Postcard from Texas

A couple of Saturdays ago, Live-In Handyman and I stopped for a burger.

Now a city the size of San Antonio has a lot of burger joints - almost as many places to get a burger as there are to get a taco. Almost.

But there aren't other burger spots like this one, just a mile or two past Rolling Oaks Mall going toward Garden Ridge:

The Bracken Store Cafe
Bracken, Texas

Outside, you're greeted by a friendly front porch that proudly proclaims the name of the place.

 

Inside, the Bracken Store Cafe is a tiny little place with booths around two walls, a few tables in the center, and a down-home funky decor. They have a sizable menu of lunch food, but I can only tell you about the burgers.

Best. Burgers. Ever.

 

And there's a Wurlitzer jukebox. While we were eating, I heard songs by Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Jimmy Buffett.

And guess what?

Even the train stops for lunch.

If you're in the neighborhood, you can stop, too.
