Grazing Congress food group will be starting back up
again. I can’t believe how fast time has
gone by. Our last outing was at Hill’s Café
in July, 2014 so over a year ago. A lot of changes have happened in our group
and we sure need to catch up. I lost my
husband to a heart attack last October 2014 so I have had a year of sadness and
coping day by day with help from the Lord and my family and friends. Both Gina and Terresa’s sons have finished
high school and are in college now. Debbie
H. has had a “good loss” in that she has lost over 60 pounds with sensible
eating and exercise. Robyn N. has moved
to Houston and gotten married. Linda is
in the process of selling and building a new home and took a well- deserved
vacation to Alaska and Debi B. has been traveling and I am sure she has some
good grand-ma stories for us. My sister,
niece, and a few more ladies are set to join us next week to enjoy more good food
and fellowship on Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas.
HILL’S CAFÉ – July 1, 2014
Hill’s Café has been on South Congress Avenue for years and
years. It is an Austin original. Everyone enjoyed the food and the place
reminds me of a classy truck stop style café.
A little “trashy” with a lot of “class”!
I had the truck stop enchiladas which were very good and cheesy. I enjoy this café and most times there is not
a long wait in the evenings. It does get
busier for lunch.
Comments:
Linda liked the laid back atmosphere. She commented it took a while for our food to
arrive, maybe because there were 7 of us there.
She had the chicken fried steak and said it was GREAT!
Debi said it was very clean and the wait-staff was efficient,
she had the mushroom burger with a side of zucchini, both had great
flavor. She would go back again!
Another commented, it was a little loud and hard to hear
conversation and that the wait time for the food was longer than usual. She had
the chicken fried steak and thought it was a little tough but liked the place
because it is an Austin icon.
Next comments “Very Texas”.
It took a while to get our food but we used the time to catch up and chat. I ate chicken breast, grilled zucchini and green beans – said this
is a great place for large groups.
Last comments were that Hill’s was a very friendly
place. Had the original Hill’s burger
and the meat was perfect, loved the kolache bun and the serving was very
large. Only ate half. This gal is going back again also.
