Restaurants in Hico

“Our new favorite place to stop on our way to the Hill Country!! Incredibly friendly and helpful staff + amazingly delicious sandwiches and salad! Highly recommend the jalapeño cheddar sourdough. 5 stars!!”

“Wonderful coffee, fresh pizza, the cutest outdoor atmosphere in a quiet little town. Definitely a great place to relax and grab a pizza with my kiddos.Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! The courtyard is clean, very spacious and definitely a great place for kiddos to spend time while parents grab a quick coffee. The owner is super kid friendly too which is a plus!”

“Food is very good and so is atmosphere. A limited menu but is everything is very good. Not very busy at 5pm but got busier the later it got. Best place to for a sit down in Hico.Parking: Street parking that could get crowded.”

“My eggplant parmigiana was home made perfect. This is a no-frills, old style café with genuine Italian heritage somewhere. In a growing town where you can easily spend $50 for a good meal at one of the two or three really fancy-schnancie places in town, it's nice to know you can get your gourmet in with a $9.95 dish as good as anywhere in Italy! The bread is right out of the oven and light as a feather - although nobody offered butter or olive oil and garlic with it. The salad was plenty big, very fresh, if a little unimaginative. The atmosphere is small town typical with taxi yellow walls and painting prints from a Motel 6 garage sale, but clean as a pin and pleasant. Oh, and the waitress could be Miss Texas. So it's a win win.”

“We went for the first time today and were very impressed! It was the first time I ever loved every wine I tried at a tasting! It will have to be for special occasions because it a tad pricey (only $28 and $32 for most) since we usually share an entire bottle most nights! Shhhh! We will be enjoying this for Valentine’s Day and buying it again for sure!”

“The breakfast burrito was huge, and delicious! Had ours with bacon, pico, and cheese. Large, homemade tortilla stuffed with eggs and our choices. Their spicy hot sauce was just perfect. It’s a food truck, but shade to eat in the car.”

“Awesome place to stop in while passing through, don’t be concerned by the fact that it shares a building with a gas station, food is incredible especially the beans. Must eat in Hico”

“We just loved our weekend at the Midland hotel and best part of all was the food and service. I definitely recommend this place!!Kid-friendliness: They go above and beyond for kiddos”

“Cute place! The bathroom had a bit of a door lock issue, and the paper towels had run out, but the drinks were affordable and good. We had a cold brew with vanilla and cream and a chai latte. Zucchini bread was yummy!They had outdoor seating with swings and tables, and the indoor area was very spacious. It used to be an old house. They even had a small area with toys for kids to play. Didn't get pictures because it was a quick stop.”

“On my work trips, I typically stop here for one (or two) of their amazing spicy Boudain Klobasniks. They are incredible. Staff is always friendly and ready to help. A favorite for road trips.”

“What a nice surprise! We were on the fence about where to get dinner in Hico. We decided to try BarbaCelli’s. So delicious! The mozzarella sticks had a nice crispy breading and cheesy center and perfect sauce. Our pizzas were perfect, I got margarita and my husband got pepperoni. Perfect char on the crust, maybe had a bit of Parmesan. It was so tasty especially after a day of hiking at Inks Lake! The employees were so nice and we could actually have a conversation in the restaurant. We will go back!”

“We came here after church and it wasn't busy at all. We got seated right away and decided to try the buffet. They had rice and beans, enchiladas, tamales, chicken fajitas, taco meat, flautas, and menudo! Menudo on the buffet! All the fixings; lime, cilantro, pico, lettuce, 2 types of cheese, 3 different salsas, chips, fresh fruit, and dessert! All for under 35 for 2!”

“If you like pickled onions the brisket tacos are to die for!!! The rest of my party got the mixed nachos and said they were the best they had ever had. Service was friendly.”

“This little place we stopped at while traveling has really good food. The service was very good. Oh and the homemade pies are very tasty! We will be back next time we travel south.”

“Very reliable, good food, and friendly staff. However sometimes they mess up the order but I don't blame them. Overall, good fast food.Parking: Good parking spaces all around the place, but if you don't want to stay and eat, you can always use the drive through.”
