Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I was a little shocked that for a Central Texas restaurant with roots back to 1860 that there was so little red meat on the menu. Why serve frozen salmon when you COULD be serving fresh beef? Started with the 1861 hushpuppies. Good, but a little over-salted (common in Central Texas- people here tend to equate salt with flavor on everything). Hamburger was a let-down: pre-formed, frozen patties. Also tried the pimento cheese, which is mislabeled on the menu. It is a GRILLED pimento cheese; nowhere is it described as "grilled" on the menu. Pimiento cheese filling was very bland, not a zing or hint of flavor to be found. Dessert was the peach cobbler, another menu mislabeling. It is not a cobbler, it's apple crisp with peaches substituted for apples. Still, it was the highlight of the meal.
