Mary's Taco's  830-895-7474
1616 Broadway Kerrville, Texas

Our favorite place locally is Mary’s Tacos.
Now I know when most of y’all think tacos, you think of crisp corn tortilla with filling.

But in south/central Texas, a taco is a soft flour tortilla filled all manner of good things.

And a breakfast taco is absolutely the best, and Mary’s are the best in town.
They make their own tortillas and have a huge list of items to fill them with- of course, scrambled eggs- then bacon, sausage, chorizo, and so on.

I'm always in there eating seafood.Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu is a large variety, and the food is very appealing, and of good flavor.I would recommend this place to everyone near and far......

The catfish/shrimp platter was top tier with two large plates of food, but the onion rings are LEGENDARY. Nowhere else has onion rings like that. Mmmmmmmm

The Big Texan Steak Ranch

Josh

This was a fun stop and one of the highlights of our trip. The atmosphere is what you would expect...very big and full of tourtist activities (which suited us well since we were tourists). We were able to see two individuals try for the 72oz steak challenge while we were there (both failed) which was fun. The food itself was much better than we were expecting. Two of us had a ribeye, which was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Another had a burger, which was also very good. Great service as well on this visit. We sat at one of the tables on the 2nd floor overlooking the lower level...great vantage point to see all of the activity and the challenge stage.

The Burger Joint

Rick

The Sunrise Burger was served on a large fresh bun, with beef, bacon, and PIMENTO CHEESE!  Hey; don't knock it until you try it - it was delicious!!  Messy, but delicious - don't eat it in your car!  My wife couldn't finish her large Bacon Cheeseburger, but she loved every bite!

The fries were cut thin with the skins on - just like I like!  They would've been crispier if the grease was a bit hotter, but we came at the end of the lunch rush.  (Always hard to keep the grease hot with large quantities of fries in the pot.). The tea was good, although the 'sweet tea' needed more sugar if you are a fiend like us.  Hah!

Overall; two thumbs way up!

Hole-in-the-wall cafe

Ben

Best burger I can remember having in a very very long time if you're an average size guy like me you don't need a knife and fork to eat the burger could not put it in my mouth I got a double burger or something bacon jalapenos very good and the pork skins were good too

The Pully Bone

Paul

I had the stuffed French toast this morning. It was very good. The order was ready when promised. I have eaten at The Pulley Bone several times. Breakfast is always good

Elizabeth

If you're in the area, plan to stop here!  Hands down the BEST chicken fried steak I've ever had - and I've had quite a few.  

Eggs cooked to order and standard fare hashed browns. All good stuff. The biscuits are closer to bread than biscuit, but slather on that gravy and it makes no difference!

Freddy's Cafe

 Rich

I wanted to try something new for breakfast on my way home from the dentist. It's tucked away in a commercial park, but not too hard to find. This place caters to the local businesses for breakfast and lunch. I tried the croissant breakfast sandwich and the three meat breakfast taco. They were quick with the order and they make a mean breakfast.  The place wasn't crowded, as it seems lots of businesses in the area call in their orders and come pick them up.  Next time I'll try this place for lunch.

Texas Tradition

I had the Seafood platter. It was perfect.The squash and tomatoes were great.This is our first visit here. We are from Sa.Texas.The ice tea is great.The crab cakes are a 4 out of 5. We will never eat all of this.My second side was potatoe soup. I asked for that side to go.It will be lunch tomorrow. This little hole in the wall in well worth it. My husband said his was really good too.The staff was great also. Five stars for sure.

Scheller's Cafe

Great local place! I had a burger and it was cooked perfectly to my order and my spouse & brother had chicken strips baskets that they agreed was a very fresh tasting chicken strip. The food is prepared when you order it, so appreciate the wait & have a cold one!

Mel's Diner

Everyone we met was super friendly. Mel even came and visited with us. Not the big burley diner "Mel" I had envisioned, but a smiling, gregarious, blond haired woman! We really enjoyed visiting with her.

I had their fried shrimp which was hands down the BEST fried shrimp I have had since moving to the DFW Metroplex area. The dish I had was drizzled with an Old Bay Seasoning and honey mixture. It was delicious.
My husband had the chicken fried steak and is always looking for the best. He rated this one in his top 3 which means it was really good.
Along with the entrees the sides, fresh cut french fries, lobster macaroni salad, jalapeño poppers, and cold slaw, were all delicious.
