicken is hands down the best I’ve ever had. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend this place”

“We've been going here for years. When they started out in the big red building, then moved across the street to the old Shady Oaks building then to the old computer shop where they are now. Sadly the quality has continually dropped. We go for breakfast and most often the food is put on cold plates. Several times parts of the order is missing and shows up at the end of the meal. Charmaine was the head waitress for years who seemed to keep things going in order but she's no longer there.”

“Overall I am happy with the store but the meat market and curbside service needs to step up their game. I got 2 packages of cube steak and one looks like thin cut chicken nugget sized pieces and the other is normal sized and thickness. The cutter should have known better and the person who worked the order should have known better Also, the meat dept seldom has more than 1 or 2 choice packer briskets. They will have 8 or 10 "wagyu" and Prime briskets but those are sinificantly more expensive.”

Breakfast • $
“The place is such a cool country town kind of place. Absolutely loved the staff, they were slam packed and they still had time to check on us. The food was pretty good, eggs cooked wonderfully which is why I hate to say anything negatively but if I was pushed to say anything the biscuits need improvement. These were like dinner rolls in my opinion. Loved everything else! The service like I said was phenomenal and the place was clean, busy and lively. Didn't feel crowded even in a crowd.”

“My wife took me to this gem for my birthday. They were open for takeout only, but when they learned it was my birthday, they brought us inside, and Giovanni served us personally. The combo gumbo was absolutely DELICIOUS, and my wife had a superb catfish fillet sandwich with onion rings. If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, do yourself a favor and experience the best food in all of Bastrop.”
