Nestled away in downtown Hutto is a small cafe that I’ve ridden by numerous times but never stopped at. It wasn’t until Texas Monthly declared it on of the best small-town cafes that my interest was peaked. While they raved about the fried pickles, in addition to the chicken fried chicken, they failed to mention just how awesome and friendly the staff was.
After placing my usual Shiner Bock and pickle order, I anxiously waited while taking in the decor. A short while later I was presented with the perfect order of fried pickles. Everything, and I mean everything, was done just the way it should be. The pickle slices had the perfect bite. The no nonsense batter was fresh, crunchy, and not at all greasy. They were served piping hot and perfectly seasoned with a healthy dose of fresh ground black pepper. On the side was a generous bowl of house made ranch. I just can’t tell you how much I enjoyed these. After consuming way to many bad and mediocre baskets, I finally felt like I stumbled upon the Holy Grail.
If you have been following my reviews, please do yourself a favor and make the trip out to Hutto. From the moment Ron greets you at the door (a co-owner of the place) to the final bite of pie (you must try the Hot Skillet Brandy Apple Pie), you will know that it is only a short amount of time until you make a return visit.
