Hruska's

Double meat cheeseburger was AMAZING!Friendly and traditional service. Technology was surprisingly modern, nothing broken down, and they take contactless payment.I'd definitely visit again!

Always need to stop here on our drive to Austin. Love their homemade bakery items. Plenty of parking out front. Friendly staff. Worth a visit.

This is a MUST-STOP if you are traveling on Highway 71 between Austin and Houston. I'm Czech and I am a kolache snob; these are some of the best kolaches and klobasneks in the State (yes, there is a difference. Kolaches are open faced with a sweet / fruit filling; klobasneks have meat).The apple, blueberry, lemon, and poppy seed are kolache staples but you absolutely have to have the strawberry/cream cheese or cherry/cream cheese kolaches. If you're going down the klobasnek path, go with the pan sausage/jalapeno/cheese or boudin.This is also a convenience store with lots of great road trip snacks and candy that I haven't seen since I was a kid. It really feels like walking back in time (in a good way) when you stop at Hruskas.

It's a good tourist attraction in the area! Great spot to stop at! Their kolaches are yum yum

Definitely better than Buccees ! This is our go to stop when coming out to the hill country! It's not too busy, you can always get a spot at the gas pump, and the kolaches are amazing ! Usually I'd rate it 5 stars but this time they seemed to be renovating or reorganizing. Half the gas options were not available and the store was a but sparse. That being said it's still worth the stop! Come earlier in the day if possible to have more kolache options (we stopped at about 5pm and they were pretty much out of everything). They also have a lot of their own branded snacks plus the usual gas station options. All the staff here are always very chipper and upbeat which is nice too

Hruška's is an absolute must on the way to Austin from Houston. Not only are the kolaches amazing but they also carry a large selection of portable electronics and knick knacks. On our way we naturally stopped for the kolaches. I opted for the spinach feta one that I always get and it was so good this time that I can't ever remember it being this tasty. Five stars just for that.Staff is also very helpful. My car charger stopped working mid drive and they were able to help me find the last cord that was in the store. Clean restrooms so that's always a plus. Almost ended up buying a small collection of lotions and sweet nothings because they were seasonal and all smelled so good. People swear by the jalapeño sausage kolache so if you're into that go for it.

Convenient and clean road trip stop between Houston and Austin, huge variety of convenience and snack items in addition to the bakery, kolaches and sandwiches. Not the average quick shop accompanying a gas station. Staff friendly and seemed happy to work there as well. Would definitely return.

Great little stop between Houston and Austin. It's what you'd expect - lots of snacks, country knock knacks and prices to match. Clean restrooms, ample selection and chickens running around outside.Just be careful and watch your kids - it's literally a few yards from the highway.

Hruskas is the best of the best!! You cannot go wrong getting kolaches from Hruskas. They are authentic a recipe handed from years ago. The owners employees are fast friendly and will treat you like royalty. The next time you're passing through the small town of Ellinger be sure to make a pit stop at this business. Clean restrooms clean store and a lot of truly unique foods and snacks. P.S. the hamburgers are the best in Ellinger too!!

Best burger I've ever had (and I'm picky and have had amazing burgers) we got the single cheeseburger with grilled onions and grilled jalapeños. Incredible flavor. Employees are super nice and I could spend hours in here shopping. A true Texas gem!
