Nice employees Mom And Pop store. Well known for lunch meats cut to the thickness you want.👍

Stopped by this historic store many times before, but always after the kitchen closed. Today, after a relaxing drive out on Lone Star Rd./William Penn, we lucked out and caught one of the best homestyle burger in a very long time.It is an out of the way place and very popular with cycle clubs and local ranchers.Made to order on old school flat top griddle.Cheers!🥰👍🍔💪🤙

Wow Mike and his Family are extremely awesome, nice, and welcoming. Love coming here almost every single day.

Nice little convenience store. Friendly staff. There is a restuarant inside with good sandwiches. Good place to stop if you visit Old Baylor College or the Rose Emporium.

Ummm, cool store near the Emporium. I have no complaints.

Outstanding hamburger, just like when I was a kid. No fast food hamburger. Highly recommend

Fantastic little convenience store, has everything you would expect.

Love this place. Rustic and authentic. Be sure to travel old independence road

We stopped on our historical trip in Independence, the people were wonderful and had a large selection to pick from.

Great out of the way place that is part of Texas historySit out on the back patio while you eat a burger and drink a cold beer. Oh...but dont feed the goats!

Friendly local owners. Great daily specials. They have burgers. Today we had the fried catfish and curly fries. Sometimes they have chicken fried steak. Fully stocked local grocery store with ice and gas! Nice outdoor deck with flat screen tv.

I had the pleasure of stopping here for some rest while cycling the ACA Southern Tier from Honey Island to Austin. This is the perfect place to stop for a break. Cold beverages, nice sandwiches, and some of the best people you will ever meet. The owner is very bicycle friendly and I have no regrets stopping here. One of the highlights of my trip!

We live down the road and love this country store!

You can find anything you need in the house. And the burgers are delicious!

Warm and inviting - a very nice throwback to yesteryear.

Homestyle food is pretty good, great prices, friendly staff

The owner(?) was very informative about Independence, TX and where we could find the historic Bayer Park. In fact, he asked us when we came back for lunch if we found everything we asked about. Lunch was really good, too. Its a home town store with a deli/lunch counter. It has its own unique history.

Great place to go without going into the city. 😁

Great hamburgers and friendly service.

Best chicken fried steak in these parts.Big as an umbrella!!!

Enjoyed our day trip to Independence and saw Bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush and History of the little town. Stopped and picked up lunch for a picnic. The hamburgers were delicious.

Cute little country store with everything you could need in a pinch.

Friendly people. Theyve got groceries, beer, lotto, serve lunch. The gas pumps out front actually work, folks. So please dont park in front of them unless youre getting gas.

Loved the historic venue, good ole fashion country store and the friendly service.

Best burger in Washington County, no doubt! Great small town vibe also!

Very nice family owned store great food and prices ❤️

Love this place so much! Super friendly, helpful and all around good people. Food is awesome! No burger compares to theirs. Best little general store in Texas in my personal opinion.

My home town store

Great place to watch a game and have a good time. Good snacks and icey cold drinks too!

As old school as it gets (in a very good way).

One of the truly great general stores in Texas. If you are close and need a quick lunch the have homemade sandwiches ready to go. Very friendly family owned and run store.

Awesome store. Brenda and Mike and the family are all such nice people. Love going there. Excellent lunches and hamburgers

Good food. Great service

If you are in the area do not cheat yourself for a visit to this store. It is an icon of Texas, a country store for locals, which is always found in the store and outside. The place is also good for a quick lunch, or a drink at the bar in the back of the store.
