Other Places We've Eaten Along the Road

I'm way behind in listing "Places To Eat," due to health challenges. So today is kinda of a make up day for not doing it then.

                                     Houston, Texas:

                                                            Miller's Cafe

Miller's Cafe, 6560 Fannin Street, Scurlock Tower. Very good food (hamburgers and sandwiches), fair price, and great atmosphere. 1-713-791-1717

Cliff's Grill at 6605 S. Main Street, is a small, eatery, with good food and a pleasant atmosphere. We've eaten there several times, when in Houston, and it's always been very enjoyable.

                               Glenrio, New Mexico:

   Russell's Truck

and Travel Center 

                                                              Entrance to Museum


Russell's Endree Truck and Travel Center , 1583 Frontage Road 4132. Glenrio, NM 88434, (I-40 : the old Route 66) is priced right, large servings, and an extremely enjoyable atmosphere (looking at all the trucks above the counter and the museum). Again, we've eaten there several times and the reason we stop is because of the last time we stopped.

Good food, service is great, atmosphere, and it's a good place to catch your breath, so to speak, on a long drive in New Mexico and Texas. 1-575-578-8700

The EGG and I

On a recent trip my lovely wife, Judy, and I came across an excellent place to eat. We were looking for a place to have our CD drive checked, in Leander, Texas after visiting with family.

Following Judy's GPS, in her phone, we found the place it told us to go to wasn't there. At least anymore.

We had driven by this unusual place called "Egg and I." It was near lunch time so we decided to check it out.

                                                     

                                                         14005 N Hwy 183, Suite 500
                                                              Austin, Texas 78717
                                                                1-512-250-3447


At first glance the menu seemed a tad pricey. But, hey, we were hungry, it started to rain, and we decided inside was a lot better than outside.

The food was "beyond good, it was GREAT!" The size was awesome.

Just look at that plate. a biscuit with gravy (with sausage in it), two sausage, three eggs, and potatoes. I couldn't eat it all. And that my friend, is very, very unusual. Oh, I also had two pieces of wheat toast and it was the best toast I've EVER had.

Judy had the same and the same problem I had, she couldn't eat it all.

I took a piece of toast and a sausage with me to eat later. It was as good if not better three hours later.

The staff was extremely friendly and service was 5 Star. Our waitress, Jana Creel, was the nicest lady we've had the pleasure to meet in many a meal.

Look at that SMILE....isn't she a beautiful Lady!

I also loved their sign. My mom and grandmother said that many times. As a result, I'd rather eat breakfast three times a day.

We found out their corporate office is in Denver, they're growing slowly, service and quality food are certainly their standard.

"The Egg and I" is a  FIVE STAR  place to eat.

You'll be very happy if you find them and try them.

Kristle Thacker is the General Manager and Abe Mujica is the Kitchen Manager at this "The EGG and I." Be sure to say"Hi" to them and to Jana Creel. Tell them, John Madden's Travel Blog said "HI."

We'll look for them as we travel!
