RIDIN’ AND EATIN’Using the interweb or social media to find new restaurants with great food can bringdisappointment when discovering that a place is nowhere near what was expected. It’ssometimes better to approach a new place with little or no optimism. So not knowingmuch about the place other than the unusual name, it was a bit of a gamble trying out theHole In The Wall Cafe.When arriving, you notice how small the place appears. Looking like it can’t hold morethan a dozen patrons, it’s a pleasant surprise to find that it is much roomier than that.The menu has the normal variety of cafe food such as burgers, sandwiches, salads, anddinner plates. There are 11 burgers on the menu including the The Hog, The Wild Hog,The Piglet, and The Wild Pig.You will NOT want to order the Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. It costs $23.59 and youneed to allow 30 minutes for preparation! Asking the owner how popular the PB&J was, wewere told, “I don’t know. I never had to make one.”The food is good. Really good. And the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. It’s alwaysgood when a restaurant recognizes “scooter trash” (the owner’s words) and goes out oftheir way to make you feel welcome.The Hole In The Wall Cafe is the whole experience, Texas-style!
