Last Saturday morning we were sitting around the house wondering what we could do for the day. So I got on the internet to see where we could go eat lunch. Ennis isn't too far away so I looked on their Chamber of Commerce website to see if they had and restaurants listed.
The Kolache Depot Bakery was listed on the site. It looked like the kind of place Lynne would like, so we loaded up the car and headed for Ennis. It's on Brown St one block south of the main drag. We parked across the street by City Hall and walked over to eat.
This is the alley next to the building. Old alleyways can be very interesting.
There wasn't much of a crowd this Saturday morning. Two or three other tables were occupied. The older people at one table were just sitting there talking and drinking coffee. They were there when we got there, and there when we left.
Notice Jesse trying to get out of the picture.
Above is my meal. I had the BLT and a cup of Chicken Enchilada Soup. The bread on the sandwich was fresh made that morning and was wonderful. The soup had great flavor too. It took awhile but I did finish all of it.
Lynne had the Reuben Sandwich and a bowl of Baked Potato Soup. She said that both were excellent. Jesse just had a big bowl of the Potato Soup, he couldn't finish all of it. Will had a hamburger, with a fresh baked bun. You can check out the menu
on their website to see what other good things they have.
The wall was covered with different names. The waiter said they are the names of the local Czech families.
We went home through Bardwell and saw this field of sunflowers on the way. It was a fun day out and we enjoyed the time in Ennis.
Last Saturday Lynne and I went to Hillsboro for lunch. We decided on Frenkie's Italian Restaurant on the square.
The waiter met us at the door to take us to a table. I think it's a good sign when the waiter's Italian accent is so thick you have trouble understanding him. Must be my Texas ears.
We got fresh baked bread with our salad before the food arrived.
Lynne got a Stromboli. It looked very good and half of it got taken home.
I went for the basic Spaghetti with Meatballs. Very good also. The meatballs were nice and spicy. We definitely got full.
After we ate we went across the street and took pictures of the Hill County Courthouse.
It's a beautiful building. They did a great job rebuilding it after the fire.
The bell that was in the tower when it burned is on display in the yard.
We then drove a couple of blocks over and visited the old depot. The Chamber of Commerce resides here now. Lynne talked to the lady working inside while I took a few pictures around the building.
